One Room Spring Tour Coming Soon

Good Morning!  Next week I will be part of a fun little Spring Tour that kicks off on Monday.  The very sweet and amazingly talented designer Kathleen from Lindsay Hill Interiors pulled it together and rounded up an amazing group to participate.  It starts Monday, April 11th and runs all week.  There will be five bloggers/designers sharing each day and each day will have a different theme/room.  I love the idea of everyone just sharing one room instead of an entire home.  Here's a peek at the line up:

Spring Sandals

Good Morning!  Can not believe it is the eve of my most favorite month of the year.  I love, love, love April!  The weather in our area is usually so pleasant and everything is so green and blooming.  It's all so pretty.  And with that warm spring weather, I get to finally pull out my favorite sandals.  While doing a little online shopping yesterday, I noticed that these now come in four colors.  I bought mine at the end of summer last year, and they were only available in the nude color.  Really crushing on the black and gray options.  Love the slight wedge and strappy design.  They zip in the back and are really comfortable.  You can click on the pictures below shop these.

Have a great day!

Santa Fe Trip

 

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!  Today I wanted to share a bit about our recent trip to Santa Fe over spring break.  It was our first time to visit there and we really enjoyed it!  A little bit different ski set up then we are used to as there is no lodging or ski in ski out places right near the slopes, but you get the added bonus of the town plaza which is filled with charm and culture.  We stayed at the Eldorado hotel and spa which is right in town and walking distance to everything.  The ski area is a gorgeous 15 mile drive up the mountain.  The picture above is taken on our drive up to the slopes. 

 

 

When I called a few weeks before our trip to book ski school for the kids, the Chipmunk Corner was full.  So we ended up doing a 2 hour private lesson for both kids two days in a row, which ended up being so worth it!  They had ski for the first time last year in Tahoe, but they really got the hang of it this year.  The instructors took them straight to the lift and they never had to wait in lines, so the repetition they got was great.  The lessons also allowed Grant and I to ski a few runs together.  And then on the last day, all four of us were able to go up on the lifts together and ski several of the green slopes.  It was so nice.

 

 

 

We also explored some of the hiking trails and a little sledding slope.

 

 

 

 

 

The town plaza area is really a beautiful setting.  It has lots of fun stores to shop and delicious restaurants.  We spent part of our first day and most of our last day in the plaza.  Definitely a wonderful place to visit!
