“We’re on the same team” – [the girly side of things]

Article Series, Made for Adventure Marriage, Marriage by alyssa on February 29, 2012

My marriage gets mixed up, turned around and in-side-out ALL the time. And I am guessing yours does to. The circumstances aren’t necessarily epic…but the heat is turned up all the same. Perhaps you disagree on which family to visit for Christmas. Perhaps you are trying to get out the door and one baby is…

Growing Your Spouse [from the man cave]

Article Series, Made for Adventure Marriage, Marriage by chris on February 28, 2012

The is the second week of our blogging double header with Bring The Kids! We are talking about how to thrive in our marriages. So keep coming back! Several years ago, my wife would frequently say that she felt as though she had no hobbies. She didn’t know who she was anymore. That she’d been…

Giving Him License to Fail – [the girly side of things]

Article Series, Made for Adventure Marriage, Marriage by alyssa on February 27, 2012

Welcome back to A “Made for Adventure” Marriage! Last week we had some great discussion on what is means to fight for your spouse, pursuing each other’s hearts, and keeping the passion alive. We also encouraged couples to make those date nights a priority and invest in quality time together. Today I am sharing a post from a…

Stirring Passion in Marriage [from the man cave]

Made for Adventure Marriage, Marriage, The Big Picture by chris on February 20, 2012

Thanks for joining us for part 1 in our series called A “Made for Adventure” Marriage.  Many, many people reach the end of their parenting years and realize one morning, sitting at the table that they don’t know the person across from them anymore. There is no love or passion. That thought terrifies me. I…

A “Made for Adventure” Marriage – an invitation

Article Series, Made for Adventure Marriage, Marriage, Parenting, The Big Picture by alyssa on February 17, 2012

Here at The Kid Project we love family! We love kids and the outdoors and all [well...most] of what goes along with it. So this next week we are starting a series on marriage. What does marriage have to do with the outdoors? Nothing and everything I suppose. But our marriages do have everything to do…

Amber Artisan’s Teething Necklaces [Review and Giveaway!]

Gear Reviews, Give aways, Parenting by alyssa on February 14, 2012

I don’t really know how to start this review because it is SO subjective, and I really have no proof.  So instead I’ll tell you the story of how I stumbled upon the Amber Artisans and their teething necklaces for baby. At the beginning of January another attack of the teething monster erupted in the…

Snowbird vs. Alta for tiny tots

Destinations, Outdoor Practicals by alyssa on February 9, 2012

I grew up skiing Winter Park Resort every weekend and hearing everyone rave about the beginner terrain. Not being a beginner or an instructor, this meant nothing to me. And the whole beginner terrain thing meant “boring!” Until this season. Well, now we live in Utah, far from Winter Park land and so we began…

Trip Report: Freestyle World Cup Aerials

Destinations, The Big Picture by alyssa on February 6, 2012

Sometimes it amazes me what I will do out of sentiment. It’s not that I don’t love freestyle skiing in itself — I do. However, much of what I love is the feelings, memories, emotions and experiences I had growing up and living in the “freestyle” world during my teen-years. So when the 2012 VISA…

Chocolate cookbook giveaway! [Lemon Poppy Inc.]

Give aways, Parenting, Recipes by alyssa on February 1, 2012

I am not a cook. But I like food . I am not a baker. But I love desserts! I am more comfortable belaying my kids while they rock climb than making their birthday cake!  I am not one of those moms with crazy creative food ideas for my family. But I want to be! And…
