In this episode of Springs and Things, Carly and Lauren are ditching the meticulously planned resolutions and embracing a wing-it approach to kicking off 2025 with a spring-centric twist! Join them for a hilariously honest conversation about everything from geocaching and paddleboarding to detoxifying their homes and supporting local farmers markets. Carly might even tackle DIY landscaping—will she pull it off?

You'll laugh, you'll relate, and you might even find inspiration for your own Colorado Springs bucket list (Balloon Glow, anyone?). Plus, hear about Carly's plan to make construction traffic fun and Lauren's word of the year: Play!

Whether you're into home organization, going clean (what does that even mean?), or just want fresh ideas for local adventures, this episode has something for everyone.

Kick off 2025 with a fresh perspective, a little sass, and a whole lot of Colorado Springs love!
