Waking up in a cozy Aurora Treehouse at (hosted) felt like something out of a dream.

✨ Nestled among the Arctic evergreens, this treetop cabin was the perfect retreat—comfy king bed, floor-to-ceiling window for Northern Lights views, and pure Lapland magic. ❄️💫

After a night of aurora chasing, we warmed up in Aito’s incredible spa & sauna with heated pools and steaming hot tubs, then refueled with traditional Lappish cuisine at the onsite restaurant (reindeer, anyone? 🦌🍽️).

With so many adventures right at our doorstep—hiking, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and more—this is hands down one of the most unforgettable stays we’ve ever had.

Here’s what you need to know:

The Trump administration cut 3,400 Forest Service jobs & 2,300 Interior Dept. positions—including 1,000 in the National Park Service. These workers maintain our trails, campgrounds, and wildfire prevention efforts. Less staff means more closed trails, fewer maintained campsites, and no one to clean facilities. 🚨This is a step toward dismantling public lands for privatization.

I could have missed the pain, but I’d have had to miss the dance ❤️

Grief is a hard thing to feel, but I’ve learned it is necessary. We can’t escape it, and if we try to run from it, it will catch up. Grief WANTS to be with us when we experience loss. It’s there try protect us, even if it doesn’t feel that way.

So when I’m feeling the pangs of grief I remember my mom’s words, one of many lessons she taught me. In order to experience true joy, we have to experience true pain. And the joy of being her daughter will always, always, outweigh the hurt of losing her.

If you agree, you’re our kind of people 🙌

Time and again we find that nothing is more healing than the cool earth under our feet, the warmth of the sun above, the shade of the trees, and the humbling power of the mountains.

Even bad days are made better outside ❤️

We’re currently off on our next adventure to explore the outdoors some place we’ve NEVER been before! It should be really, really cool (like very cool 🥶). Any guesses where?

🤯Did you know over 150 hot air balloons fly over Cappadocia, Turkiye EVERY morning? 👉Here’s how to see them.

🎈As long as the weather permits, every morning in Cappadocia starts with this magical display of hot air balloons.

The daily tradition started in the 1980s when enterprising tour operators saw the potential of the activity to draw in tourism to see the otherwordly rock formations called Fairy Chimneys.

Here are four ways you can experience hot air balloons in Cappadocia!

1️⃣ Watch the balloons take off from Ballon Point, elevated above the town of Goreme, surrounded by rock formations, and close to the launch point! (Pics 1-3)
2️⃣ Take a hot air balloon ride! We rode with . Rides last about an hour. Getting to float in a balloon amongst the other balloons is the BEST way to experience Cappadocia’s magic. (Pics 4-8)
3️⃣ Watch the balloons from a hotel rooftop in Goreme! Aza Cave hotel (pictured) and Sultan Cave Suites are two Insta-famous choices. (Pics 9-10)
4️⃣ Book a sunrise breakfast tour overlooking Love Valley and watch the balloons float past while you drink tea, eat cheese, and feel the first rays of sun crest over the fairy chimneys.

Would you go to Cappadocia just to experience the hot air balloons?

🌅We hiked to a fire lookout tower for the first time this weekend!

Watching the sunrise during this hike was the perfect way to start a Saturday morning 🤩

💚Always practice leave no trace when enjoying the outdoors. Pack out your trash (including your dog 💩), don’t carve or damage any part of the trail (manmade or not), and be respectful of other hikers.

📍Devil’s Head Lookout
🌲Pike National Forest
🥾2.8 miles
📈866 feet of elevation gain

👉Just over an hour from Denver, the Devil’s Head Fire Lookout Tower is one of the most unique day hikes we’ve done in Colorado. The trail is relatively short with a steady incline the entire way, making it a manageable challenge. There are several picnic tables along the way if you want to stop for a break or to just enjoy the views.

‼️Tip: If you go on a chilly day or for sunrise when it’s still cold out like we did, bring a pair of gloves to make holding onto the metal railings more comfortable on your way up!

Shoutout to for posting about this hike last week and reminding me that I have had it pinned on my map for years. 🙌
