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 […]

Under the New Mexican Sun: Four Hours in Albuquerque Part II

February 22, 2012 by thirdeyemom

This is part II of the series “Under the New Mexican Sun”. For part I, click here. My daughter Sophia and I truly enjoyed our morning at the fabulous Albuquerque Zoo where we were truly able to get up close and personal with the animals. Instead of a sad place, it was a happy environment full of life and in close contact with nature. There were several times when it was just Sophia, myself and the big, black hairy […]

Under the New Mexican Sun: Four hours in Albuquerque Part I

February 21, 2012 by thirdeyemom

We rose at the crack of dawn on Sunday morning to head back to Albuquerque where my dad would be catching an early morning flight. The sky was jet black and the tiny town of Taos was still fast asleep. As we followed along the Rio Grande, the sky began to brighten and turn from inky black to a pale, milky blue. Weather had come in and the royal blue sky of the last few days had disappeared. It was […]

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 […]

Skiing the Ridge

February 18, 2012 by thirdeyemom

It’s something of a paradox. The more untamed, untrampled a place, the more it seems to soothe the soul. Even as it races the heart. – Advertisement of skiing the Ridge in the Taos Visitor Guide. Taos Ski Valley view from Kachina Peak at the Ridge. A ski purist heaven that only recently opened its doors to snowboarding two years back. Today I became an official “Ridgehead”. I climbed and skied the Ridge, a no man’s land of off piste […]

Road trip out in the wild west: Albuquerque to Taos New Mexico

February 17, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Yesterday my five-year-old daughter Sophia and I left for our first three-generational ski trip. My father, me and Sophia headed west to test out the slopes in Taos, New Mexico. The last time I’d been to Taos was at least fifteen years ago, when my family and I took the ten-hour drive from Tucson to Taos in the “purple people-eater” minivan. (Don’t have any idea where the name came from but it stuck). Over the years, Taos has become quite […]
