New Momma Survival Is Getting a Makeover!

I am so excited and nervous to announce that I am FINALLY rebranding my blog. This is something I have been wanting to do for over a year! It was always intimidating to me and I wasn’t exactly sure the direction I wanted to take.

If you have been following along, you know we just moved from Denver to Whitefish, Montana a week before Christmas. As the boxes are almost all unpacked and we are joyfully settling into our first home and our new town, it is time for a fresh new start.

I have to admit that I find myself day dreaming and staring at the huge evergreens and mountains in the distance daily. I am so inspired to write, create and explore like never before but I have been easily distracted by the beauty of our own backyard. This little space is going to be what I always dreamt it would. I am ready to take the plunge and introduce to you my new blog!

My Mountain Wild

I am no artist by any means, so my logo may be getting tweaked here and there. But it works for now! (Let me know if you see the symbolism in the drawing! It’s not just a random sketch, it has a whole lot of meaning behind it!)

I want to share with families that no matter where you live, you can get outside with your kids. I want to stress the importance of letting your kids explore nature and dig in the dirt, while saving your sanity as I spill my tips that I have learned these past few years. From party-planning and home decorating to trying out gardening for the first time… I will be sharing all things home-related (including some DIY home renovations we plan to tackle over the next couple of years). Follow me on this journey as I learn how to raise chickens, grow vegetables, and make recipes from my harvests.

We are also getting MARRIED this August so I will be sharing that planning process as well. (Think boho chic backyard wedding!) I will still have a focus on supporting small shops and all brands that we love and use on the daily. From bed linens to our favorite camping gear to the best toys and our frequently bought snacks… I love to recommend the best products with you all!

My love for affordable fashion will still be shared, and I want to start a series on YouTube of my thrifting finds and tricks. ( I share my thrift-store finds on Instagram). Stay tuned for a VERY exciting addition to my blog coming this Summer! Hint: It has to do with thrifting!

Join me as we embrace our new mountain life. I want to share what I know and learn from others. I hope to grow a small community of women that are looking to simplify their lives, make it beautiful, and on a budget.

We moved out of the city to slow down but I have so many ideas and so much to share with you all, I think it’s going to be a busy year!

Please stick around, email me with ANY ideas, suggestions, or questions, and THANK YOU for your support!

EVERY comment, share, like etc. helps me grow and keep this blog going. It means so much to me and I love getting to know each and every one of you. This has been a wild ride and I am just so excited to see where The Simple Mountain Life takes us!

XOXO,

Nat

I have grown to really love Winter, and get excite I have grown to really love Winter, and get excited with each snow fall. But I am already dreaming of being barefoot in the grass and foraging for herbs in the forest. There's nothing better than a late Spring breeze blowing through an open window and watching the forest explode with color and life. We still have a few more months before I can enjoy those things, so until then, I'll try to savor the cozy days of hot tea, cookies, crunchy snowy walks, and candle light. 
Are you itching for Spring already or happy with the snow?

We lost power for most of the day yesterday becaus We lost power for most of the day yesterday because of a windstorm. It's kind of like our snow day when this happens, so we spent the day making a fort in the living room, reading books and playing games. It was the perfect cozy day to bring out our latest @literatikids box. This month's box was by far Liam's favorite so far. (I'll show you what we got in my stories today) 
Our favorite monthly surprise, @literatikids has been sending us some really amazing and beautiful books to add to our little library. Head to the link in my bio if you are interested in 25% off your first box! Signing up is super easy. You choose which club your kiddo would fall into (books are chosen by age and reading level) then the 5 hand-selected books arrive at your door! You get a week to try out the books, then send what you don't want back for free. So far we have loved every book we have received! 📚 
When the power came back on last night, Liam and I were actually bummed😆 I love having a tech-free day and he loves building forts and using candles for light. He also loves when I cook a meal with our camp stove at home. It was nice to have running water again, though. That I definitely missed!

Have you ever put together a book basket? I use t Have you ever put together a book basket? 
I use to do these a lot when my son was a toddler and I decided to  make one today for #mtnwildstorytime to see how my 8 year old would like it. I was very surprised that he really loved it!! Even though everything in this basket are items we already own, it all seemed new and novel to him presented in a basket. Easiest story time ever! You can make these book baskets with any picture book, and I already have about a dozen ideas to share with you! Gather up things around your house that fit the theme or setting of the book. This could be a snack mentioned in the book, toys of the characters, coloring pages, seasonal items.... 
I gathered up some bear and wolf stuffed animals, wood toys, plastic toy animals, and paper masks. 
While we read through Bear and Wolf by Daniel Salmieri, my kiddo played with the bear and wolf toys and pulled out his rock collection and toy trees and set up a little forest scene. This story takes place during the Winter, so he took some white felt and laid that on the ground for snow. Then he decided he wanted to read through his wolf facts book (wolves are his favorite animal) and we watched some educational videos online about bears and wolves.  It was a long story time but the best one we have had in awhile. 
Happy reading ! 📚

Thank you @experience_soar for sending me your CBD Thank you @experience_soar for sending me your CBD tincture duo! [#gifted] 
I need all the harmony I can get right now 🙏 
The energy enhancement tincture is peppermint and tastes real good in my morning coffee 😁 The sleep secured tincture is lemon flavored and perfect in a hot cup of chamomile at the end of a long day. The harmony blend doesn't have a flavor so can be added really to anything.  You can put a dropperful right under your tongue but I prefer adding it to beverages, myself.

I'm curious, do you use CBD daily, occasionally, or never ? (Topical or tinctures)
