The perfect snowball

by melynda Email

Like most things in my life, I feel like this blog could use a little organization. Fortunately, I love organizing. My mom tells tales of how as a baby I’d open the Tupperware cabinet, pull out all the containers and then put them back in neater order than she had them.

Despite my best efforts, my life with little ones is in constant need of clearing out, cleaning up and figuring out what goes where. At least once I get this blog straightened away no can mess it up except me. (That’s not to say that every post will be in the following format, but most will.)

Without further ado, I introduce to you my new format! I stole it from my guidebook to cross-country ski trails. Sneaky, huh?

When you head into the woods, it is hard to know what to expect--the environment is so dynamic.

Regardless of the temperature or the visibility, we like to talk about how other critters handle winter. How do they stay warm? What do they eat? Where are they?

Caught with our pants down

Well, not quite, but we had just put them on.

A couple weekends ago my family and I were soaking in the Boiling River in Yellowstone, as we like to do. It's a great way for the kids to get in a little activity before we plop them in the ski trailer for a couple hours. Plus, soaking in hot springs is one of the greatest treats in the world.
