Snowmobiling in Killington
I don’t ski. He does snowboarding. To have fun in the snow we decided to go snowmobiling.
It was a blast! Our guide was from Connecticut- small world. We were the only one with him so he brought us on some crazy trails. My boyfriend is super responsible and so I trust him a lot so some of these hills we came down of I wouldn’t have trust anyone to drive me through them but him.
It was a blast and so pretty. Up in the mountains. Just peaceful.
Last summer we did ATVs here. Great place and the staff is so friendly. https://www.snowmobilevermont.com/killington

Fun at McGrath’s Irish Pub in Vermont
This place was so much fun!! We had a great weekend in Vermont. We originally booked it in November but had to go to Colorado for work and had to reschedule it all to this weekend.
I love spending time with him. We always stumble across cool places and great experiences. The half and half beer was topped with a shamrock. I hardly drink so this is plenty for me. We tried Bangers & Boxty-a traditional Irish sausage and potato pancake meal. We had chocolate chip Irish soda bread pudding. He had corn beef and cabbage.
The singer even dedicated an Irish song to us- he made sure it was a happy love song.
If you’re in Killington be sure to try it http://www.innatlongtrail.com/mcgraths-irish-pub.html

Ash Wednesday
We always get our ashes. It’s the start of lent. I always loved this time of year. It reminds me of my grandmother and spring and beauty. The start of warm weather and happiest faces. Where the world becomes alive again.
Did you get your ashes?
My Goal Is To Raise Good People
My number one goal is to raise good people. Kind. Smart. Helpful kids. That to me is the greatest accomplishment!
Urban Air…Hours of Fun
This group of kids are awesome. 4 Adults. 6 kids. 6 hours of fun this weekend to celebrate my middle one turning 9.
We went to Urban Air in Orange. The unlimited pass is perfect. They can do everything. Go karts, zip line, trampolines. The best was one of her friends was nervous and scared to zip line by the end she did it twice and loved it.
Was packed but fun.

Turning 9
She turned 9 today. We had a great weekend of celebrations. 9 seems like such a big number. She’s so sweet and smart and probably my easiest child to raise. She is to herself and easy going. She doesn’t need a lot to be happy and I adore her.

Tubing At Powder Ridge
We took the kids a couple of weeks ago and it’s so much fun. It’s 90 mins. You take an automatic ramp up with your tubes and slide down the paths. So much fun. The kids kept racing my boyfriend. It’s a blast. I did it last year at night with neon lights.
Kids asked for this to be our tradition every winter. Of course I agreed. What a fun activity to do together.
My boyfriend snowboards here and brings his daughter to ski. I do the tubing…too old to hurt myself but really it’s a great place!!

Family…When Families Blend
I love this crew. Family isn’t always blood. Family isn’t just people you meet young. Family can be anyone who comes into your life at any point and loves you. For you. Accepts you. Enjoys you.
That’s “family”
We have an extended family now. It’s him and I. Then our kids together. Then our families together. It’s beautiful. It really is.
We pinky swore last night to never break up. It was a joke after hearing some dating horror stories from our friends. But really he’s someone I want to be with forever.
I love the extended “family” we created together. You too can have that. Family never stops. Family just grows.

When In Rome….in Virginia Beach
This was an awesome Italian restaurant. The staff is amazing. The food was delicious and we had a great time here for dinner.
Chicken parm
This pasta special was so cool. The pasta- cappelletti was filled with mascarpone and pears.
If you’re ever in the area definitely go there.

Weekend in Virginia Beach
It was my first time. We went for my boyfriend’s daughter’s gymnastics competition. It was so nice to have a room on the beach. I fell asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing. It’s magical!
We were on the balcony and saw dolphins. Four swimming along. Was so cool!
His parents met us to hang for the weekend. We had a blast.
Our first night we went for Mexican and the drinks were insane. They came in three sizes. Small- really regular, medium- like a fish bowl or monster which could probably fit a whole bottle of liquor. I am not much of a drinker so small was plenty for me.
Virginia Beach is a beach town. Fun shops and restaurants. Not everything was open due to off season but was fun to experience.
The convention center is gorgeous.
I was so glad to be their to support her during her competition.
She did great!!

Get A Hold Of Your Emotions!
I have spoken about this many times. The importance of Emotional Intelligence. Where people lack it and it affects them greatly.
I had a recent situation where someone can’t emotionally handle a situation that resulted them missing an important event due to them being jealous. They couldn’t emotionally handle being there in the presence of someone else. A person who came to show support for someone.
Can you imagine? Could you imagine not being able to have control over your emotions so much that you would miss an important event because of being jealous or insecure or who else knows because I could not explain her actions. I understand if an event made you comfortable for a reason or you could not afford it BUT in life we make sacrifices. We make sacrifices for our kids and that’s the main goal. Our kids. Their happiness.
The more I thought about it the more I couldn’t understand it. I just couldn’t wrap my mind around it as a parent. Nothing led to this person to feel this way. No arguments. No disagreements. This person has been around these people multiple times but yet years later they said they can’t attend an event because it’s too emotionally hard for them.
Emotionally hard?
Please don’t be like this. I have faced uncomfortable situation before but focused on the importance of the reason I was there. I was able to set that aside and be there for people. Please do the same!
