Here are some photos and a vlog (watch it HERE!) from our sledding trip up in Stowe! I never knew Vermont was such a cute place, we loved it! When we were packing for this trip I knew it was only going to be a couple days but I somehow filled my suitcase with the least important items needed for a snow trip (I only brought one pair of LEGGINGS – not even jeans – who am i? I was a little too tired while packing) so when we got there we did a trip to a ski store to get some snow pants for all of us and some mittens that would actually stay on Atticus. I overpacked for a two day trip but it was our first time using packing cubes (I ordered these) and I am kinda obsessed with them now. We got a different color for each family member and it definitely kept our hotel cleaner. We stayed at the Field Guide and all the rooms had fireplaces which is a must for a snow trip. I so wish we had a fireplace in our apartment at home!
I am so happy its the weekend! I am meeting up with some girlfriends and their babies today, we are hanging some new shelves in the nursery, we just got our DINING table in (first time David and I have ever had an actual table to eat at ha) so we will probably have some family dinners finally, I will be organizing my closet, and Sunday we leave for DISNEY WORLD! I hope you all have an amazing weekend! xo
Hi Amber!
Do you have a reccomeneation on where to stay in Stowe?
Thanks !
Hello Amber! I follow quite a few bloggers but none bring me the joy I get when I read through yours. You family life is inspiring. Your ability to juggle motherhood, being a wife, and everyday adventures give me much hope that I can one day do the same. Keep that beautiful smile on, and continue to share such sweet memories of your everyday life with us. It truly is up-lifting.
XOXO!

Thank you!! I used a curling iron 🙂 xo
I simply love your posts!!! Your kids are simply beautiful, congrats! I have a 8 week old baby boy, first baby…I would love to continue traveling like I use to and I just loving seeing you taking your babies everywhere. As a first time mother, how was like your first trip away? Would you go to Caribbean lets say, with a 5 month old baby? How early is too early for this kind of vacation? I’m a first time mom, really nervous about first far away trip, we really want to go away but feel nervous about it. I want to hear hour insight ????
Thanks in advance xoxoxox
Thank you so much!! You are too kind! 🙂 And yes!! You could totally do it! 5 months is a good age. I honestly think it is easier with a baby rather than a toddler because they can’t run around haha so go for it now! Check out my post with tips for traveling with a baby, I linked it below! Good luck!! xoxo

Hey girl! Not related to this post at all, but can you tell me if you liked the waist trainer you were thinking of getting for post baby?? And what size you got??!! I’m trying to do some research and would love to know your thoughts! xoxo – elissa
Hi love!! No worries! I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/Colrovie-Womens-Training-Cinchers-Shapewear/dp/B010A5GO6S/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1444360893&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=pregnancy+waist+trainer&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011&tag=wwwshopstylec-20&ascsubtag=1828197717&tag=wwwshopstylec-20

Wow thank you!! That’s so nice of you!! 🙂
Sorry to leave another comment, but I keep trying to fill out your contact form and I can’t seem to get the message to go through because of a validation error. Every time I answer the math question I can’t type in the box. Would you be able to give me your email address? I just had a couple of questions 🙂 thanks!
Oh that is weird!! I am not sure why it is doing that.. my email is contact@barefootblonde.com xoxo
I’ve been so crazy busy lately that I haven’t been able to sit down and read your posts for weeks! Which is depressing to me because I love reading what you have to say haha I finally got all caught up, I definitely missed reading. I’m so glad to see that you guys are doing well. Oh and I am SO JELOUS that you’ll be going to Disney World. I’m obsessed with Disney everything. I wish I could afford a spontaneous trip there so I could meet you &be in the best place ever! You’re probably be so creeped out by me now, I am so sorry haha I hope you guys have tons of fun!
xo, Jany
Aww you are so cute!! I am so glad you got to catch up 🙂 And yes!! We loved Disney World!! So so fun!!

Amber I love all the pics of your sweet kids and all the adventures you have! But I can’t help but notice the forward facing infant seat in the last pic. Maybe it’s not installed, at least I hope not! Actually both car seats are forward facing. Did you know its 502% safer to keep kids under 2 rearfacing in their car seats. Also infant seats aren’t designed to face forward. I just had a friend who lost her fiancé in a car accident, the first responders said no one should have survived, but her 15 month old was unscratched and they said it was due to proper car seat use and still rearfacing him. Please please please look into the manuals for their carseats, make sure their straps are coming from behind them for rear facing and above their shoulders when forward facing. Also make sure the chest clip is at shoulder level as to protect their organs in a crash. Car seat safety is so important and youre such an advocate for young families! You would be the perfect spokes person for car seats. You’re babies are adorable.
The carseat was just set in there and not installed yet! He is always rear facing 🙂 thank you for your concern though! xo
So much adorable-ness!!! I loved the VLOG…it’s so fun to see you all on trips and see how you all making the best family moments ever!! SO glad it ended with a snowfall…way cute! Enjoy Disney and hope to see more VLOGS! 🙂 All the best!

Thank you so much!! I am so happy you liked the post 🙂 xoxo
When I studied abroad in Italy, my family came to visit and we somehow ended up with a Sprinter van from the rental place, ha! It was completely frightening trying to navigate tiny Italian streets with that thing, but we all fell in love with the vehicle! It’s the ultimate road tripping car. Let’s just say that my father was extremely excited when they recently came to the US market 🙂
Oh my gosh I can only imagine!! That van would be so hard on tiny roads haha! But I bet it was so fun to have everyone in one car road tripping 🙂
Wow looks like an awesome trip! You are definitely pulling off momma of two!! A and Rosie look sooo much alike I love it!
Thanks love!! You are the nicest!! xoxo
Such a cute post! I’ve always wanted to go to Vermont, it looks so pretty! Definitely a spot for a blogger haha 🙂
BTW where is your lime green jacket from, the one in your Vermont vlog? It is super cute! I couldn’t find it linked here on your blog, sorry if I missed it!

Hey Amber! I’ve been wondering…. What do you use to whiten your teeth? I’m a BIG fan of your blog! You and your sweet family are perfect 🙂
Hi love!! Thanks so much!! And I use Crest White Strips 🙂
What camera do you use to take your pictures?

Thanks so much!! Atticus loved Disney, he was in heaven haha! 🙂
Wow, this looks like tons of fun! I really love your account! Every time i look at your pics it reminds me to just explore and have more
fun with my two little kids. I absolute adore your attitude of not taking everything too serious, making the best of yourself (especially as a mama) and every day you spend with your family! Thank you for being so inspiring!
Thank you so much!! I am so glad to hear that 😉 You seriously are too kind and totally made my day!! I love hearing from other mamas! xo
Two of my favorite blogging families! I love it!
Yay!! Thank you 🙂
HI AMBER,
I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE YOUR FAMILY, STYLE, LIFE, EVERYTHING. YOU ARE TRULY INSPIRING. IM TRYING TO GET INTO PHOTOGRAPHY AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT YOU USE TO EDIT YOUR PICTURES? THEY ARE SO CUTE AND IVE BEEN LOOKIG FOR A GOOD EDITING WEBSITE.
THANKS SO MUCH! XOXO
Thank you so much!! How nice of you 🙂 I am so glad you follow along!!
Oh and I use a program called Lightroom to edit my pictures!! xo
This looks like such a fun trip! So sweet, and I love your Northface jacket! I’m been trying to decide between one just like that or a puffy Patagonia one … Love the color of yours!
Chelcey | http://www.chelceytate.com
Thanks so much!! We had a bast 🙂 And I don’t think you can go wrong with either jacket!! I hope you find one you love!
OMG so many activities! You are always on the way to somewhere hahaha
For your tires arms I recommend a good ergo carrier. They are super comfortable because the weight is so evenly distributed. And when they get to big you can always carry them on your back! Hope it helps
Xxxx
Haha yes! We love to stay busy and explore new places! 🙂 And yes! We have an Ergo, thanks so much!! xo
I love this!! So cute, your family is gorgeous 🙂

Your going to love Disney world! We live down in Jacksonville now! Make sure you go to the safari at animal kingdom! Atticus would totally love that!
We are so excited!!! Thanks for the suggestions!! I am sure he will love it 🙂
GOODNESS GRACIOUS THAT PICTURE OF ATTICUS BY THE FIRE PLACE. I cannot even handle it. I think I watched the vlog 3 times because of so much cuteness. The cartwheel, particularly, was my favourite part.
You should definitely look into getting a fireplace that you just plug into the wall, it’s pretty much a faux fire place (faux makes it sound fancier, ya?). That’s what we’re looking into! Cause fireplaces are just so dreamy.
Anywho, another lovely post! Hope you’re doing well, lovely!

You are too cute!!! Thanks so much!! I am so happy you liked the post and vlog yay!! And I have heard of those faux fireplaces, I would totally love that. I will look into it!! Thanks again for the comment!! xo
These pictures are just so sweet!! I love that beanie (toque)! I got my girlfriend the mitts for Christmas and she loved them I may have to go back and surprise her with the matching toque!
Thanks for sharing and have the best time in Disney World… your kids are going to be sooo excited!

“Will you end this? because I can’t with my mittens on.” Haha, i loved the vlog! Vermont is somewhere I’ve never visited. I’ll have to go sometime! Here in Arkansas we get our fair share of cold, but rarely snow! Hoping for some snow soon! Really enjoyed watching this sweet family video!

It was so gorgeous there, we loved it! 🙂 Thanks for the comment and have an amazing weekend!! xo
Looks like such a fun trip! Little kids bundled up in snow gear has to be one of the most precious things!
And growing up one of my friend’s family had a basically sprinter van (it wasn’t quite as big but maybe things have just gotten bigger over the years haha). They had a big family that all did sports and whenever we got to go in their car we thought it was the coolest thing EVER!!
xo Mary-Katherine | http://www.goldhattedlover.com
Oh girl, I know you’re probably hearing this enough but why is that carseat facing forward? Eek! Besides that, looks like an AMAZING time! The kiddies all look so cute in their snowsuits haha
Hey girl, those are actually front facing car seats belonging to our friend’s older, larger children;) Thanks for your concern though!
I leave for Disney World on Sunday too! I hope to see you there 🙂
No way!!! If you see us come say hi!! We would love it 🙂 And have a blast!! xo
I am sneaking into the bathroom to watch your vlog at work right now LOL ps. You can get portable fireplaces from target or costco that you just plug in. They sound so tacky but I wanted the fireplace upgrade in a house we are looking to build and it is SO expensive so I checked some out at target and they are actually really cute and its real gas fire and so much cheaper. Perfect for apartments!
XO JNESS
