in the kitchen.

Today I discovered that it only takes 4 easy steps to make one delicious summer treat and so 
I made...







1. My choice of fruit: 1 large banana; 1/2 cup of blueberries; 1 cup of strawberries
2. Add 1 cup of ice before adding 1 1/2 cups of vanilla ice cream
3. Add fruit and lastly 1/2 cup skim milk
4. Turn it into pink bubbly yumminess. 




It was a very low key day for N and I - and HALLELUJAH we even had rain almost all afternoon. Our summer schedule has been pretty non stop with camping trips, school, work, and the occasional day of cleaning, laundry, errands... that we gave ourselves a well deserved day off from all of it.
Because however, we were in desperate need for groceries, I slipped into my go to outfit for this summer of maxi skirt, tank + sandals and headed to sunflower market to stock our fridge with fresh goodies! (Hence my smoothie inspiration for today) I have to admit to you guys that if I ran into myself in public today, I probably would've wanted to smack myself..but it was a day of "I don't care" - today while making my grocery trip I wore my ear buds and jammed to my own tunes the entire time! Usually I can't stand when people do something like that, shop with their headphones, but I was in a mood and I ain't gonna lie the seclusion felt aaawesome! Sometimes, ye just don't wanna talk to anyone. And today was that day. I do have to make a point to ad that I only took my public rudeness so far - I removed them completely before heading to the register. Talking on your phone or having headphones in at a register  - absolutely not cool.

Tomorrow I say Hola Monday! as my work week begins and the daily life goes on. In the meantime we are checking the news every couple hours for fire updates and praying the weather reports forecast more rain! Colorado is one big fiery mess and it's very sad to watch thousands of people lose their homes and beautiful countryside burn to ash. Counting our blessings,

So, it's Monday...

... yet again

The weekend was pretty perfect. Lazy couch time, extreme weather adventures, amazing brunch dates, and afternoon strolls made for some amazing summertime days. All last week, I had a hard time catching up with my day to day rhythm once we got back from our long weekend camping, during which we celebrated my 25th birthdaaay! It was fun reliving our vacation on Saturday, which was lazy for me while N had some work to do in Denver and I was sort of sickly on the couch, browsing through the endless amount of [neglected] pictures that had found themselves onto my camera over the past few weeks. 





What else would find its way onto my memory card but sunshine walk snapshots? 




Fort Collins is moving. 


my very best friend


brunch at Lucille's. greatest buttermilk biscuits on the planet. 


 I'll have more to share with you from the weekend and {the fishing trip i turned 25 became a fishing girl} and some amazing pictures from the very scary Fort Collins High Park fire this week. For now have yourselves a good Monday!

Love note to the natives.

Dear Coloradoans, 


we must clarify once and for all...it is


 "going/coming up to Fort Collins", 


"going/coming down Denver" that goes for Broomfield, Thornton, Westminster..ye catch my drift? , 


and therefore it also 


"going/ coming down to Colorado Springs" . 


Now find yourself a map, memorize, or don't travel anywhere, but get. it. right. 


Love, Jess
