It is not traveling around the world, but it has been a journey! I bought my house 10 years ago and never really did as much to the inside or outside as I would have liked — you know, adding particular areas and designs that make it “ours.” Quarantine has really given me the bug (and I know many others, too) to garden, and design personal living spaces.

This past weekend I went on a float trip down the Illinois River with my USA Stars Jiu-jitsu family and some friends. Continue reading “Tahlequah, OK Float Trip”
Last year my daughter and friend took a drive to Colorado Springs, CO; one of my most favorite places.

Sometimes you just need to get away. Get away from the grind of work and your every day mundane life that, after time, seems to suck all the energy right out of you. Maybe it’s just me, but I doubt it. Taking the kids to and from school, after school activities, the office, sitting at a desk in front of one or more computer monitors day in and day out – adulting from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and sometimes on the weekend when you just can’t seem to catch up. Sound familiar? Continue reading “Weekend Getaway to Galveston, Texas”
