During my lunch break I made the last minute decision to get my hair done, changing my usual dark to something warmer and lighter. In my whim of inspiration I came across Paisley Salon and Spa next to the Sunflower Market off of Arapahoe Rd and Parker. As I walked in I was filled with [...]
So this weekend we had a few surprise visitors drop in for just a moment but it was long enough for me to look around and see all the nick knacks, art work, mail, completely random stuff hiding around the house. We had all of our laundry done and folded but it was hanging out [...]
The last couple of months I have been receiving Xtrac Laser treatments to try to reverse my Vitiligo. If you are not familiar with vitiligo, it is basically an auto-immune condition that causes loss of skin pigment in small to large patches around the body. Michael Jackson had it...hence the change from a black guy [...]
We are not perfect and we definitely know we are not the only couple having success with our marriage. Do not take this as bragging but being proud of a beautiful thing we have and can share the same experiences with our friends and family. Over the last 9 years of our time together we have [...]
After volunteering my time to teach a Zumba class to my local Mops group I found myself in awe. I was in awe of the beauty of like minded women coming together to support each other, take time for themselves and step outside of their environment as they figure out this incredible task called motherhood. [...]
Yeah, it's true, I am not able to do a pull-up yet but it's sort of necessary for the Tough Mudder race! I will need to be able to pull myself up and over a wall, climb a rope, swing from one to ring to another, and several other similar movements...all of these which involve [...]
Tonight Adam and I made a last minute decision to go out. We called our resources, found a sitter, put the girls to bed and set out into the town. It had been a couple months since we had gone a date with just the two of us and by golly it was wonderful! We [...]
Well... It is done! We are committed! Adam and I have committed to and registered for the Tough Mudder race September 12th at 8am in Snowmass Village! The two of us will be joining three other amazing couples as we trudge through a 10-12 mile (18-20 km) obstacle course designed to test physical strength and mental [...]
Tonight I found myself singing to myself that ridiculous song "Human Again" from The Princess and the Frog as we finished cleaning up dishes and tidying up from dinner. The crazy part is I wasn't singing it in a happy and sweet tone. It kind of sounded like a remix of Marilyn Manson and Johnny [...]
I've been reading "You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life" by Jen Sincero. Holy cow this book is so real and so right! My sweet Chica Bonita sent me the book in the mail knowing I am a bada** just like her and needed to start acting [...]
Something that our family has been working on the last year or more is planning our meals in advance so that we can shop according to that list, control the types of food we eat and avoid the "Hmm, what should we make for dinner tonight? Eh, let's just order something..." that leads to not [...]
Sometimes we get stuck in a rut or we get too comfortable with what we are doing. If you don't shake it up you will burn out and give in to being too busy or too tired to take care of yourself. My friend Brittney invited me to join her to take a Burlesque class. [...]
