They say your calendar reveals your life.

Cheers to the events, adventures and gatherings that make us a community.

Here’s our 2025 Big Yay Adventure & Events highlights from our CEO - an adventure lover who attends, hosts and promotes experiences for connection and celebrating community.

From travels to Nashville, San Antonio and New Orleans to local events like the All Day Rose’ Party & the epic Thunder Championship Parade, it was a year of connection and memory-making.

What was your favorite gathering in 2025? Drop it in comments!

Stay tuned for 3 more year end spotlights.

Tis the season for cozying up with a good book - bought from a local bookstore, of course.

Today, I popped in to and readers were nestled by the fireplaces and in the cafe enjoying the December afternoon.

The book I wanted was in stock & I got another to tide me over til the new year.

They also carry book-ish gifts, too, like mugs, bookmarks and throws.

What are you reading & loving lately?
