After months of anticipation around my Women’s Backcountry Ski Camp it is finally over! I am relieved to have the experience behind me and am pleased to report that I came away with an appreciation for the backcountry and an admiration for people who care to spend time back there – I can certainly see the …

Life’s Difficult Lessons
It seems as though I have found myself amidst a pretty big and difficult life lesson. I’m not completely sure where it’s leading me, but enough scenarios have presented themselves over the last few weeks for me to realize I am on a journey to be able to go with the flow, let things go …
A Disappointing Ski Season
Well it’s mid-January and our ski season has barely started. Sure, we’ve got six ski days under our belt so far, but there hasn’t been a single weekend yet this winter where we’ve gone skiing like a normal ski day. Why, you ask? Well mother nature is cursing the Pacific Northwest skiers, apparently. She throws these …
Catching up at Home
After a very busy but enjoyable holiday season we had many a things to catch up on at home. It has been a bit of a crazy week just getting back into our routines and picking up where we left off before mid-December arrived and we went into auto-pilot. So far, 2015 is off to …
Utah Ski Trip

Our Skiing Evolution
As we patiently await the start to the 2014-2015 ski season Alex and I have been recalling just how far we have come as skiers over the last several years. We also realized that we are entering our seventh ski season in Washington, making that Alex’s eighth overall ski season. Somehow I had a lot of confidence as a …
It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!
Alex and I went a leeeeetle wild on the holiday decor this year. We are pulling out all the stops as we count down the days to our holiday party and the arrival of our family for Christmas. Here is a little sneak peek at our holiday home…
My Favorite Things
Oprah called and suggested I do a post about my favorite things, just like she does every year. I am almost as much of a big shot as she is, so I figure, what the heck. So, just for fun, I have compiled a list of some of my favorite random things, just like Oprah….. …
