    Santa’s Workshop North Pole Colorado

    The last time I visited Santa’s Workshop North Pole near Colorado Springs, was over 25 years ago. The memories of the park itself are vague, but the excitement of celebrating Christmas in Santa’s off-season is still vivid as ever. This year they celebrate 63 years in business, but somehow they are still one of Colorado’s best-kept secrets. Located on Pikes Peak Highway, Santas Workshop North Pole Colorado is the perfect place for family fun and adventure any time of year. A few weeks ago we planned a last-minute…

    Houston Axe Throwing

    You guys, I am not one to pay much attention to ads. Especially not Facebook ads. But one day I’m just scrolling through my feed, minding everyone else’s business, when I came across an ad for Houston Axe Throwing. Read that again. Axe throwing. In Houston. If it wasn’t obvious after Goat Yoga, I am clearly down for (almost) anything. As much as axe throwing sounded like it was absolutely not my thing, I had to get in on this. First of all, we owe a huge thanks…

    Goat Yoga Texas!

    Goat Yoga. Yep. It’s a thing. It’s a real thing. I read about it a long time ago in one of those crazy news stories that suck you in when you’re supposed to be doing something important. Basically, these west coast weirdos were doing yoga while some goats ran around. “People are so weird,” was my thought. Didn’t cross my mind again. Then a few weeks ago I happened to be watching another video that was completely unrelated, but mentioned Goat Yoga just to be funny. I decided…

    If you know me at all you know I’m kind of obsessed with pictures. Yours, mine, people I don’t know, beautiful, blurry, all of them. I seriously don’t know what it is, but I just love to look at pictures. So when we happen to be doing something fun I kind of go crazy and take a million. While we were in Destin over the summer (read about it here), every day at sunset the beach would be covered with families and photographers. It got me thinking. Why…

    Bayou City Art Festival

    Last weekend our plans got canceled so I decided to check out Jill B. Jarvis.com to see what else may be going on around town. First of all, if you have kids and live anywhere near Houston you need to be following her page. Jill does an amazing job of listing all the major (and minor) events going on every single week in Houston. I loved her site before when it was Big Kid Small City, but when she complimented me on the pictures on this little blog,…

    P-6 Farms Fall Festival

    Harper’s school had a 4-day weekend for Columbus Day and though Dustin had to work, I was determined to make it a fun staycation for the 3 of us. One of the many things we did was spending a day at P6 Farms in Montgomery, Texas. We’ve been to other farms around Houston, but when I talked to Dustin that night I told him that P6 was my new favorite farm of all, hands down. First of all, I bought the tickets online just before we left the…

    Destination: Destin

    Since summer is almost over and it’s our last summer before Harper starts kindergarten (I’m only crying a little over here), we planned a last-minute trip to Destin. It also happened to be over my mom’s 60th birthday so I coerced her into tagging along. Then I remembered that my sister, Jackie, was wanting to take her kids somewhere within driving distance, so I invited them too. And then suddenly we had a lot of people. We decided to rent a condo, which, you know, has its pros…

    Great Wolf Lodge and Arkansas Road Trip

    Dustin had been in training for the majority of the month and he finally had a week off. Before he left for training we kept saying we should do something when he got home but we didn’t start looking until he was back home. Seattle, LA, San Diego and San Fran, New York, Ontario, Orlando, Nassau… everything was so expensive. Everywhere. Guess that’s what happens when you look at flights for tomorrow. So I literally opened the map app on my phone and zoomed out as if I…

    Houston Children’s Festival 2018

    Over the weekend I got a wild hair and decided I was daring enough to brave the Houston Children’s Festival with both of my children, without my working husband. I took Harper 2 years ago, before Hudson was around, so we kinda knew what to expect from the festival, but when you take an 8 month old out of the house you will never be adequately prepared. I tried to convince my sister (and consequently her husband) to come in hopes that there would be more adults to…

Every time I finish a closet or a drawer or a room, I just have to step back and look at it. It feels so good. So much lighter. It’s amazing how having too much stuff can weigh you down without you even realizing it. ⁣

Just search for “Gaoye blue light blocking glasses” on Amazon and you’ll see all the different pairs and sets of glasses they have to offer. Whichever you choose they’re affordable, super cute, and definitely make you smarter! 😉⁣

My husband kept asking me what we were going to do next, but the best part about this place is there are zero plans. You just go wherever the wind blows and then hurry back when the dinner bell rings (or the breakfast or lunch bell because we ate gooood on the ranch).⁣

But one of my all time favorite things is hopping a plane on a gloomy day and then suddenly emerging through the top of the clouds to a blinding sun. Bonus if it happens to be right at sunrise. It always feels as though the weight of the world has suddenly been lifted. Wrong is right, problems are solved, and sadness melts away in the joyful sunlight. ⁣

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when you’re feeling sad, it really does help to remember a few of your favorite things. Because it’s always sunny on top of all those clouds.⁣
