We had the best time in Banff National Park. Those beautiful mountains were so relaxing and rejuvenating. We flew into Calgary—a quick 2.5 hr flight from Denver, and made our way to Banff. We spent the evening walking around and exploring the town a bit. We walked to …. Waterfall, but there wasn’t really a…
When your daughter and her BFF ask you to take them to NYC, the answer is always YES. Angie was performing in her senior showcase in front of agents and talent scouts, and so Halle and I came to watch her. It was Angie’s first time in the city, and it was so much fun…
We woke up to more blue sky! Hooray!! Rusty, Halle and I walked down to Fruit Ninja for Açaí. Big meh. Then we woke up the boys to get started on our last beach day. We went to Black Rock beach and Rusty had his best snorkel yet—he saw 2 turtles, a white tipped reef…

We leaned hard into our Disney bounds and they turned out amazing!! We called this a “work trip” for my Etsy…
What an absolute honor and adventure to get to attend Jessica and Lucas’s wedding in Roatan. Jessica was a picture-perfect bride, and as always, I love being with my Hawaii friends. I almost got turned away at customs! Apparently, someone else with a similar name was on some kind of watch list, and they had…
