I think I mentioned in a previous post that I was from a small town in Southern Illinois. I grew up in a beloved Craftsman home right next to my Dad’s funeral home and had endless games of kickball and freeze tag in its big parking lot. We had lemonade stands, big trees, and lots of friendly […]

I’m still in withdrawal after leaving NYC. Yes, it was a lot of walking. Yes, it was a lot of people. And yes, my shoes did occasionally stick to the subway floor, but something about it makes it hard to leave. I can put up with a little stickiness in exchange for choice, creativity, individualism, […]

Well, we spent the end of May hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, and then on the 13th we headed out for a quick adventure to New York City. My brother lives in Brooklyn, and we hadn’t been able to visit him in five years so it was time. I had a list of places, parks, […]

One of my favorite things on the planet to do is hike Rocky Mountain National Park (obviously!). We recently spent 5 days there, and honestly, it was a much needed break from the everyday and from a gym. Don’t get me wrong, I am extremely grateful to have a great place to workout, but I […]

“Get it together, Mom!” my oldest son yelled back at me. I could not control my laughing. I really had lost it. We were in the middle of the beautiful Rocky Mountains and I had a case of the belly laughs. Who knew horses could be so funny? If I were honest this post should […]

I recently told you that we were Colorado bound again. Right after school ended we packed up our trusty Windstar (the good ole girl has 150,000 miles on her) and traveled West with our 5 kiddos to Rocky Mountain National Park. For me, this was a highly anticipated event. I had over a year of […]

In my recent post I shared a little bit about my trip to San Diego. I really don’t like to fly but decided it was well worth it to get on a plane and have some time with my husband. The trip started out kind of rocky when we first got there. It was very late our time and we […]

5 suitcases? – check! 2 boxes of food?-check! Snacks? – check! Diapers? – check! Wipes? – check! Paper towels? – check! Books, mad libs, music, pencils? – check, check, check, check! The list to get out the door for a family of 7 can be intense but for an 8-night road-trip to Colorado, it’s like […]
