I walked downstairs the other day and Maximo said “That shirt again mom?!” He was wrong, it was a different shirt but I see where he’s coming from...everything is monotone and jeans. To shake things up, I’m letting V dress me for the rest of the week. This should be interesting considering her sense of style and her reaction the last time she saw me in a dress... #staytuned
I’m a workaholic, perfectionist, who endlessly criticizes herself as a mother. Wow. 😅 I love working and I deeply love my kids too. In fact, if I’m working, I feel guilty that I’m not with my kids and vice-versa. The vicious circle is further amplified by my perfectionism telling me that I can always do better. I think a lot of moms feel this way actually... The past couple of weeks have been an adjustment but it’s helped me realize that some of my personal “buckets” were seriously depleted and although I don’t believe in balance, I’ve discovered some areas of my life need a little more time than I’ve been dedicating...like connecting with friends, having fun, and running!
Just sitting here dreaming about tomorrow as it pukes outside in Fernie... 😍 Maybe this will be the kids’ first powder day! Wait....I wonder if the daycare is all booked up... —- We’ve had some great days on the snow this past week - stomach flu can’t stop us! #girovdayride
Today’s ski morning was rescued by the incredible pink tutu! But seriously, if it means more ski days like today then sign me up! I was a little nervous heading there solo with both kids cruising but they made it feel like a piece of cake. Now I’m just going to cross my fingers and hope things go just as smoothly for this weekend’s ski trip to Fernie... #ferniestoke
Vee is rubbing off on me and pink is slowly working it’s way into my wardrobe! But that’s not the only new thing I’m trying...I have total separation issues when it comes to outdoor gear (I wear the same long underwear from Uni and yes...they are about as sexy as you would imagine being that old) but destiny took charge last week... I had just finished telling Nate that I needed to replace my 8yr old mid-layer and a couple of days later I WON a jacket!!! 🎉Yes, WON!!! I rarely enter social media contests but I’ve been following @crowfootmedia for awhile and they recently teamed up with @fjallraven_na for a giveaway. Needless to say, I’m super pumped about this Keb down jacket and I can’t wait to spend the next 30years of my life with it 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for making me happy dance in the Petro gas parking lot @crowfootmedia & @fjallraven_na !!! 💃🏽
Yesterday was for us! Wait, no...it was for you @supersalmons! Happy Birthday! It’s pretty awesome to have a partner in crime who loves all the same things - seriously...skiing, dressing up like idiots, the Keg, all the desserts...it was my happy day too and I’m pumped we get to do it all together 💕 This man is the receiver of my bad days, the bottom of our family dog piles, the daily litter scooper, the super carrier of ski gear and groceries, pancake chef extreme and we’d be broken without him. We notice all the little things you do and I hope this is YOUR year because you’ve given so much to us...including lots of bacon. This year we’ll make sure to save you a few pieces. Love you.
