The Diary of a Happy Mom: 40 and Beyond

The trials and tribulations of an adventurous modern mom

Changing seasons

Snowy pumpkin

It snowed last night. Today I woke up to a whole world sprinkled in a light dusting of white. It was spectacular. I love the snowy pumpkin as for me it represents the imminent arrival of winter that isn’t too far away. We are still caught in between the seasons of fall and winter. Kind of like my life is feeling right now. Uncertain.

No more words for today’s post. I committed myself to NaBloPoMo and have to post something every day for the entire month of November. It is hard to be under pressure but once again it is freeing to use this space right now for what ever seems to be on my mind. We will see what tomorrow brings.

Since we just had a record snowstorm and blizzard here in Minneapolis and we are covered in over a foot of snow in mid-April, I needed some inspiration that someday we will have spring and spring flowers. Until then I will call this season “Sprinter”.
There is something absolutely magical about being above the clouds, and there is no place better place to get such an out of this world view of the ever changing colors and light at sunset than at Shira Camp on Kilimanjaro. Shira Camp lies high above the tree line at 12,600 ft (3840 m) affording awe-inspiring views of the cloud-covered forest below. It is by far one of the most beautiful camps on the entire climb. I am longing to go back. Snapped July 2015.
Since Spring seems to be a very long way off here in unseasonably cold and snowy Minnesota, I decided to create my own magic. This is a colorful variation of a photo I took three years ago while riding a small boat off the shores of Granada, Nicaragua at sunset. I hired a tour of Las Isletas -a series of islands within the lake- and captured this beautiful sunset. I added some sparkle to it to create this image. I thought it was quite fun! ✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨Here is to adding more magic and sparkle in your life!
Skiing and boarding @vailmtn has been epic. It has been a wonderful way to spend quality family time together and I’m happy to say I can still keep up with my kids! Actually they still can’t catch ME! 😌Last day enjoying the robin blue skies and magical white slopes of the Rockies. ⛷🏂🏔Thanks to @explorergurl_fx and @spoken_art_sb for giving me the idea to play around a bit with my shot. ✨✨✨
After such a long cold winter in Minnesota I was feeling a little glum about going on spring break with more snow. Yet the beauty of the mountains never fails to warm my heart and inspire my soul. Yesterday we skied the back bowls of Vail and had the whole place to ourselves! It was gorgeous albeit a little sticky snow towards midday. We will see how much faster I can go today with newly waxed skis! 🤩
#tbt To last Christmas in San Diego at my favorite place, Torrey Pines State Reserve in San Diego. I am such a sunset girl that I love the California coast and its boundless beauty, beaches and nature. Someday I want to take a drive up coast all the way to San Francisco and hit all the parks and beaches along the way. A dream of mine! Until then... ✨🌟✨🌟✨
