Evergreen, Wintergreen

Life lately: new skis for Mazen and me, good eats, and lots of February!

Mazen and I are ready to ski!

Last year Mazen learned to ski, and I brushed up on my skills. 

The lines at the ski rental were so long and rental fees add up. We knew if skiing was something we were going to stick with, we should go ahead and buy our own gear.

Now we can go straight from car to slopes (buying our lift tickets online) without encountering any people, which is key for COVID safety as well. 

We went to Freestyle, which is a local shop here in town, and were properly fitted.

I knew I could look for used gear or comparison shop online for a discount, but I also knew correct fit would be key and we wanted to support a local store. So I got a nice women’s setup that should last me until I am ready to retire from skiing!

Here’s what I bought:

  • Nordica Sportmachine boots
  • Fischer Aspire skis
  • Smith helmet + goggles

Look at the INSIDE of these!! They are so cozy.

Mazen’s skis are used

Since he’ll likely outgrow them! And we can trade them in next year for another used pair. 


Birch will learn next year

We hope! This year he’s happy prancing around in his boots.

And staying cozy with his animals <3 

Especially Koala! He’s the favorite. 


Meals Lately!

Eggs, orange, English muffin + PlayDoh. 

What was next to me: 

Tuna Salad Melts

Taco Night!

Blue Apron Panko Chicken

This dinner was EPIC – especially the hot honey sauce and cilantro rice!

Sushi Takeout!

Miso soup, edamame, fancy tempura tuna roll and some lighter rolls on the other side. 

Spaghetti + Meatballs!


Lego Brother Time

Haircut Time

Meditation Time!

Peloton Time

Look who I did a ride with – Michael Scott!!

Story time

We LOVE the “How Do Dinosaurs…” series!

Thinking of you all in Texas and other areas hit hard by this winter weather <3 Stay as warm as you can friends.

    Do you mind sharing where you got your sleep sack for Birch? My toddler is showing no signs of giving hers up! Love the little shoulder buttons. Thanks!

      This is it! I’ve had it since Mazen. Ours is the largest size. FYI, Birch can unsnap the shoulders!

    EVERY year, we say this is the year we buy our own ski gear, and EVERY year, we fail to do it. Maybe this is the year! It’s so expensive, but I know it will pay off in a couple of seasons.

    This post finally made me make an appointment at my local ski shop for a ski and boot fitting. We went skiing last weekend and while it felt like the safest activity from a covid standpoint, standing outside for 20 minutes waiting to pick up our rental skis was not fun, and I had to keep futzing with the boots to get the fit right. I know they will pay off in the long run and the short run!

    Hey Kath, Good for you, skiing is such a wonderful family sport! Having been lucky enough to live at Lake Tahoe for 12 years, I skied almost every day! Started my girls when they were 2, but unfortunately neither 1 shared my passion and don’t [articipate any more
    Just curious as to the length of your skis ? Back in the day, the better you got, the longer your skis, I still have my last pair, 190 CM,or about 6 feet long! I don’t use them any more, just demo whatever is the new cool ski.
    Have fun!

      I don’t know the exact length, but they come up to my chin/mouth. She said chin/mouth for beginners, nose for intermediate and forehead for advanced! I am definitely not going to be advanced any time soon, and I went with the shortest option : )
