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 …

All the Skiing!
Skiing is such a pillar for our family and this winter has been the absolute best for family skiing. Both of the kids are obsessed with downhill skiing and they are both loving cross country. It has been a blast! We have been making the rounds at our local resorts to get the kids as …
Ski School!
Long before Alex and I had kids we would catch ourselves dreaming of the days in the future where our little ones would be in ski school and eventually we’d be able to ski together as a family. We’re a long way from all being able to ski together with much independence, but our firstborn …
Toddler Skiing Adventures
Last winter we got Ben out on skis for the first time. We bought some little plastic skis that attached to his snow boots and pulled him around in the snow. He loved it! This winter we stepped up our game significantly and invested in a helmet, goggles, real deal skis and boots and even …
Fun Family Weekend
It was so nice to have a low-key, stress-free weekend together as a family. We so love our time together and we savored some special moments this last weekend, just the three of us. Alex and I started the weekend with our Valentine’s dinner {a couple days late!} at Vendemmia, our favorite restaurant in our …
Whistler Vacation
Whistler is one of Alex’s and my favorite places to visit and ski. The village is adorable and the mountains are extraordinary – Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski resort in North America! We thought it would be the perfect destination for our first family-of-three vacation. Alex and I hadn’t been there together since 2013, …
Day in the Mountains
Alex’s dad has been out here for the long holiday weekend and was itching to go cross country skiing. We headed to our trusty spot at Hyak out at Snoqualmie Pass and showed him where we’ve been going this winter. The weather was pretty good – it was rather warm. Mother Nature was having a …
Another Ski Day!
Last weekend Alex and I headed to the mountains for our second ski day of the season. We timed it well because it ended up being a bluebird day {skier speak for a sunny day 😉 } – the weather was perfect and the conditions were pretty great for the most part. Powder Bowl and …
Mom & Dad’s Ski Day
Can I just say I really don’t love referring to myself in the third person? It’s kind of obnoxious and I fully intended on not doing that but one day it crossed my mind that Ben almost never heard of me referred to as “mama” so I caved. And every time I refer to myself …
Spring Skiing!
I think it’s safe to say that our ski season is officially over. We had one final glorious day on skis to close out the year, but now it’s time to say farewell… Despite being pregnant for the whole ski season and enduring another “el nino” year, we really had a great winter and filled …
