Coffee Date: Super Moon

If we sat down today over coffee, I would tell you about last Saturday. After the kids birthday party, we decided to drive up to Fountain Hills and look at the Super Moon. We were going to head to the Lost Dog Trail, but we were worried we wouldn't make it in time, so...

Cue the Quail People…

I wish I could get closer to these crazy birds for you. Gambel Quail. They are the silliest birds I have ever met. They run. They refuse to fly even if you practically drive over them. I'll try and get closer for you, ok? Have a great day! Kate

Can I show you the yellow trees?

I hope your day is a jump high... Silly Smiles... Turn around kind of day! We took a walk a few weeks ago to the neighborhood green space.  {Yes, in the desert, there is so little green, they call them green spaces}. Julia pointed out this awesome tree growing...

Winter Housewarming

Winter Housewarming. I had a few friends over to celebrate all the boxes finally being unpacked. I stopped worrying about how clean the house was and how perfect the food was and just decided to enjoy friends and the house being full of kids and laughter. I highly...
