I started a new series on my social media accounts called #TravelTipThursday where every other Thursday I ask folks where they are headed off to next, so that I can then send recommendations their way!
Several people reached out and told me that they would be heading to Denver soon so this post is a direct response to that! Check out my favorite things to eat, see, and do in Denver (and the surrounding areas). Enjoy!

Every once in a while, I think it’s helpful to step back and reflect on life. Recently I’ve been reflecting on who I have surrounding me and I realized that a very important part of my life is this blog and the small (but mighty) community that we’ve built together. With every comment or message that I receive from those in this space, I feel like I get to know each person on a deeper level.
I believe this should be a two-way street so to help bridge that gap, I’ve decided to share 10 enthusiastic facts about myself so that we can get better acquainted. Let me know if you have any burning questions for me! Check out my About section to learn even more and to also learn more about the blog!

2019 was an amazing year. Just like every other year, I started the year by writing down 12 bucket list items that I wanted to cross off. This year, I managed to cross off 2 of the 12 items, which I count as a win because any progress is still progress.
I’ll be writing a 2020 version because choosing 12 bucket list items for the year definitely pushed me to accomplish those goals, and I encourage you to do the same! Enjoy my favorite 22 bucket list items from 2019 listed in the order that they happened!
The items in this post with an asterisk (*) are the items that were in my 2019 bucket list goal list, the rest of the items were not necessarily planned but ended up happening because life is too short to not be spontaneous!

I cannot believe that 2019 is almost over, it seriously just flew by. Last year in 2018 I traveled so much and it was amazing, so of course I continued with my travels this year! This year, I was able to cross a new country off of my list and see more of the beautiful United States!
Every year, I take some time to reflect on how that year went; and this year I will continue the tradition of rounding up one photo per trip to hopefully inspire you to travel a little more! Enjoy!
