Girls weekend in Palm Springs

By
Last weekend I had some girl time with my HS buds down near Palm Springs and we had such a blast. It's been several years since we had some good quality time to catch up because we usually only get together for dinner over Xmas. I've known them going on 30 years now and even though we don't see each other that much anymore, we fall right back into gabbing and laughing our heads off. We worked off all the rose we drank with some pool time and a great hike scrambling up giant boulders near the place we stayed in La Quinta. We also did an escape room, which was my first time and it was super fun. We opted to go for the hardest one and we got out in time (we got hints) but technically didn't solve the puzzle all the way so I feel like we found a loophole in the game! Anyway, the weekend was a really great getaway. Big thank you to Scott and Grammie and Grandpa for watching the girls while I was away!


Dinner at the Cliffhouse in La Quinta.
No filter!

We stayed at the Legacy Villas in La Quinta and the grounds were beautiful!

We escaped!

We made it to the top!

    I was on my girls' trip with CMC friends that same weekend. Aren't trips like that the best? :)

    It was the best! It's so nice to just relax with good friends without constantly looking at the clock to get home. Can't wait to do it again!

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

By
We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Line em up!

By
I remember being surprised several years ago when I saw someone in Evie's class lining her toys up neatly for play. I know lining toys up isn't remarkable, but didn't occur to me until I saw her play like that that Evie didn't do it. I expressed this to Scott and while I don't think it's bad or good, it was just interesting to me back then because of the different ways little kids' minds work. It's even more interesting to me now because lo and behold, Nora is someone who likes to line up her toys! I've actually never seen Evie do this ever and Nora does this quite often. It makes me wonder what this says about their personalities and natural instincts.
