Summer Road Trip Snacks

Summer is road trip season. Visiting family, taking kids to camp, and our summer vacation keeps us on the road much of the summer. Traveling with four children requires thoughtful planning, especially in the snack department.

The journey begins, or continues. . .

I hate goodbyes. Who doesn’t? But I really, really hate leaving our happy place at the YMCA of the Rockies. Ask the Littles. At the end of the summer, when it’s time for us to pack up and head home, I cry. Not the big, ugly cry, just a weepy I dontwannaleave cry. I sound like a broken record leading…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
