Happy 2013!

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks with the holidays. But with any turn of the calender year comes a little bit of reflection.

I got to spend a few days in Whistler with some of my best friends and their families. We played Farkle and Cards Against Humanity (sans parents). Drank the official wine of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and enjoyed some gorgeous days skiing. The sun even graced us with its presence for about a day and a half and we had sweeping views of the Fitzsimmons and Pacific Mountain Ranges.

Dog Ears

S and I spent last weekend at our family’s lake place on Priest Lake in North Idaho. We borrowed a party barge from our parent’s friends and putted around the lake.  I love this photo of Ripken with his ears floating in the wind.

Don’t you love how doggie ears feel like velvet? Rip is 11 years old, he likes to rest his chin on your lap and close his eyes that now have cataract in them. I feel like massaging his soft ears makes his eyes feel a little better.

Happy holiday weekend!

Currently Coveting: Cabin Cozy

Just saw this 700 square foot cabin from Mountain Living, and instantly fell in love with the property. The views, the coziness, but the brightness from those windows. I read a book a while ago that was written from Ernest Hemingway’s first wife’s point of view, called “The Paris Wife”. She writes about spending time in the mountains and feeling healthy, fit and happy from breathing the fresh air daily, eating well, and drinking wine in the evening by a fire.  This cabin makes me think of cozying into a blanket, reading a good book, and sipping tea in the morning. I picture hiking, and fly fishing during the day, and then drinking wine and talking around the fire in the evening. Everything about this small foot print space is gorgeous (the styling certainly helps with that).

Get the cozy look with these blankets.
