As with much of the rest of the world, our Christmas was a bit quiet and low-key. Despite not being together in person with family or friends, our holiday was very, very special. Ben and Hannah are at such a fun age for all of the holiday hoopla and were really into everything Christmas-related this […]

First Holiday Season at The Lodge
This holiday season was extra special for us. We’re hoping to spend every Thanksgiving and Christmas at The Lodge from here until eternity and our inaugural year didn’t disappoint. Our first Christmas season was a white one and it was filled with more joy and smiles on my kids’ faces than I’ve ever seen before. We […]

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween from my little Cubbies! I’ll post more photos after trick or treating tonight.
Holiday Baking!
I consider myself to be more a chef than a baker at any point during the year. Recipes are not really my friend and I don’t normally have the patience for baking. The exception is during the holidays! I’m known to bake anywhere from 10-20 dozen cookies during the holiday season and this year is […]
Fourth Annual Holiday Party
Hosting our holiday party has become quite a fun tradition we look forward to every year. We’ve learned a lot over the last few years and definitely had it dialed in this year. We tried a few new foods and continued our same laid-back approach to the soiree and it was wonderful. I had so much fun […]
