NEW POST: I had to tread softly while writing this one. I have had multiple experiences in Crested Butte, but hadn't been since 2018. It was quite a wake up to see what it has become. Travel with me on a Tuesday! #CrestedButte #Colorado #skitown

I couldn't agree more, Wallace. Here's an oldie, but goodie. A little Sunday reading on a cold and snowy Colorado morning. "National parks are the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst." - Wallace Stegner, 1983 https://lnkd.in/gzeastKg

Thought I'd share a post giving you a romantic trip idea since it's the lovely-dovey time of year. This is one of my biggest posts of all time, and it gets viewed every day, so obviously, there is an interest in Colorado hot springs! Does anyone recognize the hot springs pictured?

NEW POST: Much of our travel in 2025 is dog-friendly unless we're getting on a plane, and that's just the way Fritzi likes it. Travel in 2025 will take us to Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Wyoming and Nebraska. And who knows where else we'll be!

Years and years ago, HeidiTown used to review movies, books, and restaurants. As you know, I don't write or promote movies anymore, but this one is SO GOOD. You should go see it! It harkens to a time when music was about music. Watching about five minutes of the Grammy's last night, I was reminded that today's music is all about the show. I grew up in a musical family and singer/songwriter music is my jam. If you know of someone I should put on my radar, leave me a message below. We discovered Forrest McCurren this past summer, so I know the singer/songwriters are still out there! Long live music. Long live songwriting. https://lnkd.in/g-DkNG3Z

"Creative Collisions" I heard this phrase in a podcast today. Those of us who work from home don't have daily creative collisions. In fact, we're lucky to have one a month! I want, dare I say, NEED, more creative collisions in my life. To be philosophical, it's hard to have "creative collisions" if we're all remote workers and never leave the comfort of our sweatpants. Have any real creative collisions happened in sweatpants? #lovewhereyoulive #smalltownsmatter #creativecollisions

My newest post is about our weekend stay at Hotel Clio, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Denver Cherry Creek. Fun Fact: We have a long relationship with Cherry Creek. Find out why this Denver neighborhood has played a big part in our lives. Ryan Schlaefer #travel #HotelClio #Denver #Colorado https://lnkd.in/gwPNbZ6f

NEW POST: Having lived in Northern Colorado for 22 years, I can be a jaded "old-timer" when it comes to changes. This trip was a good reminder that some good things have remained the same and others have gotten better (like the alleyways). Here is our one-night, dog-friendly stay at The Elizabeth Hotel in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado. #FortCollins #Colorado #travel #dogfriendly

My most recent post on HeidiTown involves my ownership of Ryan Schlaefer Fine Furniture, Inc. with my husband, Ryan Schlaefer. It was inspired by a podcast I listened to in 2024, by Rebecca Undem. A concept I found extremely compelling as a twenty year business owner who often forgets why we love being business owners. It's easy get stuck in the weeds and forget our purpose. I have included this concept in some presentations I give as HeidiTown Consulting. #racquetball #businessownership #businessowner #purpose

On Facebook, I've been sharing my favorite posts from 2024. I loved this series about our anniversary road trip inspired by reading about cowboys and cattle drives. #roadtrip #blogging https://lnkd.in/gX_jWFRD
