Today I get to celebrate one of my very favorite people; my grandpa, who turns 95 years young!

He’s an Air Force veteran, a world traveler, an incredible storyteller, and quite possibly the sharpest 95-year-old you’ll ever meet. His memory never ceases to amaze me. He can tell you stories from his travels while serving in the Air Force, remember people and places from decades ago, and describe an Aurora that looked very different from the one we know today.

He remembers businesses that have come and gone, places everyone used to visit, how different parts of the city have changed, and countless little details about Colorado over the years. I could sit and listen to his stories for hours.

But of all the things he’s done, all the places he’s been, and all the stories he has to tell, I’m most grateful that I simply get to call him Grandpa.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa. Thank you for the stories, the laughs, the love, and 95 years of being one pretty incredible human. ❤️🇺🇸

And for the record… this age looks pretty darn good on you!

Not every long weekend needs a packed itinerary.

Sometimes staying home is the plan.

🔥 Fire up the grill
🍹 Make your favorite patio drink
📖 Start a book outside
🎬 Have a backyard movie night
😴 Sleep in with absolutely nowhere to be

Colorado gives us plenty of reasons to get out and explore, but there’s something pretty great about having a home you actually want to stay home in, too.

What does your perfect stay-at-home long weekend look like?

September is here, which means we’ve officially made it to the “BER” months! 🍂

There’s just something about this stretch of the year that makes me appreciate home a little more; open windows and changing leaves, pumpkins on the porch, gathering around the table, and eventually those first snowy Colorado nights.

And because I can never resist a beautiful house, I had to give each month its own personality:

🍁 September: a cozy Craftsman
🎃 October: a slightly spooky Victorian
🦃 November: a warm Tudor
❄️ December: a snow-covered mountain cabin

I’m not quite ready to rush through September yet, but I’m very ready for everything these next few months bring!

Which “BER” month (or house) are you choosing?

Moving across town… or across the country?

A move doesn’t always stay within one zip code; and you don’t have to figure out every piece of it alone.

Whether you’re moving somewhere nearby or relocating out of Colorado, I can help with the real estate side of the transition and connect you with trusted professionals when your move takes you outside my local market.

Sometimes the first step is simply knowing who to call!

Some homes are open 11 AM–1 PM, so be sure to check the individual times.

You can visit one home or make your way through all seven. Pick up an Open House Passport Book along the way, and if you visit every stop, you’ll be entered to win a $50 Amazon gift card!

I’ll be at one of the homes helping to host, so come say hi and take a look around. 😊

I love fall in Colorado, but I’m not quite ready to rush summer out the door.

There’s still time for Palisade peaches, farmers markets, ice cream stops, patio nights, Colorado sunsets and one more summer adventure (or two).

What’s one thing you still want to squeeze in before summer is over? And if you have a favorite local spot for any of these, tag them below so the rest of us can check them out! 💛

Adonea is one of those Aurora neighborhoods you may not stumble across unless you have a reason to head east; and once you do, there’s quite a bit tucked inside.

Adonea has grown into a thoughtfully planned neighborhood with its own parks, pool, clubhouse, trails and gathering spaces, surrounded by the wide-open landscape that still defines this side of Aurora.

There’s a little more breathing room out here. Much of the neighborhood feels distinctly residential, with places to walk, play and spend time outside woven throughout the community. Summer afternoons can mean time at the pool, evenings bring neighbors out onto the trails, and seasonal events offer plenty of opportunities to gather close to home.

🌿 A Few Things to Know About Adonea:

• Community pool + clubhouse

• Parks, playgrounds + trails throughout the community

• Neighborhood events + seasonal activities

• A variety of home styles and sizes

• Located within Aurora Public Schools

• Convenient access to E-470, I-70 + DIA

• Surrounded by continued growth and development on Aurora’s eastern side

And that last one is worth watching. Eastern Aurora continues to grow, including Tributary, a nearly 1,000-acre community taking shape near I-70 and Harvest Road with plans for new homes, retail, parks, trails and gathering spaces.

Also planned for the area is Tributary Marketplace, a future King Soopers-anchored shopping center at E. 6th Avenue and Harvest Road, along with additional retail space. For a neighborhood that currently feels a little removed from Aurora’s larger shopping areas, those planned additions could bring more everyday conveniences closer to home.

Adonea feels distinctly different from some of Aurora’s more established neighborhoods; and that’s part of what makes it interesting. It offers a little extra breathing room, plenty of ways to enjoy the neighborhood itself, and a front-row seat to a part of Aurora that continues to grow and change.

If you’ve never ventured this far east in Aurora, Adonea might just be a neighborhood worth putting on your radar.

If you’re exploring Adonea or other neighborhoods across Aurora, Parker, or the Denver Metro area, I’m always happy to share insights and help you get to know each community on a deeper level.

Your library card might be one of the most underrated things in your wallet.

From free e-books and learning resources to museum passes, creative spaces and community programs, local libraries offer so much more than books.

Take a look through the slides for a few perks you may not know about and be sure to check your own library system, since services vary by location.

Love Where You Live: Wolf & Honey (Brighton, CO)

Some places instantly feel like a gathering spot; the kind of space where great drinks, good food, and warm atmosphere come together. Wolf & Honey in Brighton is exactly that. With its modern industrial style and welcoming vibe, it’s the kind of coffee shop that makes you want to slow down, settle in, and stay awhile.

Since opening in July 2024, Wolf & Honey has quickly become a local favorite, even earning Small Business of the Year, and it’s easy to see why. Their specialty honey lattes, bold flavor combinations, and signature house‑shaken creamy coconut lemonade bring a fresh twist to classic favorites. And with a full bar, they’ve created a space that transitions seamlessly from morning pick‑me‑ups to afternoon meetups and evening gatherings.

I met my friend Kaylee here for a bite to eat and a coffee, and everything we tried was fantastic. I chose the American Pie Chai, Kaylee had an Iced American Honey Latte, and we also ordered the BLT Croissant and Peach & Prosciutto Toast, both delicious and beautifully crafted. It’s the kind of menu where you’re guaranteed to find something that hits the spot.

Wolf & Honey is more than a coffee shop; it’s a community space. A place where friends catch up, families linger, colleagues meet, and neighbors become regulars. Whether you’re stopping in for a cozy moment alone or gathering with someone you love, it’s a spot that makes everyday life feel a little more special.

Warm drinks, thoughtful flavors, and a space that brings people together — that’s what ‘Love Where You Live’ is all about.
