Our spring is flying by this year, and gosh it’s been a nice one! The transition from winter to spring was very slow – it took quite a while for the snow to melt and for it to really warm up. For the last three or four weeks we’ve been enjoying the absolute best spring …

Winter Recap
You’ll have to excuse me from a two-plus month hiatus from blogging. Really, I’m not sure what I would have written about, aside from skiing, since that seems to be all we did this winter. And goodness was it fun! Our winter started early this year – November 3rd, to be exact. We got our …
Ski Season!
This is my absolute favorite time of the year. Bring on the snow!! And let’s go skiing! I’ve come to realize in adulthood that winter is the time I am often happiest. As a mother, some of the moments I feel most confident and joyful are when I am taking my kids skiing, either alpine …
Holiday Season
Now that the holidays are behind us we’re diligently focused on ski season. We had such a lovely holiday season, though it felt a little different this year. The lead-up to Christmas felt so long this year. This is due, mostly, I think, to the wildly early start to winter. We’ve had snow covering the …
2022 Recap… A Year in Review
This last year has been one of my absolute favorites. We are getting settled in our life in the mountains, we’re all making new friends, figuring out a balance and enjoying so much time together as a family. It helps that our kids are in such a golden age right now – they still like …
An Early Start to Winter
This fall was truly the strangest. We had three months of smoke, followed by literally two weeks of fall weather, then, just a few days after Halloween we got 8 inches of snow! The first weeks of November were unseasonably chilly, so the snow stuck around and is here to stay. I’ve lost count, but …

Halloween 2022
This was probably the most fun of any Halloween we’ve had so far! Ben and Hannah are at such a fun age to experience and enjoy the holiday. Leading up to the big day, Ben helped me create his pine tree costume and was *very* specific about how he wanted it to look. It took …
Fall 2022
This should be a fairly short post since fall was about two weeks long this year! We missed out on the best fall weather during smoke season, which was such a disappointment. If the smoke hadn’t been there, our fall would have been just spectacular. But, alas, towards the end of October, finally, the weather …
Our Garden Project: 2022
This summer I was able to turn my years-long dream of having a garden into a reality. We bit off a *lot* this summer, and frankly I’m not sure how we pulled this project off in the midst of travel and visitors. We made it a priority and it ended up truly being one of …
