I used to feel like getting outside with the kids “wasted a lot of energy”. After battling to get dressed, adjusting from missed naps, or having to call it quits after 10min b/c of meltdowns - I was left feeling failure. The activities wiped me out more than them!!! But then I decided to use energy differently. Now, I assess the “mood” and choose an activity that fits - ranging from backyard play to mountain trips (I have an arsenal of backup plans). Heck, groceries can be an adventure on the right day! Don’t make things tougher than they need to be. Is it really worth the fight?! Sometimes, but it’s important to recognize when to switch gears and just go for that walk around the block instead. I’ve learnt that letting go is ok, when you have to change plans, it’s ok and the best part - the kids hardly know the difference 😃
These are the moments I live for! Getting to do what I love WITH my family is a dream come true 😍 Add tasty local beer, new friends who feel like old friends, good food, and fresh tracks, and I’m in paradise!!! How will summer ever top this?!? @tourismgolden @kickinghorsemtn
So pumped we get to squeeze in one last ski trip to @kickinghorseresort! I’m not ready for “spring skiing” to end but at least we’ll be sending it off in style with the Slush Cup, awesome friends, and of course, more turns with my boy 😍
Some days you just gotta pack up the kids, drop them off at Nana’s, and go to @castlemountainresort for some outdoor therapy 😍 And then eat 2 bags of A&W onion rings and slam a beer to celebrate. Thanks for the wicked date @supersalmons #adventuremamas #skilikeamother
With blowing snow and wind, we decided to hit up @blinebikepark. This place is so huge - we always find something new to try. After a few falls, here he is saying “ta-da” after crossing the skinny rail and carrying speed to the logs. Can’t wait for dirt and summer (after I squeeze in a few more days on skis 😉)
Even 2yr olds love spring skiing!!! Couldn’t get enough of the sun, smiles, and turns! Woohoo! ~ I’m not sure where it came from but today was a game changer. Suddenly he ASKED to ski, controlled his speed, and cried when we had to leave the hill. I don’t believe the desire to do these kinds of things comes immediately but there are definitely ways to help kids along. Stay tuned for my upcoming blog :) @winsportcanada @raisinglittlerippers @tinybigadventure
