This past weekend we headed north to cooler temperatures and lots of lovely green to go forest camping. We were hoping to camp at a certain site where we had camped before, but when we found it, we discovered that the previous campers at the site had buried all of their trash and it had been uncovered by animals. Propane tanks, dirty diapers, and styrofoam plates (to name a few things) were scattered all over. It was so disheartening to […]

We “Dyed” it!

Sometimes you need a workout buddy to be motivated to stay on track, and sometimes you need an “Easter egg dying buddy” to attempt something you’ve really been wanting to do, but need that little extra push to make it happen…. like trying all natural dyes for easter eggs. My friend Colleen and I were both wanting to try this, but honestly, it probably wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t a collaborative effort. We were so thrilled with the result: […]

Halloween in the Desert

Fall in the desert may be very different, but it is still beautiful. The best part is that October usually marks a transition to cooler temperatures, although my kids were just swimming in a non-heated pool the other day! We are surrounding by amazing friends and Halloween celebrations, and that’s […]

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the Strength to Survive

This blog post is very near and dear to my heart. It is about Chronic Fatigue syndrome (CFS) and the lovely lady in these pictures is my best friend from high school. Her decade-plus long struggle with CFS is completely heart breaking. Not only is it debilitating, but very misunderstood and because of that she has lost friendships to those who were once very close. This spunky, strong, and idealistic girl and I were two peas in a pod in […]
