This year my family masked up and headed to Fulk Farms to pick out our Christmas trees! Kaldi joined us and we loved walking though all the trees. Dale and I finally picked a tree that was the right size for our living room (not too small this year!) and I love how people driving down our street can see it through the front window. Have you decorated for Christmas yet?
Fall Leaves
We are having a pretty beautiful Fall/start to Winter here in Kansas City! I took a quick walk around my yard to capture some of the YELLOW leaves on my neighbor’s tree and was just in time because the next day they were gone. Feeling grateful for the change in season and all the colorful views!

September Around The Web
Hello, friends! Fall is upon us and September is already coming to a close. The most exciting part of the month was our trip to Colorado but we also enjoyed our new backyard projector to watch movies with friends, celebrated Dale’s mom’s birthday, and watched my sister’s puppy Kaldi during her engagement photos! Here are a few of my favorite finds around the web this month:
Not only does Krystal always take beautiful photos, I can’t wait to dive into some of her documentary recommendations!
Lovely Micro wedding inspiration
Really fun seeing this living room transformation
Great tips to reduce waste
Have you ever bought antiques from an auction?
Considering purchasing these after watching The Home Edit’s new Netflix show!
My mom tried this cookie recipe and I had to share, so delicious!
Some fun Fall outfit inspiration!
Hoping to try this recipe next month.
Hello, Fall!
Ptarmigan Lake Trail
Our trip went way too fast and our last day arrived before we knew it! Dale’s number one request was that we hike up to Ptarmigan Lake, and while it was a little longer of a hike than anticipated the view at the top was spectacular. I’ve never been to Colorado in the Fall and really loved getting to see the start of fall with the orange and red ground cover and yellow trees. I’m more grateful than ever that we had a chance to get on the road and visit somewhere new. None of my travel plans went as expected this year but it was SO nice to have the smallest bit of normalcy with a road trip. I hope you all are staying safe and have some adventures of your own (even at home!) planned for this Fall!
Buena Vista, Colorado
We spent the last half of our trip in Buena Vista, Colorado! Dale had been once before and I was really excited to spend a few days hiking and enjoying the hot springs. We arrived right after the sand dunes and immediately went in search of dinner before spending the evening relaxing at our apartment. We ate at Eddyline Brewery a couple times during our stay as well as at the beautiful Surf Hotel. I’m grateful there were a couple great outdoor dining options in town!
Our first full day in town was spent sleeping in, visiting the Mount Princeton Hot Springs, and driving through Cottonwood Pass. We were able to plan out our hikes for our last full day and truly relax, it was the best.
