A few months ago I was wandering around Manitou Springs, which is a cute little town nestled in the mountains full of fun shops and food. Sadly Manitou has been hard hit with all the rain we’ve been having not just over the past week, but the past 90 days. Forest fires leave the mountains […]

There were presents- for Christmas, and for birthdays! There were great times with my husband and children– all were home for the past […]
Do you ever hear a song once, and it’s stuck in your head for the rest of the day? Apparently those are called “earworms”. Which I think is a disgusting name for something so fun. But Maroon 5’s Sugar is definitely an earworm for me. I love it- it is just a fun song, and […]
