The In-Between

Here, I’m blogging from the in-between: Rockies & Heartland, tech & trees, my modern life & rustic heart.

We Are SO BACK Baby

Somewhere around the time I became pregnant with Baby Dawes, the Life Rustic blog faded out of existence… I’d let the domain lapse, somebody quickly bought the site, and it would’ve been expensive to get it back.

A lot has happened since the last time I was consistently updating the Life Rustic blog… But, to summarize: We made our way back to Colorado, spent about a year in Colorado Springs, and eventually ventured down to our land in Alamosa.

A Few Things in The New Year

I’ve never really been into making New Year’s resolutions. However, I have set some goals for the coming year. But rather than frame them as stuffy and formal RESOLUTIONS, I’d like to think of them as areas that I simply want to be better at. So, here are a few things I’m working on in the new year.
