I know I’ve been very quiet on this blog over the last few months. It’s not because I’ve stopped supporting small businesses (or stopped working)…but because I’ve started working a whole lot more for one small business in particular. Earlier ..read more

Support local business AND protect our community by ordering a face mask from one of these Denver businesses.
Are you wearing a face mask? We live in a very populated area in Northwest Denver, and I’m noticing less than half the people who walk by are wearing masks. People, we’ve GOT to mask up! As a rule follower by nature, I’m humbly abiding by Governer Polis’s recommendation to mask up when going out in public. I’ve read online where people say they think they’re fine so they don’t need it, but here’s the thing…you may feel fine, but you may be asymptomatic and unknowingly spre ..read more

Here’s one more way to support local businesses…order a Denver coffee subscription from a local coffee shop so you can enjoy your usual cup of java at home.
Coffee shops have long been at the heart of community gathering places and, though they have to shutter their doors temporarily, we don’t want them to go away for good. Many are still open for to-go orders, but what if you’re not leaving your house? This weekend when my husband mentioned we were running low, I remembered that a number of local coffee shops offer subscription services. Here’s a round-up of Denver coffee subscriptions you ..read more

Leever’s Locavore on W. 38th Avenue is open and customers are finding it pretty well stocked with produce, meats, dairy, and local specialty items.
Times are certainly changing, but we still all have to eat, and these Denver local grocers are staying open to support us during the COVID outbreak, so let’s support them!
Okay, guys, I know this is a kind-of scary time, but now more than ever it’s important to support our local businesses. Our local guys are going to take a hit more than big business, and because they’re our friends, our neighbors, and a part of our community, it’s so important ..read more

How to support local businesses, neighbors and yourself while practicing social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak in Denver.
The last week and a half I’ve been holed up at home with my youngest who has been recovering from surgery, one wary eye on him and one wary eye on the news. Youngest and I are still shut in at home, but now my 7-year-old will be joining us as DPS closed schools for the next few weeks, and Mayor Hancock declared a local state of emergency. Our world is certainly looking quite a bit different today than it did even just a couple of days ago.
Like you, I’ve seen ..read more

Worthing Co. in Denver’s Highland neighborhood is a home furnishings and accessories boutique with a decidedly rustic and modern farmhouse aesthetic.
A visitor from Arkansas writes in to say she will be visiting Mile High and plans to spend a day shopping for rustic furniture in Denver but doesn’t know where to begin. Here are our recommendations.
Dear Denver Dweller:
My husband and I recently relocated from Austin to Fayetteville. We built a house that we love, but trying to find home decor in Northwest Arkansas has been a wee bit of a challenge. We will be in Denver, and we’ve set a ..read more
