Sunshine Express & Jeeping in the Snow

By -
Hello lovelies! 

 A few weeks back, Zac and I were looking for some mountain therapy. So naturally we took the Jeep and headed out west.


We got to Idaho Springs, and were in need of some breakfast. Passing all the fast food, we got to the edge of town and there was this little brunch place we decided to try, and I'm glad we did!

 This cute brunch spot is called Sunshine Express of Colorado. They haven't updated their website in a bit, but its definitely worth a stop if you're ever in Idaho Springs! They started out as a food truck!













 I had Biscuits and Maple Sausage Gravy ($4.50) 



Zac had the bacon breakfast burrito! ($4.00)

Both were very good, the bacon was perfectly cooked, they put red salsa into the burrito (most Colorado restaurants use green chili...it's kind of a Colorado staple) and it was awesome. My biscuits and gravy were so good, the added sweetness definitely made it yummy!

We ate these while on the road to the off road trail.



 And of course we had some fun. ;)

When I Said Exciting Things Were Coming...

  Did I mention a cross country move?! Cause we did that.  From the desert, to the ocean. If you followed along with my Instagram or Facebook, then you somewhat know of the challenge it was to get here. (In summary, the Western Slope Curse is a very real thing, lol.) I could give you a day-by-day rundown of what has happened since we arrived, but I will save that for another, better post. In the meantime, just know that things are not at all what we were told  they would be. Its been a lot of feeling like we have been 100% in survival mode.  Aside from the beauty and amazing people here in North Carolina. I could focus on the negative, or I could tell you that Zac has taken the oldest two fishing or just in the canoe every day. I got to see the ocean WITH my kids, and their minds were blown. We've eaten BoJangles, Moe's, and my kids are catching fish for dinner.  I found a super cute (Veteran Owned!) salon, with the sweetest stylist who did a small chop for me t...

  WELL HELLO THERE! Its only been 11 months since I last posted, haha. (12*)  When I tell you A LOT has happened... For starters, let me introduce you to Waylon!  He was my first home-birth, just before Easter, and WOW what an experience!  The last couple of posts were - I'm pregnant! We went to a BBQ restaurant! I'm pregnant again! lol. He is an awesome little boy. It took him about a month, but he is finally enjoying being a big brother! Maybe this is going to sound like a Christmas letter... but hey, we are 10 days out so why not?! (okay, so it's now January. Where did December go?) Miss Annabell was born on the Autumn Equinox, into Zac's arms. She has been the sweetest addition to our family.  Orin and Kalia have been the best biggest siblings, and have (for the most part) enjoyed stepping into these roles. It IS incredibly weird to say that I have 4 kids.  I'm still in my Jeep. Zac did add a 3rd row in the back. RIP trunk space. We have some really exc...
