My first Colorado BBQ — thanks to my brother, who purchased the grill as a housewarming gift: Birthday’s celebrated: 1 Long-time interweb friends finally met in person: 1 (Colleen! Wahooo!) Bowls of “back up guacamole made just in case”: 2...

Adam and Kim are in town for a bit of rest before their wedding early next month. Don’t tell Wills and Kate, but I’m pretty sure the Wright wedding is set to be the event of the decade. Friends from far and wide are attending the Wyoming bash, which is set...

My friends Steve and Jan live on a couple acres near Denver and have the most impressive gardens I’ve ever seen. Jan can grow just about anything, while Steve uses his carpentry skills for good. Arbors, raises beds, handmade bee hives, a pond, etc. With gorgeous...

So, apparently I’m the only woman who doesn’t own a dirndl. In all fairness, I didn’t even know the word dirndl until last week, when I happened to mention to my friend Sheila (who is German) that Finny (who is not German) loves a trip around the...

Falling back to my classic baby gifts: minky backed blankets and personalized onesies. Easy to create, fun to sew and a pleasure to send to new parents. ~K

The great mystery of why the hardwood floors are always gritty was solved when I put Mr. Nelson in the tub this weekend for his first bath. He doesn’t shed. And rumor has it that he’s hypoallergenic. Both awesome. He’s also, apparently, secretly a...
