What I wore most: Winter 2023/2024

March 18, 2024 March 9, 2024 Randi

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these!

But, we kicked the new year off with a “return to office” initiative, and once I took a look at my closet, I realized I needed new clothes.

I’ve spent the last three years working from home in leggings, slippers and Patagonia fleeces, and before that, I spent six months of unemployment wearing sports bras and running shorts. Prior to that, I rotated through the same five outfits as a Peace Corps volunteer and before that, it was 2019 and I was running through Chicago in dark skinny jeans and ballet flats.

Fashion has changed quite a bit since the last time I set foot in an office environment.

The youths wear baggy pants now.

RIP business casual.

Exploring the Sonoran! Our weekend backpacking Sabino Canyon on the Coronado National Forest

March 5, 2024 February 23, 2025 Randi

My legs are SORE and my poor feet are blistered to shreds!

Ryan and I spent this past weekend hiking around the Coronado National Forest’s Sabino Canyon Recreation Area at the base of the Santa Catalina mountains outside of Tucson, Ariz!

We put in 19 miles and 3,200 feet of elevation gain (hence the sore legs!) to see Bear Canyon and Sabino Canyon, with a few stops (and an overnight campsite!) in between.
