I’m about to write a blog entry about a card game. Yes seriously. This either means I have completely lost it or I’m writing about the best card game ever. My vote is the latter, and hopefully you agree too! Lately my life has seriously been benefitting from a lot of cabin time in Grand … Continue reading »

“If your heart is open…”
It’s almost time for my favorite holiday of the year – Valentine’s Day! Kidding. That’s something nobody says. If you’re single Valentine’s Day is also known as “That One Day You Really Want to Avoid Facebook and All Social Media in General.” If you’re in a relationship it’s known as “That One Day You Have … Continue reading »
The two week rule
My friend Emily posted this quote on Instagram today: I found this quote to ring very true – often the hardest things in life are what turn us into stronger people. And I think this quote can also apply to the pursuit of fun. The activities that are the most rewarding are usually the hardest. … Continue reading »
Sometimes it’s good to lie
I have this theory about outdoor activities: I think the secret to success is being really good at lying. No really. I think the secret to successfully climbing a 14er or dropping into that double black diamond ski run that is maybe a little above your ability is being able to convince yourself that it’s … Continue reading »
Opposite day
This isn’t going to be an entry about how I spent Labor Day trying stand-up paddling, rock climbing, going on an intense hike or kayaking. Although I so would do all of the above.

So after last weekend’s extravaganza, I had already been planning on taking this weekend off from playing in the mountains. However the universe … Continue reading »
Mussel mania
I’m a simple girl really. I mean all I wanted for my birthday was mountains and 10 pounds of Prince Edward Island mussels cooked five different ways and rose champagne. No big deal. Birthday card from a coworker. Me climbing a mountain! I know it seems like I have been blogging about my birthday for … Continue reading »
Home isn’t just a place
When I do random things like intern in Honduras, move to Atlanta for four months and decide to relocate to Denver, it probably seems like I’m this super human person that is completely independent and doesn’t need anyone else. That is true to some extent. Looking back on my time in Honduras, I really can’t … Continue reading »

Backpack adventures
There’s really no greater conversation starter than a backpack full of Yorkie. My roommate’s parents are out of town this weekend, and so we are baby-sitting their Yorkie, Moose. You may recall the time that I got to give Moose a bath in the kitchen sink. Earlier this week my roommate mentioned that Moose liked … Continue reading »
Spring has sprung
While my skis sadly stare at me every time I do laundry in the basement, spring has sprung in Colorado. I really want nothing to do with slushy skiing, and so I have been reluctantly converting to a spring state of mind. How do I go about preparing for spring? First, I got my bicycle … Continue reading »
