When we went up to the mountains on Saturday, we tossed around the idea of driving through Kenosha Pass to see the aspens, but decided against. Our friends told us that was the right call, as apparently all of Denver was driving through the pass that day! Traffic was terrible. So we decided to go […]

Tuesday morning I woke up and got to work writing. My writing block is from 8am to 10am, and I got a lot done on our non-fiction book that we’re working on. Lover and the kids finished up making (and eating!) the ice cream! The kids did chores and other school, and then I came

Wednesday evening I had thrown together a recipe for baked oatmeal. Lover popped it into the oven and we got ourselves ready and then did breakfast with the kiddos. I helped them get through breakfast, hygiene and chores, and then Lover loaded them up and took them down to City Park to explore. Thursday are

Wednesday morning, since Lover had a DMV appointment at our usual video time with Nana and Papa, we did it early. The kids ate their breakfast while we chatted, and Declan made silly faces.

Saturday morning the kids watched their cartoons and Lover and I hung out and talked for a while before he left to go help our friends move. They’re moving out to the “country” on 40 acres, and they are a family of nine, so they needed lots of help! We dropped Lover off, and went

Fridays are another big writing day for me. Lover ran to the store to look for deals, and came home with bison breakfast sausage. We tried it, and agreed it would be better mixed in to things instead of on its own. We tag teamed breakfast and chores and getting the house in order, and

We’ve been dealing with more wildfire smoke that is keeping the mountains out of sight, and hurting our throats! But it has been a little cooler which is nice. I went for a long walk this morning and missed seeing the mountains – and I also realized how out of practice I am with walking!
