go

a quick note – you might notice the blog looks a little different. well, the new year always puts me in the mood to organize, and since i was baking a baby in january, my efforts have been a little delayed this year. i’m trying to pare down at home, and it’s no different here. i’ve tried to put some of the more popular posts in easy-to-get-to areas so they can be found quickly. it’s a work in progress for both, and if you’ve got a suggestion, pipe up – i’d love to hear it. now, onto regular business…

we are currently buried in snow, with more to come tomorrow – enough already! thursday brought white-out conditions, and i was thankful that our little family could stay safe at home and just watch it come down. it was really like a mountain snow – you know when you’re at the top of a ski slope and it just starts dumping and the wind kicks up and then you can’t see? ok, maybe i have just had the misfortune to have had that happen. i heard that the official measurement for kansas city was 13 inches, which is more than we’ve had in two years, and it was kind of fun to have a good old-fashioned snow day. well, all this snow has me daydreaming about a little adventure to a place called the basecamp hotel in south lake tahoe. equal parts funky and rustic, it looks like a great place to add to our must-do list for either summer or winter – or both!
