My new favorite bar in Colorado Springs is a lil Tiki underground oasis. Located on Tejon downtown, you'll spot the sign before you know you've found the place. You won't see a typical store front because it's located down a set of stairs which feels more magical and speakeasy-esque. When I walked in, my mouth …
I can’t remember if I’ve shared this video or not here. It’s Dr. Martin Luther King Day today and I will be continuing my anti-racism work. Part of that work is taking care of myself. And experiencing awe and wonder play a huge part in my mental health upkeep. So here’s one of the ways …
Let's talk ice cream. Malcolm is basically addicted to the stuff. He has ice cream most days and loves it each time like it's the first time he's ever tasted it. On a recent brunch excursion with Malcolm's mom, Michelle, we stopped in Frozen Gold on Moreno in downtown Colorado Springs. I had never been …
Since November, a permafrost and leftover snow blankets the ground in patches. Directly beneath the thin snow is a layer of ice. We took the dogs on a walk last weekend and I slipped on a patch of ice and completely ate it. I fell gently into a pile of snow, somehow, so I didn’t …

Looking back on my most recent photos, I don't seem to have many photos that don't include my dog or cats. It's been cold and snowy in Colorado for the past few weeks, so I've been cuddling up to the animals inside. This photo was taken amongst the many pet pics on a warm-ish February …
Remember last year when I posted about transforming and recreating my life? Well, friends, I’m doing the thing again. Big changes are coming up and I can’t wait for them to be here. Maybe that’s why I love autumn so much. It bewitches me with the reminder that nature recreates itself every year. Here are …
Hi friends! I have so many recent photos to share, but this is my favorite. Atticus and I went on a solo hike to Rampart Reservoir last weekend. It's such a beautiful place, and I'd highly recommend it. To get to the reservoir proper, you have to pay $6. It's totally worth it if you …
