It was hard to know what path to take as the new year approaches. Society teaches us to work hard, make goals, strive to be better people. However, the pressure can get to be too much and in times like these (a pandemic), the secret antidote may be learning to give ourselves grace and take…
Staycation: The Maven Hotel
There is nothing like being in the midst of it all in Downtown Denver, and The Maven Hotel will get you on the map. Located on Denver’s Dairy Block, a block from Coors Field & McGregor Square, a couple of blocks from Union Station, and hovering right above the well-known Milk Market, The Maven Hotel…
Staycation: The Brown Palace
The Brown Palace is an amazing Historic Colorado landmark and a magical place to be. I first visited “The Brown” when I was a little girl, attending tea each year as my birthday and Christmas approached. Attending tea as a little girl makes you feel like royalty, and since then I have always looked at…
Staycation: Kimpton Hotel Monaco
Charming is the first word that comes to mind when I think about the Kimpton Hotel Monaco. From the moment you walk in you feel a sense of ease like you have just escaped to the East Coast for a bit of a reprieve. The lobby isn’t overly extravagant but superbly elegant, which lends to…
Puppy Love
This is probably the weirdest blog post I will ever write but it’s a true love story, so I will go ahead and share. A little bit of back story on my childhood with pets. When my mom married my stepdad, I was in 2nd grade and he already had a cat. The cat’s name…
Staycation: The Golden Hotel
Golden, Colorado… a treasure trove when it comes to fun day trips. There is so much to do here and it is just minutes outside of the city. It is often overlooked as it is on the way to more sought-after places, but I encourage you to take a hard right as you approach the…
Encouragement for the Jobless
With the Coronvirus making daily changes to our lives, every bit of comfort seems to be going right out the window. This is especially true if you were one of many people who lost their job in the last couple of weeks. Though I definitely don’t know fully how it feels to have that uncertainty…
Staycation: Hotel Boulderado
There is nothing like getting away for a weekend. I often talk about wandering out into the hills (mountains) of Colorado for some respite. Alas, that is not the only place worth venturing. One of my favorite places to get some me-time is in the lovely little city of Boulder, CO. There is SO much…
Staycation: The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa
As a Colorado resident, what can be better than a staycation in the Colorado Rockies? We have a wonderful city, busting with events and things to do. Denver is the place people thrive. However, when the weekend comes, it is nice to take a short drive into the hills and get away from it all…
A Very Merry Dairy Block Day
You may have heard of the Dairy Block. It is one of the newer hot spots in Downtown Denver, located just blocks away from Coors Field and Union Station. It is right in the center of everything you want to experience Downtown, and there is something for everyone. This block is full of restaurants, shopping…
