A blogger friend once told me, “The asymmetrical bob is like a Coach bag. Every girl wants one until she has it.” Well. For the record — I like both. Thanks Noelle! ~K P.S. Uh, hell...
I’m moving this week. Again. To a house I absolutely love, which is a lot closer to the trailheads and mountains. If you care to throw some good juju my way: the Golden City Council will be dec...
While packing, I ran across a set of newspaper front pages I’ve kept over the years. What a sad, crazy time this has been for our country and world, with the occasional burst of local pride: In...
Hannah and I met when we were working at a bakery together last summer. At just 18, boy did this girl have a lot to teach me. Our friendship bloomed over watching muffins rise and fall in a faulty ov...
Oh Kara, When you suggested this month we cover our favorite summer footwear, I jumped with glee. As my mother can tell you, I have always had “a thing for shoes and bags.” So, you know. ...
This sweet man, named Bill, works on the Pearl Street mall in Boulder. His profession? Poet by hire, of course. For a donation of your choice, you can give Bill a word or idea and he’ll careful...
My friend Tina and I have been studying the Bible together for several years. We started when we both lived in the Scottsdale-area and have continued via Skype from Colorado and Georgia. Our (mostly)...
Last week, I caught a ridiculously early flight to Phoenix, jumped in a rental car the size of a shoe, and was in Tucson by lunch to surprise this lovely lady for her 82nd birthday: My Grandmother Ma...
I know I’ve mentioned more than once that I’m super lucky and blessed for having connected with so many like-minded women via the interwebs. Right? I mean — Zarah came to hang out a...
Since moving to Colorado, I’ve joined a writing cooperative and several writing groups. I’ve been taking courses, having my work read and submitting to contests. One criticism has been co...

Somebody got a haircut and looks like a proper terrier now. We both hate it. I think he’s cuter scruffy and curly (kinda like I like my men) and I’m pretty sure he feels to prim and priss...
I have a new project I am managing in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I’ll travel there every couple of months. It’s a bit of a pain to get to, but it is worth the trek. Growing up in Arizona, wher...
Our sewing update this month is a wee bit late, but I’ve been having technical difficulties. The winners this month include all those who participated. Why? Because I can. And because they were...
Last week I found myself in Tulsa, Oklahoma with a few hours to kill. “Tulsa, Oklahoma, will a few hours to kiiiilllllll.” Sometimes the country lyrics of my life write themselves. I checked in with ...
Yeah. I KNOW. The blog has been down for more than a week. Blame Dreamhost for their shaky service and poor customer service. Many thanks to Jason and Randy for resurrecting this baby. {You guys are ...
Happy 1 year anniversary, Colorado. What a fun, crazy, adventurous time it has been: I love Colorado.* I am grateful for the many things this move has provided, namely: a much stronger relationship w...

Finny and I met up last week for our annual girl’s adventure. This year, we tackled Austin, Texas. And oh — the shenanigans: We rented bikes from Barton Springs Bike Rental (A+), w...
Sweet Kara, Friend, I am tired. This post is more than a week late because I’ve spent more time at Denver International than my own home in the last two months. And let’s be honest: IR...
{My fifth and final example of why the Indiana State Tourism board should hire me.} One of my personality quirks is deep, unbridled nervousness at the absolute worst time. It is a cunning emotion tha...
I’m not exactly a sports fan these days. I very vaguely keep my eye on golf, the Broncos and Olympic swimming. So I wasn’t exactly as in the know about touring Butler University. {where H...
Eli Lilly is huge in Indiana. Their name is everywhere you turn, including the Lilly house, as seen on the grounds of the Indy Museum of Art: Easiest way to tell I’m still a desert girl at hear...
Lisa arranged a Segway tour of Indianapolis not 48 hours after I’d joked with Adam how lame I thought people looked with helmets scooting around town on those silly things. Of course, I was far...
I’m dedicating the next week’s worth of posts to my new favorite state in the union: Indiana. That’s right, Indiana. Home of the Hoosers, the Butler Bulldogs and the best book club ...
If you ever happen to find yourself in Tyler, Texas — might I recommend one of the city’s best restaurants: Villa Montez. Located in an old mansion on a hill, surrounded by incredible gar...
A few photos from a lovely Easter weekend: {Have I already mentioned how over the moon I am to have Adam and Kim living in my neighborhood? They just drove over for brunch and hung out for a ...
In Phoenix, I was a member of the “No Vampire, Anti-Suck bookclub.” This coven of librarians came together monthly to enjoy dinner and review a book of choice. The books we read were acro...
