Happy Friday, friends! Last weekend Ryan & I drove up to Boone for the day for a quick ski trip which inspired this post. Now, let me first say that I am no expert on skiing (in fact, I’ve only gone 3 times) but I picked it up pretty quickly and am officially a huge fan of the sport! Last year I was clueless about ski gear and borrowed a few things from one of my friends but now that I know there will be more ski trips in the future, I decided to invest in some quality gear that will last me for many years.
Getting geared up for skiing or snowboarding is a bit of an investment so I did LOTS of research before making these purchases so if you’re planning a trip this winter, hopefully this guide will help you if you’re in the market for some new ski gear!

Here we are, first post of the year! 2019 has gotten off to a great start, yesterday we took a day trip to ski and tomorrow we’re going to the Justin Timberlake concert!!!! I can’t put enough exclamation marks for that one- we saw him a few years ago and it was THE best concert ever. January & February are pretty “blah” months in my opinion so scheduling a few fun activities is key to get through the rest of winter!
Happy New Year’s Eve!!
And just like that, Christmas has come and gone! We had a great holiday season and while I’m a little sad it’s over, I’m excited for what the new year will bring. Today I’m sharing a few snaps and a little recap of what we did over the holidays!
Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!! I say this every year but I swear the time goes by faster as you get older. It seems like it was just yesterday we were at the tree lot picking out our tree and suddenly tomorrow is Christmas. I’ll be taking this week of off blogging to be with the fam but still make sure to follow along on
Just like the song goes, there’s no place like home for the holidays! Today I’m taking y’all inside Hotel Sapel for a little holiday home decor tour and I’m also sharing this year’s Christmas card at the bottom of the post. Yay, Christmas!!!
