Al Fresco Dining

One sure sign that the warm weather is here to stay is when we start eating dinner outside. It is such a simple ritual, but yet seems so elegant and special. Our backyard seems to have a serene feeling as the day winds down at dinner time. We go from the craziness & giggles with friends & games in the bright afternoon sun to a relaxed state during the sweet light at the end of the day.  It is not uncommon for us to spot a turkey or two from the deck, and it is almost routine to see the gang of five deer dash through the yard as we are eating. We feel more connected to the outdoors and with each other as we enjoy our meals as a family.

First Post

So I have decided to start a blog! Welcome to 3 Mountain Girls.  The three girls being my daughters, Marlee and Mya, and me (Lori).  We live in the mountains of NC and enjoy the wonders and beauty of this area.  We spend a lot of our time outdoors and enjoy crafting, imaginitive play, and seizing every opportunity to learn something new about the world around us.  As a mom, I try to lead by example with healthy and simple living (sometimes it is not so simple)!
I will use this blog to journal our experiences as the girls and I (and their father will make some appearences as well) grow and learn together as a family and as individuals.
