Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

7 Fresh Air is Great


Last Saturday I was finally able to get up on the slopes. Once-upon-a-time I had a season pass & snowboarded nearly once a week. Last winter I didn't go at all since I was pregnant. This winter I've struggle to find time to get away. Mommyhood changes everything. My great friend/next door neighbor, Britney, & I had a great time. I have Brit to thank for getting me into this awesome hobby. She is a DANG good rider & teacher!

We were covered in layer of ice the first half of the day (wet snow + wind), a far cry from the blue sky that had been forecast. Oh, well...the worst day on the mountain would still be worth it. ESPECIALLY after cleaning up after 2 little girls with the stomach flu the previous week. Mommies need days off, too!



PS-Thanks Nate, for staying home with the girls!

LOL Maren! I really hope that my girls can be friends through their HS years. I feel bad that we weren't. What a waste for time. Look at us now; we do have so much in common...hobbies, kids, husbands, ect. Can't wait to come visit & YES we will go snowboarding!
