The perfect escape

May 17, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“Our aspirations are out possibilities” – Samuel Johnson When I’m feeling stressed or disconnected with life, there is one escape that has always brought me home. Travel. Traveling has been one of the most important aspects of my life besides parenthood and marriage. It has inspired me, challenged me and brought me to understand not only myself better but this amazing world we live in. If I can’t travel, then the next best escape for me is nature. I adore […]

Moonlighting at Moonlight Basin

April 8, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Author’s note: This is my last post on our recent family vacation to Big Sky, Montana. To see other posts on Montana, click here. Mid-week during our ski trip to Montana we opted to try out neighboring Moonlight Basin ski resort. Known as Big Sky’s little sister, Moonlight Basin is smaller, cheaper and humbler yet in my opinion equally if not more beautiful and pristine. We spent a wonderful day skiing there with our dear friends who joined us on […]

Finding liberation at Liberty Bowl

April 3, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“We have always been dreamers in Montana”. – Brian Schweitzer Day three skiing at Big Sky meant it was time to pick it up a notch and hit the bowls. There is nothing more liberating and invigorating than physically challenging your body. It was time to hit the blacks. We traveled with another family to Montana and my friend and I rode the gondola up to the top to hit the back bowls. It was another sensational, postcard perfect day. […]

Big Sky Bliss

April 2, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“I’m in love with Montana. For other States I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it”. – John Steinbeck I have always loved mountains for as long as I can remember. Starting at the mere age of three, I begin skiing with my parents which over the years blossomed into a life long love of downhill skiing. Today, decades later I’m in my parents […]

Home in the mountains

March 31, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Yesterday we left for a long awaited vacation and I can’t tell you how incredibly ready I was to get out of town. The last few weeks have been a bit difficult especially given our recent family stint with the stomach flu. Spring has not even attempted to visit and the weather has been unseasonably cold. All in all, my spirits were sinking and it was time to leave.

Unforgettable day

February 17, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Today was an unforgettable day on the slopes. The sky was a brilliant knock-out blue and the sun was beaming down with joy. We rose feeling a little stiffer after a hard day of skiing but excited for the anticipated adrenaline rush that was before us. In my opinion, there is nothing better than flying down the mountain at lightening speed with the wind whipping in your face. It is the closest I feel to being 20 again. Here are […]

The Sunday Post: Wonderful

November 4, 2012 by thirdeyemom

“Only count the sunny days” – Anonymous Maybe it is due to the weather. The graying skies and the barren trees are making me feel a bit gloomy. I hate gray. I detest a day without the sun shining. Although I live in a cold climate, I find the warmer, grayer month of November to be deeply bland and moody. Ironically enough December is usually beautiful. It may be colder but we generally have snow and sun, the perfect combination […]

Passing the honor

July 18, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Two fellow bloggers, Jennifer Avventura of My Sardinian Life | La Mia Vita Sarda and Emma of Emma’s Life Unravel recently passed the baton over to my blogs thirdeyemom and thethirdeyeworld for the Inspiring Blog Award. I must say that I’m very flattered to receive this award but I am more excited to pass it on to new bloggers that I’ve found. So I’m going to break the rules a bit and skip the part of telling “7 things about myself” and instead add my own twist….. I’m going to […]

Weekly Image of Life: Adventure

July 12, 2012 by thirdeyemom

“One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.” — William Feather This week’s theme for the Weekly Image of Life by the Island Traveler is one near and dear to my heart. Adventure. I searched the online dictionaries on the web to see how they defined adventure and here are some of my favorites. ad•ven•tureædˈvɛn tʃər(n.; v.)-tured, -tur•ing. An exciting or very unusual experience. Participation in exciting undertakings or enterprises: the spirit of […]

A three generational ski trip

February 20, 2012 by thirdeyemom

As you have probably gathered from my last few posts, I did something very special over the last few days. Me, my father and my five-year-old daughter Sophia took a three-generational ski trip to Taos, New Mexico. It was the first time (except when Sophia was a meager four-months old) that I had ever truly traveled alone with my daughter and it also was the first time the three generations got together for a weekend away. My son and husband […]
