MONT TREMBLANT

When we first decided we wanted to go away the week between Christmas and New Year's, I was imagining somewhere warm by the beach. As my mom would say, I have champagne taste and a beer budget. After doing lots of research and realizing it wasn't in the cards this year, I shifted to planning a ski trip. I thought of Mt. Tremblant because although it is in driving distance from where we live in NY, it has a European vibe. Before this trip, I was only there once, about 20 years ago (crazy to think it's been that long!). I knew the quaint village would have a lot to offer my non-skiing husband. Then I reached out to another family we love and asked them if they wanted to join...they said yes and a plan came to fruition!

WHERE WE STAYED

There are several hotels and condos at the base of the mountain that are ski-in and ski-out. By the time I was planning this strip (around October) they were already booked. The first time I went to Tremblant I stayed at the Westin. I remember they had this amazing huge outdoor hot tub/pool. The Fairmont is another super nice property there. We ended up staying at an AirBnb, which was perfect for our two families. It had plenty of room, a cozy fireplace, a game room for the kids, and a hot tub which we all enjoyed. 


WHERE WE ATE

On our way there, we met our friends about an hour outside Tremblant at Sucrerie de la Montagne, an authentic "sugar shack" where they make their own maple syrup. It was like stepping back in time as we toured the grounds and enjoyed a traditional meal. This was a special experience. I'm not sure the kids appreciated it, but the adults sure did. This was something Brian really wanted to do; kudos to him for setting it up. 
There are so many great restaurants in Mt. Tremblant to choose from. Our cousin's friend has a family home there so she sent us some recommendations in advance of our trip. At the base of the mountain we enjoyed meals at Lucille's, La Diable, and Le Shack. The adults enjoyed apres ski at Le Shack and Caribou. Caribou was a scene! We went there while the kids were in laser tag. It reminded me of when I was in my 20s and did more apres skiing than actual skiing. It's really nice that the kids are older now and we're able to leave them alone for a bit. We enjoyed an adults only dinner at Le Petite Cachee in Old Quebec Village. The service, food, and ambiance was outstanding.
On our last day, Laura and her friend didn't feel like skiing so they had lunch with Brian at this Ramen restaurant. I don't remember the name of it, but it was "the BEST meal ever."
Happy Girls
There was also lots of hot chocolate and maple taffy,
And of course, poutine...which reminded me of late nights at the diner eating cheese fries and gravy.
SKIING
The conditions weren't ideal, but we made the best of it and had some great runs. I'm always nervous on our first ski day of the season, but we all did great (myself included if I do say so!). 
 
Love my Apres Ski sweater from LOFT....today it's only $18!

We had a great trip! Hopefully we get back there again someday. I'm not an expert, but if you have any questions about visiting Mt. Tremblant, feel free to reach out. Happy New Year!

                                   It has been a BUSY but fun couple of weeks around here. Today is my last day of work for awhile and I'm hoping to enjoy some down time as we head into August. I have lots of favorites to share this Friday start with... 1. ENGLISH FACTORY DRESSES: My friend has this dress and it's adorable on her. I had my eye on it for awhile and pulled the trigger when it went sale. I can't wait to wear it this weekend! Sunni Color Block Dress 2. BASEBALL LIFESTYLE : My son Jack is very into this Baseball Lifestyle 101 brand. It's all the rage with the baseball players. He typically wears hand me downs so I treated him to these shorts in blue and pink and the short sleeve hoodie. Baseball Shorts 3. CHERRIES: My obsession with cherries continues. I picked up this straw bag at a local boutique, a cute tank at Old Navy, and some fun items at Five Below.  Old Navy Cherry Tank ...

August 22, 2025 1. GIRL TIME: I spent a few days in the Hamptons with my mom this week. Brian and the kids stayed home since sports have already kicked off. Even though Mom lives with us now, we haven’t had much one-on-one time, so it was really nice to catch up. My friend Carrie was also out there solo, so we squeezed in lots of shopping! Such a nice little break before the craziness starts next week. 2. OOFOS flip flops: One of my neighbors has these and swears by them. I bought them in black and have to admit, they are VERY comfortable. I expect to be wearing these to lost of games in the fall.  Oofos Original Sandal 3. NEW RUGS: Carrie and I were both on the hunt for rugs and I ended up finding this beautiful blue one at HomeSense. The navy, red, and white rug is from Pottery Barn, and I scored it for an amazing deal on Facebook Marketplace! 3. TUCKERNUCK SAMPLE SALE: The semi-annual Tuckernuck sample sale is live and it's sooooo good. There were so many pieces I loved but I...

LOW LEVEL GOALS FOR 2025 Today I'm linking up with Erika to share our goals for 2024. I like that they are calling these "low level" goals because I don't want to set myself up for failure. I've made the mistake in previous years of setting lofty goals that weren't attainable. So here we go.... Read 25 Books in 2025: Last year I wanted to read 24 books in 2024 and I fell a little short. I think I read about 20. But this year I'm committed. I really enjoy reading so it shouldn't be too hard. The issue is finding the time. We have a vacation planned in April and I love to read on vacation. I also love hunkering down under a blanket with a good book during the colder months.  Take Online Classes: I'm a teacher and our district offers pay increases every time you earn an additional 30 credits up to 120 credits. This year my goal is to earn 30 credits (10 classes) before September 1st. A couple of years ago I earned my first 30 and I've slacking...
