The Heirloom Market | T-shirts

These t-shirts are something I am extremely proud of. I’m not going to lie in that these designs are easily created though. Not because they are complicated but because they speak for the brand and that is something that I take very seriously. When someone is wearing one of these shirts, I want people to get a quick feel for…

Wildflower Bouquet

This wildflower bouquet made in a Ball jar was just screaming Nebraska prairie sunset to me. I knew the location and I knew the antique stool to use, I just needed to make it happen. Sometimes the tall grasses, weeds, and overgrown areas are the perfect backdrop when you have that soft sunset light. It would never of looked right…

Our Favorite Colorado State Park

We have gone to Castlewood Canyon State Park several times over this summer. It has become our favorite place to go for a hike and just get away from the busy city. As a photographer I love to visit a location many times as it always presents something different to photograph. The tree or bridge may stay the same but…

Roxborough State Park

Roxborough State Park just might be more beautiful than Garden of the Gods. I said it! This area is incredibly gorgeous, even the drive into the park is spectacular. There is so much to see in this area with the rock formations and I love the story behind the park and the old buildings. We were blessed with a beautiful…

3 Year House Anniversary

I still love this house as much, if not more, then when we first walked in June 2020. It’s hard to believe that it has already been 3 years that we have lived here and have worked to make it ours. Making a home is something that I have always loved. It has never mattered what type of home we…

4th of July in Nebraska

Going to my family’s farm in Nebraska for the 4th of July is something my little family looks forward to every year. For us, the ability to actually shoot off fireworks and get some really big one’s far out weighs staying in Colorado where they have so many laws you can’t even have a sparkler. The whole point of the…

2023 June Garden

I’ve been browsing images of the garden from last year (see posts June, July, October) to see the changes that have occurred. Many plants are much bigger this year and things are filling in. Other plants have struggled and we’ve had to decide to see if it will survive or needs to be removed. That’s gardening … you win some…

Blooming in the Garden | Peonies

This is the very first time that I have grown peonies in my garden. It took a lot of work in the spring to keep the buds from freezing as we get some late May snow storms and cold spells. Living at 6400 ft elevation definitely has its gardening challenges. All that work was well worth it to enjoy these…

Castlewood Canyon State Park

Castlewood Canyon near Franktown, Colorado is such a little surprise as you travel south of Parker on Hwy 83. Everything is fairly flat and then all of sudden you go over this bridge and a canyon underneath. We stumbled across this Colorado State Park quite a few years ago while traveling to Colorado Springs so when we moved to the…
