The Traver family has jointly and carefully curated one of the most epic road trip playlists known to man. The even bigger accomplishment is that we all love it. It started last summer when we were in Montana. Brett had his phone plugged into the...
On a recent Saturday, I went with several of my knitting friends to a fiber festival about 90 minutes from where we live. What is a fibers festival, you ask? It’s a lot of damn yarn. Too much to possibly wrap your head around. I gave myself a budget...
Most days spent with my daughter are good. We enjoy each other’s company. We Never seem to run out of things to talk about. And, oh, how we laugh. Thank God she picked up our sense of humor. I don’t know what I would do if our girl weren’t funny...
