hump day sale

This is my first 24 hour sale, and I’m excited to see how it goes. Here’s the deal: today’s sale is a $20 savings on butter cream wrist gloves, but the offer ends at midnight tonight. If the gloves sell before midnight, I’ll list another item for sale and the 24 hour period will begin […]

climbing the canyon

We went climbing again this weekend and are trying to soak in the last, few, warm days before the snow sets in to stay. We were in Castlewood Canyon for the first time and had some great climbs. Chris succeeded with his first lead climb, and I did my first self-repel. It’s still a bit […]

The little saying on the back of the packet implies that since our life is so short, we should not deny ourselves […]

a room for molly

A dear friend of mine is having a baby any day now and I wanted to get some photos of her room before it is inhabited. I think it’s the most little-girl-looking room I’ve ever seen in my life and it’s adorable. The colours and textures all waiting to wrap and comfort a tiny, fragile […]
