So I have to tell you guys all about the most amazing place I found when I was in Phoenix. called Mexican Arts Imports. First though, I need to tell you why it was so amazing.

Everything from plant new flowers in our front porch pots to painting the house to replacing our entire outdoor drainage field. EVERYTHING went on this list. This means that whenever we have ...

So far I've shared with you all sorts of things about our trip to Denver a while back (Rocky Mountain National Park and Food), except the whole reason for our trip!

Explore Denver: Rocky Mountain National Park
One of my most favorite things to do is head out into the great outdoors and find an adventure. I'm lucky enough to have a husband who supports this passion so we headed down to Denver, Colorado this month to celebrate our anniversary and explore Rocky Mountain National Park! Getting There First thing to note, is that Rocky Mountain National Park is not actually in Denver. It's a quick 1 1/2 hour drive northwest of the city, however the drive is beautiful and the traffic non-existent. We ... Read the Post

I tried to snap a picture or two of each place we went and I'll do my best to give you my real opinion on what we got!

It was just scratch made, ... Read the Post
Tuna and Rice Salad
Maybe I've mentioned before that my husband works for a seafood processing facility. I probably also told you that this means we have an abundance of seafood most of the time. Well, last year, he finally fixed up the cannery at work and we have been enjoying the benefits of fresh caught, fresh canned tuna ever since! Trying to figure out new and different things to do with all this tuna has been both fun and delicious. A few months ago I shared a really yummy recipe for Greek rice salad, ... Read the Post

I am a huge lover of all things Airbnb, and Mount Rainier is full of lovely places to stay and play. The snow had been ... Read the Post
