I know the majority of my readers aren’t anywhere close to Boise, geographically, so I’ll keep this brief, but I thought I would see if anyone living close by might be interested. I am participating in an art show put on by RAW, which supports artists in all types of mediums from performance art,…

I hope everyone had a wonderful (but maybe not too crazy) night last night. Now that we’ve all rung in the New Year, it’s time for some reflection on last year and the year ahead. In a way, I’m not sad to see the back of 2015. It’s been an intense and fairly stressful year.…

My Nana sent me a picture of a Christmas tree formed entirely from the contents of someone’s library. Naturally, I had to make one myself. I even have some advice for you if you want to make your own. I wasn’t planning on having a Christmas tree. We usually celebrate the holiday with my parents,…

Thank you to BooksaRica for nominating me for this book tag! I think this one looks like a lot of fun, so we’ll just hop to it. Books with Titles that Begin with Each of Your Initials I took all of these from my Goodreads TBR (which at 425 books is unnaturally long, I know) A …

As a companion to the post I did yesterday, I thought I’d share some Halloween appropriate movies for the less horror-inclined. There are many to choose from, but to narrow it down, I choose only fairy-tale adaptations. However, I have lots of suggestions, so I’ll have to do another one (maybe a musical post?) next…

When the love of your life tells you they’ve never been to a state fair before, you simply MUST take them. I wasn’t sure how long the fair was going on (as it started before we got back from our trip to the Caribbean), but when we looked it up and saw it was running…

Community theater is an amazing thing. I absolutely love watching live theater and I also love Shakespeare, so I was definitely sold on the whole watch-Shakespeare-in-summer thing. Every in Boise there is the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. They were (and are, it’s still going) doing some great plays, but nothing that really stood out to me,…

There’s something magical about a garden tucked away in a city. Gardens are places of contemplation and beauty, places that feel slightly apart from time and yet when you’re there you feel connected. I’ve always loved beautiful gardens, so when I found the Idaho Botanical Garden on my birthday, it became one of my favorite…

This year I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday twice, and for both celebrations I was able to visit a beautiful garden. I’ll be doing a post on the other garden, the Idaho Botanical Garden, next week. Located just off Reed college’s campus, the Crystal Rhododendron Garden drives home the fact that the Willamette…

Just a few minutes outside of Boise, you’ll find the Old State Penitentiary and the Idaho Botanical Garden, behind which you’ll find trails that lead up to Table Rock, which at around 3200 feet offers amazing views of the city and a wonderful hike. Paul and I went up there this weekend with one of…
