SharePart of Perfect Moment Mondays… I could hear her singing from her room. Thankful she wasn’t begging me back in, I settled in to my first night of self-indulgence in weeks – five recorded episodes of Glee. Not long after, the singing turned to whimpers. The whimpers to tears. “What’s wrong, Sweetpea?” “I wanna watch [...]

ShareWARNING: This post contains graphic content which may not be suitable for those with weak stomachs. There is an expression, the nicer version of which is “stuff happens,” that could’ve been the theme for what began as a fantastic evening in Grand Lake, Colorado.

ShareWe are so fortunate as to have so much beauty right here in our backyard. Our recent 4-day weekend in Colorado Springs wouldn’t have been complete without a visit to 5-star hotel, The Broadmoor, home of the 2011 Women’s U.S. Open.

The morning started with the competitors getting their game faces on. Followed by some bubble action to prepare for their slippery competition. Once they were off, [...]

SharePart of Perfect Moment Mondays… Had it been me that was asked to pose for this photo at age three, I would’ve run screaming the other way. But, the cross-eyed, pinched-face bunny with the psychedelic vest had become Reagan’s best friend on this day. Just look at all the loot he left for her to [...]

SharePart of Perfect Moment Mondays… Among perfect moments, none is more perfect than those we spend with friends. So, on Saturday when we had the chance to spend the morning with our girlfriends at the Denver Children’s Museum, we were all about it.
