New Moon Playlist Featuring Mia Pixley
Events of the past few months have been a catalyst for deep reflection. The global pandemic and the further uncovering of systemic racism still present in our country today weighs heavily on our minds. As such, we find ourselves actively pursuing how we can be more than a place for all to enjoy. We have […]
New Moon Playlist Featuring Kacy & Clayton
Strange times indeed. We’re all dealing with the difficulty of navigating these uncharted waters, but we’re comforted by the fact that we’re all in this together. Knowing that music can be a potent salve in times of crisis, we wanted to put together a new Spotify playlist to help out in a small way. The […]
Field Guide: Valley View Overlook Trail
Valley View Overlook Trail in Saguaro National Park is an easy out and back trail that we especially love for spotting all kinds of native desert plants. The trailhead is only a few minute drive from JTH Tucson, and the trail itself takes only about 30 minutes making it a perfect quick adventure into […]
Fireclay Tile Transformations at JTH Tucson
When we found our dream abandoned inn bordering Saguaro National Park, it already felt like tile heaven. In some areas old carpeting had been removed, but the original Saltillo tile remained along with various Talavera tiles creating patterned borders on the many fireplaces. As we brought JTH Tucson back to life, we loved the idea […]
Field Guide: Split Rock Loop Trail

We find that it’s not as trafficked as other trails in the park (like Hidden Valley or Barker Dam), but offers similar beauty (think rock formations, Joshua Trees, and incredible views). There’s so much beauty […]

Our December New Moon Spotify playlist focuses on the ethereal, hypnotic harmonies of San Francisco duo Magic Magic Roses. Kate Sweeney and Sarah Simon have been making music together since 2008, releasing a string of […]

This year’s gift guide includes so many of our favorite artists and makers (many of which we worked with to create JTH Tucson), and sustainable items we’ve been loving and will continue using in 2020 to reduce waste. Cheers […]
#HowToHost on Airbnb
We’ve now been Airbnb hosts for about five years, and our time hosting has quite honestly completely changed our way of living. Airbnb has asked us to share the honest ups and downs with you all, and why these past five years have both been the most fulfilling and challenging years of our lives. There’s […]
Recycling is Not Enough
Allow me to quickly jump in to re-introduce my sister Jenny before we dive into her second guest post on sustainable living! She began with one small idea: to cut out her use of plastic bags, and from there has grown to reduce her consumption in so many other areas. Her journey has not been […]
