This is how I’m feeling about a kids free weekend in Revelstoke! Last time I was there, Nate and I fill up on tequila at the local bowling alley getting amp’ed up to enjoy the 50cm of fresh powder that was coming down. The next day reality set in after multiple runs to the toilet, disabling dizziness, and mass amounts of sweat - seriously, I was the only person on the patio stripped down and sweating something fierce. I’d never reacted to tequila (or drinking for that matter) to such an extreme before. After 24hrs, I was pretty sure I was coming down with the flu but Nate had other suspicions. After much debate, I finally took a road side squirt on a pregnancy stick - turns out I was pregnant. And here we are, 3 years later.

I’ve been solo parenting for 11 days and let me tell you - it’s not easy when it’s -28C outside and the majority of the day is spent indoors. Yes, it’s true...at the risk of being shunned by the entire outdoor community, I might have implied we’ve had some “bad weather”. Seriously tho, rather than stressing about freezing my kids’ digits off, we’ve gone climbing, swimming, painting, and now biking! And guess what...I don’t feel bad or guilty about it at all! I just ask myself one important question...will this make them nap? 😅

There’s so much about this pic that makes my heart flutter! Watching this little chick kick my son’s butt on the climbing wall was great! Not only is she free climbing here, but she’s literally trying to pull him off the ground 😂 I think it worked... he hasn’t stopped talking about her all day and demanded hard boiled eggs (like she was eating) when we got home. Guys like girls who can kick their butts right? The kid can handle speed and jumps but I’m pretty sure his feet are full of lead! #toddlersruletheworld

I’ve been a little quiet these days reflecting on the life of my Oma. She meant so much to me and was truly one of a kind. She spoke her mind, didn’t worry about what others thought, she lived in the moment, and surrounded herself with incredible people. She loved her great grand-children, and in her tribute, they played her a song as we celebrated her life today. Stairway to Heaven never sounded so good.❤️

What if you were told someone you loved tremendously only had 2hrs to live? Like completely unexpectedly - out of no where! I know, morbid question to start the New Year but this happened to me right before the holidays. Thankfully we got the Christmas miracle we were asking for but it’s been a long process. After taking a huge step back, I’ve been thinking about WHO and WHAT I spend my time, energy, and money towards. I definitely don’t have it all figured out but instead of trying to do it all - I want to do less, take more in, and connect on deeper levels - with family, friends, and my passions. After a week in Fernie, one thing I definitely know for sure is that deep leg burns skiing powder with @supersalmons is definitely on the list. 🙌🏽

Winter must be here...last night Nate asked me to cuddle and I said “No, I haven’t showered in days - I feel greasy and I stink.” He flopped back onto his pillow and sighed “You always say you’re too greasy, stinky, and hairy.” I shrieked “WHAT! I never said I was too HAIRY!!!!” 😠 Well, after our hike today, I came home, showered, and shaved my legs. It won’t change anything now tho...I’m still only going to stretch over and put my cold feet on him. #romance
