Bright Lights, Big City

Today Harper and I went to Salt Lake City. Nbd. Except that it was! We’ve been in the Park City bubble for almost 12 months and have not yet ventured into the city until today (with the exception of airport visits).   We were called to Target because 1.) ski season is over and it…

Let’s talk CONFIDENCE!

You might have picked up on the fact that I’m really feeling myself these days (I hope it’s not too annoying!). Since we’ve been out here in Utah our lives have totally changed from the super-urban-high-achieving-city-dwellers that we were. Mountain life has afforded me I’ve new experiences that have built up my confidence in ways…

Backcountry Ski Day!

We finally got to try backcountry skiing! We’d been waiting for more snow and boy are we getting it now. We headed out with some friends and our guides, Amazing and Wonderful Carl and the Fabulous Otto. It was a super cold, snowy and windy day…so not perfect conditions, but we layered up and committed…

Quiet Down!

How much alone time do you require? I’ve recently realized that I need more alone time than I thought! When I get enough time alone and declutter my mind, when I return to my family, I love the version of myself I can bring to the table! I can appreciate everyone and everything so much…

“It’s a Park City Day”

On Saturday’s we ski. It’s the best day of the week, partly because Kevin is with us, partly because we’re all together and mostly because we are outside having fun all day!   Yesterday Kevin and I were together, and he had to stop because hydration. So I did a lap by myself while I…

Movies that MOTIVATE!

Unless you’re reading this from Down Under, it’s Winter time which means cold temps and long nights! These long nights have me enjoying a little more “womb time.” That’s the cozy couch time under my decadent fuzzy Ugg blanket, fireplace on, and one or some of the kiddos with me.   Completely unplanned, I ended…

The Big Hike…

In this time of severe isolation, which I don’t always hate, I am fortunate enough to have an amazing neighbor in my building who is also a mother of three living here full time.  What began as a circumstantial friendship has grown into something much deeper.   Both desperate for connection and committed to stay…

All the Nature Pics

I started getting super psyched about hiking around Park City this summer because of the seemingly endless options and varieties of hikes – and they’re pretty much right out of the back door.   I’d pick a trail and head out with my phone in my pocket, cheap Columbia backpack on my back, my fave…

Some Real Mountain Reality

Mountain life isn’t all about the stunning vistas and deep Oprah thoughts while communing with nature. It’s had some gritty little moments for all of us…even my little boyfriend, Sexy Rexy.   Rex has been having diarrhea all up in the condo for about a week. This is very gross to actually write about. I’m…
