Magic of the Jack-O'Lanterns: Day Time 2025

Magic of the Jack-O'Lanterns is back at Littleton's Hudson Gardens again this year! 

This year we were unable to make it in the evening, so for something a little different, I decide to visit during the day and check out all of the jack-o'lanterns under the sun. I’m so glad I did, because it was such a different experience from visiting in the evening, and it was lovely to see all of the jack-o’lanterns with the colorful Fall foliage.

If you can only visit once, I definitely recommend going in the evening for the full experience of seeing all of the jack-o’lanterns lit up, as well as the light tunnels, the music, and the tasty food on offer (including make your own s’mores), but a visit during the day is also pretty magical. It’s a great option for families with little kids, people with sensory issues, and anyone who wants to get a closer look at all the details. Plus, visiting during the day is free!

Let’s take a look at this year’s Magic of the Jack-O’Lanterns during the day…

The 90s: The Last Decade Before the Future

Want to feel old?

If you’re a similar age to me, a sure fire way to feel old is to see your teen and early adult years on display in a museum. Yep… I’m officially “my life is a museum exhibit” old!

But it’s all good. It’s nostalgia. It’s memories. 

I’m talking about the fun exhibition “The 90s: The Last Decade Before the Future” currently on display at the History Colorado Center. It’s a celebration of a decade that doesn’t feel that long ago, but also feels a whole world away. A decade and a time long gone.

Just like the 90s, the exhibition is about to become a thing of the past, with only a few days left to visit. So grab your Discman and your Blockbuster membership card, throw on a pair of parachute pants, look up History Colorado Center in your street directory, and make your way there by this weekend to revisit the nostalgia of the 90s.

Louisville Historical Museum

Time for a little local love!

We’ve lived in Louisville, Colorado, for six years now, and I’ve been meaning to check out our local history museum that entire time, but it took my parents visiting from Australia this Summer to get us off our butts and visits what has been right under our noses this whole time!

If you’ve ever been to Louisville’s Main Street, you’re likely familiar with the iconic 5c Coca Cola mural on the side of an early 1900s building. They may not be serving up 5c sodas here, but what they are serving up is a whole lot of Louisville’s history!

This is the Louisville Historical Museum, and today I’m sharing it with you.
