Karins Kottage Happenings

Last week we had some friends come to stay for a few day and we had a blast!

We played pickle ball, headed up to park city and went on a bike ride, paddle boarded, went to a car show and the farmer’s market!

Our friend Kelly did amazing for her first time paddle boarding! It was like she had been doing it all her life!

My hubby has to do his yearly head stand on the paddle board!

Not bad for a 60 year old!

Our community hosts summer concerts all through out the summer on Fri and Sat nights. It is one of our favorite things to do. This band called the Ryan Shupe and the Rubber band is so entertaining!

Our little farmers market in our neighborhood is so fun to go to. There are a lot of craft booths but there are some fruits and vegetables stands as well.

We bought some yummy rainier cherries and they were so good!

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️

Travel for 15 days with only carryon luggage. My t Travel for 15 days with only carryon luggage. My two tone backpack is from Italy a few years ago but I found one similar in my LTK shop for you. 

My travel outfit tip- wear your denim jacket and raincoat to leave room in luggage. Loving this lightweight raincoat that is lined. It also fits great in my backpack.

White sneakers with leopard detail and super comfy and go with everything!
