Trail: Mount Flora Length: 6.3 miles RT Elevation Gain: 1,788 ft Where: Empire, Colorado (on the way to Winter Park) Closest Town: Empire/Winter Park Distance from Denver: ~ 1 1/2 hours Hiking Mt. Flora Mount Flora has been on my bucket list for years, and it was way more than I expected! I knew this hike was mostly above tree line, but the 360 views were truly spectacular. The elevation gain starts out a little strong, but once you get above the tree line it turns into a gradual uphill then evens out. There are a lot of “False Peaks” along the way as you really just hike along a spine t ..read more

The current Southwest Card Bonus is a 50,000 bonus points 2019’s motto was Southwest Companions Pass or bust!!! Seriously, our goal for the year was to earn the Southwest Companion Pass so that we could fly two for the price of one on Southwest. We got the companion pass in 2019 and have kept it for the last 5 years essentially flying 2 for 1 (or free)! Why I Love Flying Southwest It’s cheap – I mean significantly cheaper than any other airline flying out of Denver. Within the US it’s almost always the cheapest flight for us. Points Go Along Way – On other airlines, it can be north of 20,000 ..read more

Primary Swimsuit I never dreamed shopping for Callie’s clothes could be so fun! I always try to shop sustainably when possible and have found a few brands I love. Remember being sustainable is a spectrum; the most sustainable thing would be to buy nothing and only use hand-me-downs- and I do try! I have found many great deals on baby clothes on Poshmark, local Facebook groups and a few children’s consignment shops around town but when I do shop, these are my favorite brands. Most of these brands are great for bodysuits, t-shirts, pants/leggings, and some dresses. Almost everything is 100% or ..read more

Happy Organized – Denver’s Best Professional Home Organizer
Blue Mountain Belle

Melissa with Happy Organized Denver Feeling overwhelmed with stuff, baby stuff, overflowing gearboxes and winter sweaters? Then you need to call the best home organizer in Denver, Happy Organized. Lets face it, houses in Denver are small, and real closet space is hard to come by. We lucked out with a pretty good size basement and lots of storage, but it was never organized. We moved in 5 years ago, and everything that didn’t fit upstairs just landed downstairs haphazardly. Sure, sometimes, during a spring cleaning, things would get tidied up, but no real system. I had lots of categories split ..read more

Brunch… it’s pretty glorious. You wake up and decide there is no way you’re cooking, and you need something extra delicious.
