Last week my daughter turned 11 and I threw her a Bubblegum Party at the ‘Candy Escape Room’. Her name is Aurora but she also goes by, ‘Bubblegum’, or at least that is what she went by as a baby to an older toddler. She mainly goes by Aurora but at random we’ll still call …
I grew up near Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah. I lived just a few-minute walk away from the bus stop that took me to my all time favorite ski resort, Brighton. When I was in Jr. High school we were able to buy $50 student seasons passes. I scraped together the money for a pass …
