Mesa Verde National Park in a day
Mesa Verde National Park is such a unique destination full of history! Mesa Verde National Park isn’t really a hiking or adventure park, it’s more about educating yourself on the history of the pueblo people. I remember learning about the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings in high school and they just fascinated me! I’m not normally interested in history but I do like to imagine how people lived during those times. If you’re in the area, then you have to stop by for a few hours to check them out!!

Kayak Antelope Canyon
We had to kayak into Antelope Canyon because of COVID protocols but now that I’ve done it I have to tell you it’s definitely the way to go! The Antelope Canyon hiking tours are very crowded and they’re your typical “tourist trap”. You can kayak Antelope Canyon at your own pace, potentially have the place all to yourself, and see some amazing views along Lake Powell. I can’t imagine doing one of the paid walking tours now that we’ve kayaked it on our own.

Blanco State Park
Escape to the Texas Hill Country and spend a day at Blanco State Park. Blanco State Park is the perfect day trip during the summer months where you can enjoy swimming and fishing along the Blanco River. Blanco State Park is actually a fairly small state park but if you live in the area it’s definitely worth checking out.

1 Day in Page Arizona While you could easily spend multiple days in Page Arizona, the reality is we don’t all have that much free time. Yes I’m certain we’d all love to be full time travel bloggers or retired living out of an RV 6 months of the year but that’s just not my…

PVC Pipe Garden Cover
I’ve definitely learned a lot about gardening this past year!! The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that there are 500 things that can go wrong in a garden. One of my biggest battles is with the birds and squirrels eating all of my yummy treats! My second biggest battle is with the intense Texas sun and my third greatest battle is with the random snowfall we get in Texas. To solve all of these issues, I’ve invested in a DIY PVC Pipe Garden Cover. The DIY PVC Pipe Garden Cover will be used as a frame for which I’ll use to cover with different material. In the spring I’ll use bird netting, in the summer I’ll use a shade tarp, and in the winter I’ll use a tarp for frost protections.

Raise Kitchen Cabinets
During our DIY Kitchen Remodel, we decided to raise our ceiling and install ceiling height cabinets. Ceiling height cabinets are cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling, meaning they don’t leave a gap between the cabinets and ceiling. I absolutely love ceiling height cabinets! They provide you with more storage, require less cleaning, and make your kitchen look more cohesive. Some people complain that you can’t easily reach the top shelf, but that’s fine with me. I put things I don’t use on a regular basis on the top shelf, like Christmas cookie cutters and my china collection.
