This holiday season has flown by, but we’re here to slow things down with a lighthearted chat about our favorite Colorado Springs spots, fun activities, and hidden gems. Tune in for laughs, stories, and ideas to test out in the new year!

This episode was basically a love letter to tea, treasure hunts, and fondue (OK, and a bunch of other places). Oh, and Carly revealed she’d survive on gifts from her mom if left to her own shopping skills. Meanwhile, Lauren learned that missing happy hour officially makes it “sad hour.”

Don’t miss our New Year’s Eve special next week for more laughs, chaos, and local tales.
