Beach in November?
That's right. It was so warm out today I wore flip flops. Okay, so I also don't like to search for matching socks, but it was definitely warm enough for my flip flops! We went to the beach down the street to do some digging and building. The kids made animal sculptures in the sand, chased down seagulls and we found a couple of lobster tails.
Here's to today not being the last day I bury my feet in the sand this year!

Pinecones
We have had great fun in our outdoor playgroup lately. Five years after my first outdoor playgroup with my first-born daughter, I’m starting a new group in a new neighborhood with my second daughter. Last Monday we had fun collecting pinecones on our hike and decorating them.
Gear for Winter - Beyond Coats and Mittens
As you already know, we love to get outside. Going outside can be as uncomplicated and cheap as taking a walk around the block and as complicated and expensive as going on a ski vacation.

When I was seven years old my parents took me on a trip to the Swedish mountains and I tried downhill skiing for the first time. I remember it was really difficult but also really fun. Since then my family went on ski vacations every year to different ski resorts in the northern part of Sweden. Just being together as a family those weeks and having fun outside all day are some of my most precious memories from my childhood. I have many lovely memories of skiing in the piste (trail) and off-piste in the forest, singing in the lift, drinking hot chocolate and having a traditional sauna after a whole day of skiing.
