I took the gourds out of the basket and now we have a new centerpiece.

From Longmont. The coyotes were excited about them too!

The first time in my life ever seeing the aurora! The coyotes were going crazy too. So cool!

Tiny kaitenzushi shop. I’m particularly happy with this one.

We know we have nice, store bought beds, but bags are best.

My oldest child marching in the Boulder County Fair Parade with their new friends from the Northern Arapaho Tribe and Chino, Japan. Last night, we had the Arapaho to our house and the kids danced for hours on our porch together, while FaceTiming the Japanese kids. This is how peace is made.

Fantasy themed tiny house.

When you you want to take your kids to a castle in Okinawa, finally get there, and find out that the castle FELL DOWN, but they put this building over it with this painting on it.

“This castle you would have been seeing today…”

It was unexpected.

Tadaima! I’m so happy to be back in my second home.

Tiny chocolate shop

This year, Kiki recommends Samoas. Delivered local in in the Longmont/Boulder area, shipped anywhere. Donations go to the Longmont Humane society.

My coworker left this on my desk because she “knew my child and I were having a rough time” and wanted us to know she was with us. It’s things like this that keep us going when it feels like the world will crush us.

Tiny bookstore. It’s hard to see all the details on this one because it’s so small, but all of the books have different covers. There are several hundred. I really love how this one turned out.

My mom’s turkey didn’t defrost; thus, Thanksgiving ham.

These two make it hard to go to work when it’s snowy.

My newest tiny house. It’s a sushi restaurant. Makes me homesick for Japan!
