Traveling always reminds me how different people live — the unfamiliar foods, the odd customs, the tiny social rules you only notice after you’ve already broken them like a clueless little tourist. Cultural quirks that leave me delightfully confused or wishing I could pack them up and bring it home with me.

Travel fills my soul. It also makes me realize how wonderful my own little life is.

Colorado, I missed you.
I missed my dog, my bed, my friends, my plants, and large cups of coffee.

It feels so good to be back in my cozy corner of the world.

Our quick stop in Iceland was lovely.
We got to explore Reykjavík a little and spent a day at Sky Lagoon. The hot spring was magical. Loved the seven-step ritual, Skjól: soaking, cold plunge, sauna, cool mist, salt scrub, steam room, and crowberry juice. ​
Iceland gave us a dramatic goodbye with a mini blizzard! Luckily, the road to the airport opened in time for us to catch our flight home which was so quiet and empty, it felt like a private jet.
The cherry on top of a truly splendid trip.

Mother Nature is out here playing Super Troopers with the thermostat and I’m definitely not loving it right meow 🥶

Someone got a bath!
Willow is actually cool with it… as long as the treat tax is paid immediately after.

Honestly fair —I’d handle life way better if there were guaranteed snacks after every inconvenience.

Does your dog love baths or act personally victimized?

Not finished. Not perfect. Still posting it.

Castle Pot 2.0 is deep in that chaotic middle stage — where the vision is clear but the finish line feels suspiciously far away.

Creators know the vibe: close enough to taste it, scared to rush it, slightly haunted by the possibility of wrecking all that progress 😅
But layer by layer… it’s starting to slip into that magic zone 🏰

Last night was EPIC!
We hit up the Yellowcard & A Day to Remember concert, and let me tell you—it was everything I could’ve hoped for and more! The highlight? I CROWD SURFED! 🤘

Those are my feet up in the air—living my absolute best life! It felt DAMN cool. There's something incredible about trusting the crowd to catch you.

A massive shoutout to all the kind strangers who made it happen. It's exhilaratingly to trust the strength and energy of complete strangers. Wildly rewarding experience

Nice, chill weekend. Hike at Red Rock Canyon and then vegged out on the couch and watched old movies 🎬

Happy crag dog 🥹 I love that Willow is always excited to go on an adventure. We got to check out a cool new area, and tried 5.10c outside!
