The Denver Lark

Heading out of town to be with family over the holidays? Sending gifts across the country? Here’s a list of some great places to snag ‘Colorado’ gifts for your friends and family. Show off your hometown and the great Rockies with some unique gifts from a few of my favorite shops! The Savory Spice Shop…

I recently took an Intro to Crochet class at Fabric Bliss. I was honored to write a guest post for Kristina on her sewing blog, The Nerdy Sewist. Aurora (owner) is incredibly welcoming and the shop feels like home. I don’t know if it’s the set-up, the colors, or the attitude of the workers but…

This weekend we headed downtown Denver to the Eye Heart Brains Zombie Crawl. This is an annual event and free to participate. This year there was also a scavenger hunt beforehand, but the crawl started at Skyline Park (16th and Arapahoe) around 2-4 PM. The zombies started to congregate around 2 PM and about 4…

Komen Tri for the Cure. This event was held on Sunday, August 7th at the Cherry Creek State Park. The weather couldn’t have…

It was finally time for a day trip up to Boulder, Colorado. Just about 30 minutes from Denver, it’s a nice way to “get-away” without going too far. By no means is this a comprehensive review of all to do in Boulder. Oh no! Oh my…that would day several posts (ideas are churning…). I’ll throw…
