Having a 4-pack Sausage Squad did not stop us this year from doing the outdoorsy adventures we love to do. In fact, our weenie crew’s short stature is probably the perfect reminder that life, too, is short and we should … Continue reading
…BIRTHDAYS!!! Hubby and I both have winter birthdays, and as a kid, I always hated sharing my birthday with the Christmas holiday, but as an adult, that hardly matters anymore. Even though I’ve come to accept my winter birthday, my … Continue reading
During the first few years of our relationship, hubby and I had an annual tradition to meet up with his dad and sister to camp over the Easter weekend. It was one of the few times we would all get … Continue reading

Pie and I try to go camping in Colorado quite a bit from late spring to early autumn. It almost seems kind of silly that we go through all the trouble we do to pack up shelter, clothing, gear, food, … Continue reading
It’s midsummer and it shouldn’t come as a shock that the blog hasn’t seen much activity because hubby and I are in full swing of summer activities over here! We have been getting in every camping, hiking, and biking adventure … Continue reading
Pie and I weren’t sure what to expect when we visited Telluride for my birthday celebration in December. Our last trip to Telluride in 2016 for my birthday was one of the most memorable and amazing trips I had ever … Continue reading
Back in late September, hubby and I took our first backpacking trip together. The weekend forecast was calling for several hours of rain starting Saturday afternoon, and even snow, in most of the higher elevations throughout Colorado. Worried that this … Continue reading
Before hubby and I said goodbye to 2016, we took a quick weekend trip to Telluride, Colorado, for my birthday. Although I’ve never had any big, eventful birthday celebrations to compare this one to, I would still have to say … Continue reading
Today marks two years since Pie and I tied the knot in Breckenridge. I usually hate cliche sayings like this, but it’s so fitting to say that “time flies when you’re having fun”! Pie and I moved to Denver soon … Continue reading
Ack! I can’t believe it’s already Autumn! It feels like just yesterday that hubby and I were enjoying lunch breaks at the park and happy hours on patios downtown. Summer is my favorite season and it’s really sad to see … Continue reading
In my last post about the first 14er hubby and I climbed together as part of our Summer bucket list, I SWORE (quite literally!) that I would never do another 14er ever, ever, ever again. Well, obviously this post isn’t … Continue reading
In my summer bucket list post, I mentioned 17 activities that Pie and I wanted to get done during our first summer here in Colorado. One of those items was to hike a 14er, a peak above 14,000 feet. August … Continue reading
Pie and I love getting away from the city to be outdoors, so we had some pretty busy summers in New Mexico. As you can imagine, with the wedding now behind us and living in a new, big city that … Continue reading
It’s no secret that I am a pretty darn crafty person and the wedding ended up being my perfect outlet and excuse for creating all things cute! I hated wedding planning. Hate, hate, hate… hated it! At every point along the … Continue reading
