As St. Louis came into view on my flight home, the lush green and rolling hills triggered a pang of emotion inside me that I think I might feel for the rest of my life when I visit Missouri. I’d forgotten how brown Colorado is by comparison until coming back earlier this month to run [...]
 For more than a year now, I’ve known I’ve wanted to expand my little family. After much planning and preparation, I finally took the plunge yesterday, giving my entry-level Fuji DSRL camera a strong and might new sibling; a Nikon [...]
 A crowd favorite was the presentation by Melissa Gilliam (@milligfunk). Melissa was discussing blogging for a non-profit, but honestly she had on the most awesome boots! [...]
Later this morning, I’ll make my way up 1-25 to the north side of Colorado Springs, where I’ll meet Tonya Hall to be a guest on her radio program, The Tonya Hall Show.
Tonya was in the audience when I spoke at Jeff Pulver’s 140 Character Conference Small Town in Hutchinson, Kansas in September. Although she [...]

I know two other women who will be at the event (co-organizers Kat and Wendy), but because Nick is busy with Army business today, he [...]

When I saw this email from them today about the StoryLine Short Story Competition, the writer in me [...]
 This weekend, I took my mountain bike out for the first time since moving to Colorado Springs, Colorado two weeks ago.

As a work at home Mom, I love to cook healthy meals for my family, but I also love convenience. This is why I absolutely LOVE shopping at the Dardenne Prairie Produce Market.
The market sits on the corner of Highway N, right outside of my lovely little community [...]
