splash pads and agua fresca

Labor Day falls at such a bizarre time of year. While many choose to believe that it signals the end of summer, the days continue to be brutally hot, the fruit flies fully rampant, and the peaches, tomatoes, zucchini, and corn still in their prime ripening stages. And yet, I’ve already seen fall decor donning… Read More splash pads and agua fresca

jet-setting and jalapeño cheese balls

Spring was our season of travel. Which is why you haven’t heard from either one of us on the blog recently. We’ve been jet-setting for what feels like a month solid, and unfortunately none of our trips were together. The first foray was my two-week work trip to Mexico. This was the longest I had… Read More jet-setting and jalapeño cheese balls

game night and mussels

So this is it. This is the goodbye we always knew would come but never wanted to accept. After years of “threats” and “delayed forecasts”, Pete and Whitney have finally moved to Texas. And with their departure comes a slew of empty Monday nights and an irreplaceable hole in our Denver community. Reflecting upon their… Read More game night and mussels

ONE and carrot cupcakes

Jason and I were recently asked to give the reflection at our church’s annual Marian Lessons and Carols service. Our task: talk about what we expected pre-baby versus what we got one year later. [HA!] We doubt they expected us to be so blunt and irreverent toward parenthood, but we believe retrospective truth is better… Read More ONE and carrot cupcakes
