Away

Just a little time alone, to linger over a chocolate croissant and a proper latte, made with the correct amount of dense foam does wonders for a busy mother.

A little trip up the mountain to this charming cabin with wood burning stoves to keep the frost away swept us from our sometimes monotonous routines at home.

Just a little drive up to a natural hot spring along birch tree-lined roads made us take another look at the wonders of Mother Nature.

Happening upon a woody and spirited snow-girl in the woods was as magical as magic can be.

Ice and snowy roads made the adventure up the mountain that much more alluring.

Taking a bit of time to rekindle a beloved hobby lifted his spirits.

To spend time together and rediscover ourselves amongst the radiant snow, mountain air and to enjoy time that was completely ours, was renewing in the best of ways.  I remember thinking, I will be a better mother having had some time away.
