K: This is our last post from Denver and with the sweltering temperatures here in Texas, we sure wish that we could return to Colorado! These photos are from an afternoon walk in downtown Denver but Brandon and I thought it would be fun to share three things that we always try to do when we're traveling. Not only do these tips ensure a better trip, but it ensures that you're going to be stress-free and that you'll remember the happy moments from your travels. 1. Pick Purposeful ... View the Post
Fall Reading List: Thriller Edition
During the summer, I posted my reading list here and many of you welcomed the suggestions! As an English teacher, I'm always looking for something to read in the evenings and during my time off.

5 Products We’re Loving

Each product smells amazing and leaves us with soft, hydrated skin. I think ... View the Post
Reflections on Being a Teacher + My Classroom

Decor is really important to me, despite teaching at the high school level and I still want my students to feel welcomed and at home in my room.
