As a huge supporter of the Arts in Steamboat, I'm disappointed to say that I can't find one area (that's up to date) that lists ALL of the openings for this month's first Friday artwalk. There are amazing galleries in our little town and the First Friday Artwalk is my favorite monthly gathering of art patrons and artists. So I'll just throw in a few highlights for tonight and my apologies to the many other participants who aren't included in this post. I'm going to make a point to make sure that I'm able to get all of the information... Continue reading

What better way to treat your feet (and play along with the "stocking" theme) than to get someone you love (or like A LOT) the... Continue reading

So the weather has turned a little fallish. Our Indian summer seems to be over and winter is not quite in full swing just yet. What better time to hone your culinary skills at home while disguising vegetables in your kids' dinner? A few weeks ago, my husband, Matt, and our friend, Drew got inspired to make some at home sushi. Catherine, Jacey & I were the lucky recipients of this all day feast. Matt & Drew got all of the supplies they needed for "sushi at home" in downtown Steamboat. Matt picked up his new favorite toy - a... Continue reading

I am soooooooo excited about Ann B. Murphy's show at the Steamboat Springs Arts Council Depot front gallery.
