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 […]

Holiday Traditions
One of my absolute favorite holiday traditions is baking Christmas cookies. I love to package them up in a cute little box and bring them around to our neighbors to spread some holiday cheer. This year was our tenth year of doing this! Ben got really into cookie baking with me this year. We had so […]
Christmas 2018
This holiday season was extra special. We made so many memories and had new experiences, started new traditions and enjoyed time as a family. Alex’s family flew out from Illinois to join us for Christmas at Suncadia Resort in the heart of the Cascade Mountains. We rented a beautiful house tucked into the snow-covered evergreens […]

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 […]

Ali’s Favorite Things 2017
Per the request of one of my friends, I put together an “Ali’s Favorite Things” list. I knew I had done this before but I didn’t realize it was three years ago already. It’s funny looking back on that list because every single one of those items I mentioned would be on my list today […]
