I am the 36-year old mom of two little girls. Pea is 3.5 and Coco is 19-months. And no, those are not their real names. They are, however, their real nicknames. We are fortunate to have an incredible life in a charming ski town in Utah. Yes, we are skiers. And we are raising skiers. We are also hikers. You can even throw a little fly-fishing into the mix. (I caught the only fish that day in Colorado, but I was also slapped by an ex-marine, so I’d say it was a wash.) Anyway, we are just your not-so-average outdoor enthusiasts. I love playing outside with my girls, family hikes, dinners out with my husband, good books, cooking, music and traveling. All of the things that I write about on my site, whether it be clothing, children’s books, make-up or toys, are things that I buy. With my own money. Occasionally, someone sends me something, and if that is the case, I will fess up to it. I am honest. To a fault. And I like stuff.
