I never used to like Crocs. But I hadn't tried them. Then I borrowed a pair at my Dad's house from his girlfriend Sandy. They are awesome! Especially when it is chilly outside and you just want a quic…
Our Neighbor is an Author!

Fun Sprinklers for Kids
I was at Whole Foods the other day when I spotted these cute Melissa & Doug sprinklers for kids! They are adorable!
James and his Frisbee
James used to be a fetch Poodle. He still LOVES fetch, but at 9 years old, he isn't running quite as far and as fast as he used to. Last summer, we bought him this frisbee when we were in Breckenridge, Colorado. He doesn't chase the frisbee…
Made in the USA?
When we were living in Europe, one thing we noticed was that products were almost always local. And not just food. Chris bought new boots in Germany. The boots were made in Germany. I bought towels in Austria. The towels were made in Austri…
Lululemon is Joining the Beauty Bandwagon
I am addicted to ... I mean I enjoy looking at ... the "Just Arrived" section of Sephora's app. I usually check it before bed. Last night, I found a fun new surprise! Lululemon (link no longer available) is joining the beauty bandwagon! For…
White House F-35 Flyover
(Photo credit MANDEL NGAN/AFP) Last week, a single F-35 flew over the White House for the Polish president's visit. I would have LOVED to be in DC to watch it! Instead, I got the best laughs I've had in a while reading my neighbors comments…
Video: Why Trains Suck in America
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbEfzuCLoAQ I really enjoy the YouTube channel Wendover Productions. We love traveling all over Europe by train. But the thing is, cities in Europe are SO much closer to each other (for the most part). Here i…
James 9th Birthday Portraits
Back in April, James celebrated his 9th birthday. James was quite sick on his birthday so we didn't take any official birthday portraits until the end of May. James is doing much better and he looks great! Not all storms come to disrupt you…
More Summer Snow Photos
There was so much snow we had to get James' snow boots out of his closet! James likes to eat snow. What? Do I have some on my nose? Eating snow again!
Snow?! Where is Summer?
This Spring in Colorado... wait... it is Summer... has been cold! We keep getting snow and I am starting to wonder when summer will start. It is finally getting up to the 60s and 70s during the day so the snow does quickly melt when it does…
My Favorite Mascaras 2019
I am always on a quest to find the best mascara. There are so many good ones out there! These three are my current favorites and I have them in my makeup bag right now. Clinique High Impact Mascara I'…
Night Sky Photos
We decided to get up in the middle of the night and take some night sky photos. I didn't bring my big cameras - just my little Canon G7x. Chris brought his 360° camera and he also did some time lapse …
My favorite BB Cream 2019
If you know me in person or if you have followed this blog for a while, you know I LOVE makeup. I love playing with it and finding the best of the best. I'm always on the hunt for something newer and better (especially when it comes to masc…
Roof Racks in Colorado
One thing I love about Colorado is that so many people have so many outdoor hobbies. It has been an unusually cold and wet May (now June!) and people are still skiing! I love seeing the skis and snowb…
Ziploc Twist N Loc
I've never been a huge fan of the cheap disposable/reusable food storage containers. The original Ziploc containers were okay - but they just seemed flimsy and cheap. It seemed like my food was going to leak out if the container tipped over…
Pop Tarts Cereal
It is fun coming back to the US and wandering around my favorite store, WalMart. You never know what you are going to find! I am actually surprised that it took Pop Tarts so long to make a cereal. I didn't buy this because I don't really ea…
Introduction to Archery
It's great to meet new people and it's even better to meet amazing people. Recently we made some new friends, Becky and Sharon, and in our conversation we learned that they were competitive archers! I have recently gained an interest in arc…
Lucky's Market
When we were visiting family in South Florida, Kristi and Jeremy told us about Lucky's Market. We had just come back from many months in Europe and I hadn't seen a Publix in years. So I was just too excited about Publix to stop at Lucky's M…
Prescription Drug Discounts for Dogs?
James has seen quite a few specialist veterinarians recently. Specialist #1 gave James his high dose prednisone to slow down his immune system since James was initially anemic and had zero platelets. Just in case J's immune system was attac…
