Cold weather is here for a week in Colorado. I wanted to do something creative and unique! I had an old flower bouquet from my daughters birthday last week and some harden lemons and oranges. I saw this idea from 1000 hours outside and decided to give it a go! It was super easy and if it is warmer in your neck of the woods, you can always put them in the freezer! Check out my REEL on how to do it on Instagram!

Hiking in the winter has become one of my new favorites. This hike is a small waterfall in the summer, but a beautiful masterpiece that looks like Elsa could have created it, in the Winter and a favorite of Ice Climbers. We were fortunate enough to explore on a day when there were no ice climbers and we had the trail pretty much to ourselves. This is how you find this magical place. Copeland Falls or Hidden Falls Located in Rocky Mountain National Park on the Wild Basin Side is where you find Copeland falls. But it is not off of the most popular trails that I often do in the Summer Ouzel Fall ..read more

Anne U White Trail

If you are looking for a great hike to take your kids this summer, look no further then the Anne U White trail in Boulder Colorado. This is a step above a nature walk as there is a slight climb, but this would be fun for even the youngest of hikers. Lots of big boulders to hope on as you cross the creek over 25 times. The kids loved it and Celia said it was her favorite hike ever. Go early, before 8:30am for the best parking. That is when we arrived and we had many spots to choose from. So many hikers were coming up as we came down. Many were parked on the road when we finished the hike abo ..read more

Get some Rocks! Find them on a walk, from your front yard or Go to Home Depot or Lowes. I like to buy Mexican Beach Pebbles. A bag of like 80-100 rocks costs me $10.00. Wash your rocks off in the sink and pat dry with a towel Use acrylic paint, I just buy from Hobby Lobby or Walmart. A base coat of white paint Before the color you want to paint the rock makes the color pop! Be patient and let it dry between coats. Buy Acrylic Paint markers. I bought these markers off Amazon. They are some of the least expensive but I think they have worked really great for a beginner with 3 kids. Some of my ..read more

We went on a nature walk and brought home some sticks. Sticks that had already fallen on the ground. Working on whittling My girls are 8 and 7 and love to work with knifes. Their Dad teaches them proper safety with knives and how to be safe. They got all the old bark off the wood so it was nice and smooth. We used extra yarn to wrap around the sticks to make them beautifulI tied a simple knot at the top and wrapped around and around as tight as I could and ended with a simple knot at the end. This is such a fun activity! Go on a nature walk and create something beautiful for your home. I am ..read more

My kids love to leave gifts on peoples doorsteps and run. So we decided to give a few friends a surprise Egg hunt. We grabbed plastic eggs from our collections of egg hunts past. Bought a big bag of Candy and filled the eggs. So much fun filling eggs My husband saves egg cartons so we have a ton, but I don’t think you have to have one. Just put the note on someone’s door or leave a bucket or whatever you have on hand. We are in quarantine anyway so no unnecessary trips to the store. With one big bag of candy, we filled up six, eighteen count egg cartons. FREE IMAGEDownload HERE IS ANOTHER V ..read more
