And just like that, The Lodge is done and we’ve begun splitting our time there. It felt like it took forever and ever to get to this point and now that it’s here, time is moving at warp speed. We’re getting into a new rhythm here in our little lives and we finally feel like …

Building the Lodge: Moving In
We’ve officially moved into The Lodge! A few weeks ago Alex’s parents joined us in our first stay at The Lodge where we unpacked and got settled. We waited a long, long time and worked tirelessly to make this a reality for our family and it finally happened – we moved in! The day we …
A New Chapter
We are at the beginning of a very new, big chapter in our lives. Our mountain house is {basically} done and we’re in the process of moving in. We’re planning on spending as much time out there as possible as we build a new life for our family. Additionally, I recently resigned from my job …

Building the Lodge: Paint!
On a recent trip out to The Lodge, Alex and I needed to confirm our hardwood floors {we’re going with a #2 knotty white oak with a clear coat and 5″ floorboards} and do a walk through of the house with the tile guys. It was a big day out there and I suspect we’ll …
Best Day Ever?
There are so many moments and experiences in my life that stand out as some of the best moments I’ve experienced – when both of my kids were born, Ben meeting Hannah for the first time and some dates and meals stand out, for sure. When it comes to best days ever, though, the list …
