It’s hard to believe that Christmas has now officially been over a full month ago! Sometimes it feels like the last couple months of the year can really blend together, and maybe a lot of that is due to the anticipation of the holidays — of reconnecting with family and old friends from back home. … More 1.27.19 Our (first) Little West Coast Christmas
Man oh man, this might be a record for latest “Monthly Lookback” post…ever! The holidays are always such a busy time, and I try to remain in the moment during them, so sometimes that means not bringing out the computer for quite some time. That and, it seems like as soon as the New Year … More 1.17 December’s Lookback
In a line of poetry you are the punctuation — my caesura.
While this post is long long lonngggg overdue (I blame it on the holidays!), today I’m sharing details about our parents’ visit over the Thanksgiving holiday! This was the first time since living here that both of our parents came out at the same time — and my dad’s first trip out here since I … More 1.9 Our Parents Week Recap
Today I just wanted to share some photos that I took during our little morning trip to the Vasquez Rocks to hike with the pups!

And some days it’s just a scribble of peoples’ names. But I always try to include some of the … More 12.5 Giving thanks each day
Over the last two weeks, I was lucky enough to get some time off of work to take a night class and expand some of my #worklifeknowledge! And with that night class, then, came free daylight hours! I took advantage of my time off by spending as much time outside as humanly possible. And one … More 11.14 Four Hikes for your Four-Legged Friends
Last weekend, Alex and I found ourselves with an open Sunday. We had zero plans, the neighbors were out of town, and Al was coming off of a long week at work. So we decided to get out of town for the day to see two places that have both been on our Long-List for … More 11.11 Sight Seeing on a Sunday: The Salton Sea, Salvation Mountain, and Mud Volcanoes
Here we are again, with another monthly roundup! These things are just coming faster and faster these days! My neighbor was looking at my planner the other day and couldn’t believe how much I had written in each block, but I told her I have to keep track of a lot of little things in … More 11.5 October in Review
