We are gathering our May Day baskets this morning and plan to celebrate Spring by walking around the neighborhood dropping them off at neighbors' doors. The kids are excited to ring the doorbells and hide. Since I think once we start doing it, they won't want to stop, I snagged a handful of these baskets at a local thirt store. I love this time of year!

Hi. My name is Megan and I'm a mom to three little ones in Pueblo, Colorado. My husband is a native of Costa Rica and we are proud to be raising our kids to love their multi-cultural heritage. As a born and bred Coloradoan, I'm committed to helping make this community be an even better place to live for my kids and loved ones. For me, this has meant getting involved in promoting local walkability and bikability issues that can help make us all healthier, happier, and more connected to one another. It also means getting out often and enjoying as much of our local community as we can. This blog chronicles our life doing both in and around Pueblo.
