I’m not sure how many of you feel this way, but this girl is having a hard time saying goodbye to summer. It’s like I blinked and all of the sudden it’s gone. This summer was definitely one for the books, with thousands of miles logged, countless scoops of ice cream consumed and beautiful snapshots […]

Guess what. Somebody just had a birthday…a birthday where they turned 29 years old. Now I realize that 29 is not “old,” but I almost can’t believe how quickly time has flown. It seems like just yesterday that I had messy hair, was missing my two front teeth and the highlight of my day was […]

This girl spend her Wednesday in Glacier National Park driving the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The best part? Hmmm…I’m not sure if it was the nice gate lady at West Glacier (happy and friendly–a great way to start a day in the park), cruising 50 miles through the heart of Glacier with the window down, admiring the […]

This year, the guide is 110 pages and is literally filled with tons of information and some incredible photos. (And while I realize I may be partial, I really am telling the truth…girl scout’s honor).

*This week’s blog isn’t really about an event or specific experience. Instead, it’s just me telling you a story. Don’t worry, we’ll get back to business next week.* I’m a true, blue, through and through Montana girl. I was raised on the Rocky Mountain Front or as many like to refer to it: the east […]

We all know it’s coming. Same day, every year. And it doesn’t really come quietly either – it comes with red and pink hearts, boxes of chocolates, jewelry commercials, red roses and of course, lots of love, hugs and kisses. To which I say, heck yes. Because love (whether in the form of one great […]
