Winter Blast

Happy Friday to you! I’ve been so anxious for this weekend to get here that I’ve been turned around all week as to what day it actually was. I kept thinking to myself, “Is it Friday? Feels like Friday!” Now that it’s finally here, I’m all packed up and ready to zip off to Lutsen, MN for our annual ski weekend away with friends. The Lutsen Mountains–yes, I know you’re probably incredulously thinking to yourself ‘Minnesota has mountains?’ And believe it or not, geographically they are considered mountains. Anywho, Lutsen Mountains have received 98″ of natural snow so far this year, and the temps are supposed to be above zero–hallelujah!– it’s going to be a great weekend for skiing, cozy fires, ping-pong, hot-tubbing, and all around winter fun. Follow me on Instagram for updates throughout the weekend at @francoisetmoiblog. Now go enjoy that weekend! Shop My Packing List: Hat: Everest Designs | Cable Knit Sweater: L.L.

In anticipation of the laughable amounts of snow that would inevitably “shut down” our brave city several days every winter, our school district’s calendar year was always a few days longer, than schools to the south of us, to account for such weather related cancelations. And though we used the term “shut down,” we hardly let extreme weather stop us from getting out and reveling in our transformed city’s fresh snowfall. Now that I’m older and have moved away, snow days are fewer and far between, so Ken and I make a concerted effort to enjoy the snow when we can, especially on the weekends. Last Sunday, it snowed all day, so we decided to hit our neighborhood ski hill to enjoy the snowfall and get our “ski legs” back for our annual Lutsen ski trip later this winter. To wrap up all this snow […]
