Snow Bound

 What I wore last Friday as we headed to Big Bear for a weekend of snow and skiing....

Inspiration:


This was a perfect travel outfit. Comfy and cozy for a long ride...







Sweater, beret - Forever 21
Leggings - Cotton On
Boots - Target
Scarf - Hand made (gift from a family friend)

FRIDAY:
It was a crazy morning of running around packing and getting ready for the weekend.
My hubby couldn't join us due to tax season so I was going solo with the kids (and our group). Then my friend's husband got sick so she joined me for a carpool and we partnered as we managed the weekend with 2 kids each and no husbands!
Took turns driving up the mini van loaded with 4 kids and packed to the rim.
As we got to their school to pull them out early we found my daughter in the nurse's office sick!
Not a great way to start the weekend.
We got her all cozy in the 3rd row with pillows and blanket and she slept most of the ride up...
Then when we got to the mountain to pick up our cabin key my friend's daughter threw up!
Now we were very afraid as to how this was all going to turn out.
My daughter was truly out of it as she wanted to do nothing with snow when we arrived and just crashed on the bed so they all went out to dinner while I stayed with her and she threw up too!!

Amazingly though the next morning she woke up totally fine and skiied all day and had a blast.
We were so happy for the turnaround.
And the kids never wanted to be pulled out of ski school since they got to cut the long lines my friend and I skiied all day picking chairs with no lines and sometimes pushing our limit to the max... :)

The next morning the kids all played in the snow in the back yard of the cabin we rented for hours and we fed them lunch and changed them before heading back to San Diego...

When we first arrived at the cabin Friday afternoon:
 You can tell my daughter is so pale and not happy...




SATURDAY MORNING:

These guys are ready for ski school...

At the Summit

 This was my outfit Wednesday as we headed to Big Bear for a ski/snowboard getaway!

The inspiration was from this photo in 2014 issue of People Style Watch:




 My mom and step dad bought me this cute hat for Christmas…









Sweater - Forever 21
Plaid Shirt - Gap
Denim Leggings - Guess
Hat - BCBG
Boots - Target

WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY:
The kids and I joined our friends who have a cabin in Big Bear for a day in the snow…
Signed up the kids for ski/snowboard classes half the day while we skied and snowboarded. Then picked them up, had lunch and hit the slopes with them. The weird thing is I am a skier while my kids took snowboarding lessons and my friends are snow boarders and their kids took skiing lessons.
At the end of the day the kids were taking the chair lift on their own and coming down the green slopes on their own!





 First practice at the magic carpet bunny slope….







They they were ready for the green slope riding the real chair lift….
