One year ago: we lived in a different house, a different state.  Now it seems like a different world.  So many years come to an end, and I am amazed [disgruntled] at how little has changed in my life.  This year I am amazed [loving] all the change.   We talk alot about our adventures…

There are all sorts of Holiday goodies going on around this house.  And lots of family here too!  So we are taking a break from the blogging world and spending time with people. Which is what we are about here at the Kid Project anyways!  So get off our site and go talk with someone…

When I became a mom, winter brought a whole host of worries. See, babies cannot really tell you when they are cold. They are also much more difficult to keep warm when outdoors, because unlike us, they aren’t skiing or snowshoeing or burning massive amounts of energy. Here is what works for us: JJ Cole…

It can be done. How? Point your skis in the right direction. Point THEIR skis in the right direction. Grab on. Stupid things I’ve done? Don’t forget gloves or mittens.  One warm sunny day I grabbed that rope with my bare hands.  Stupid. Make sure squeezing the kid with your knees and have them rap…

This post sort of has to do with keeping warm, sort of. [And I know I promised a weeks worth of "staying warm" posts.] But lets face it- this is more than a gear review…cause there is only so much you can review about a hat. Either it fits, or not.  Either it itched, or…

This week has been cold!  And in honor of the season we are posting a weeks worth of reviews, tips, and info on keeping the kids and babies warm! I grew up skiing. I would venture on saying it was a family religion. And because of it, winter was always my favorite season…until I had…

We’ve made the short trek up to Alta the last couple weekends to take the kids skiing. It has been a blast and there were lots of other parents joining us on the endeavor with their kids. All ages, all sizes. Some parents cheered us on, mentioning how they didn’t start their kids till they…

And the winner is comment #3: Amanda Kelly! You will be contacted shortly. Congrats from our house to yours! -the Ericksons  

Call it a small pet peeve, call it a large one. Probably a large one…here it is: I hate it when people are fake. Similarly, I hate the thought of presenting an image that is incomplete or misleading. And here is the thing. In this place called the Internet we can manufacture an appearance. We…

Remember the Seven Sling Giveaway comes to an end tomorrow at 12pm.  Pass it on to your pregnant friends! Have a great day! -the Ericksons

We went up to Alta Ski Resort this morning. And this time our 5 year old asked politely, “Can you please not forget my boots this time?” Check. Boots in the car. In fact, the only thing I forgot was my sunglasses. But that seemed minor in comparison to last time. The best part of…

A few things about us: 1. we aren’t a stroller family 2. we are habitual “baby-wearers” when the kids are young but 3. I am a sceptic when it comes to baby slings. I learned this week, though, that the Seven Sling has a place in my baby gear repertoire! (FYI, my youngest child is…

I snapped this shot as the sun emerged over the horizon, on our 14 hour road trip to Oregon.  We’d been on the road for 3 hours, survived black ice (and I do mean survived), beat out a snow storm, and fought the nausea that accompanies early morning hunger. Overall our trip went smooth. I…
