We had tons of fun making a snow volcano the other day. We've never made a volcano before and I knew P would love it. We took a plastic cup and built up snow around it to (somewhat) resemble a volcano. Then he poured in some baking soda and a lot of food coloring. Last, he poured vinegar into the baking soda and VIOLA, a live volcano :) We ran out of vinegar pretty quickly, but I bet this would be cool if you used different colors. He then proceeded to smash the volcano with his boots, because...

Revitalift Volume Filler Night Cream Revitalift Daily Volumizing Concentrated Serum Revitalift Daily Volumizing Moisturizer Revitalift Volume Filler Eye Treatment You know what I love? Free stuff. I love free full sized products a lot. And I especially love Influenster for sending me free stuff, and this time, I gotta thank L'OREAL as well. I've been using these for a couple weeks now, and they are awesome. So awesome. My face feels like it has more volume, if that makes sense. It feels tighter and firmer. And the way this stuff smells?? FREAKING AMAZING. Most of the time I...

This kid. I figured I'd do an update on Porter since its been a long time since I've done that. He's growing so quickly, as I'm sure all of you with kids can understand.

And his school makes all of their food there, homemade, which has been great for him while...

What a great day! Broncos are Superbowl 50 bound! Woohoooo! There have been so many fireworks going off all over the place (I live a mile from the stadium), and people yelling everywhere.

Back to work tomorrow. It's so nice having every weekend...

A week or so ago, we spent a couple hours exploring Red Rocks Amptiheather. I love that we live so close to so many amazing places. This place holds so many memories for me, and I love to be there. Porter loves it too, and i'm so glad he appreciates it. We walk sooo many stairs while we're there, but it's so worth it. Especially the view of Denver from the top. And standing on a stage where so many amazing musicians have played...it's an indescribable feeling. Music has been a lifesaver for me in the last few...
