  • A Chill Father’s Day Adventure at the Bonsai Bar 🌿

    A Chill Father’s Day Adventure at the Bonsai Bar 🌿

    This Father’s Day, we wanted to do something a little different—something fun, hands-on, and a bit unexpected. We found the perfect way to celebrate: a Bonsai Bar Workshop at Loveland Aleworks, and it was such a cool experience!

    The workshop was all about learning the art of bonsai—pruning, potting, and designing your very own miniature tree. It was super relaxing but also a neat chance to get creative together. The instructors were great, guiding us step-by-step through the process and sharing tips to help us shape and care for our trees.

    One of the best parts was just hanging out in the cozy, welcoming space of Loveland Aleworks. We even got to order food and drinks to enjoy while we worked on our bonsai projects, which made it feel like a chill little party with a nature twist.

    If you’re looking for a unique activity (or just want a fun afternoon trying something new), I highly recommend checking out a Bonsai Bar workshop like this one. It’s hands-on, memorable, and you get to take home a beautiful, living keepsake.

  • Sushi-Fi in Fort Collins – Worth It for the All You Can Eat Experience!

    Sushi-Fi in Fort Collins – Worth It for the All You Can Eat Experience!

    We finally checked out Sushi-Fi in Fort Collins a couple of weeks ago, and honestly, it totally lived up to the hype.

    My 15-year-old was especially excited about the “All You Can Eat” sushi concept (teenage boy + bottomless sushi = dream come true), and he went all in with the premium option. He absolutely got his money’s worth.

    My 12-year-old and I both opted for the basic tier, which was still plenty! We kicked things off with some apps—miso soup, cucumber salad, and veggie tempura—then dove into a few different rolls. I definitely ate more than I needed (story of my life at AYCE places), but it was fun to try so many things. And since kids ages 9–12 are half price, it felt like a great opportunity for my daughter to branch out and try sushi she wouldn’t normally order.

    We sat at the sushi counter, which I totally recommend. You get to see all the rolls as they go out—each one looked gorgeous and gave us ideas for what to try next. Olivia was our server and she was fantastic—super friendly, helpful with suggestions, and made sure we understood how the ordering worked.

    Yes, it was a bit of a splurge, but honestly, the price was right in line with what you’d spend at any quality sushi spot. We left full, happy, and already talking about what we’ll order next time. 🥢
