Cereal Ice Cream….Let’s Get Nostalgic

My friend is opening up a pop up

ice cream shop and I am thrilled we got to test out some flavors. 

My little ones were home sick so it was a perfect gift for them and treat. Such fun flavors. I will be sure to share when she starts selling them. 

Nostalgic flavors from being a kid. It’s great how something as simple as a cereal flavored ice cream can do that.

Back Country Cafe in Killington Vermont

Awesome breakfast place. Food was delicious and place was so country and cozy. 

Love the sign! 

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?

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. 

Happy March

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.
