The wonderful thing is that you two have the same pleasure together, good or bad weather. But snow in October?!! Those mozzarella sticks better be at their yummiest for you to leave the gorgeous lakeside condo on a day like that!<br />And I'm glad you're staying in the now and squaring up to Insta, it should be fun, not distracting from real life. Fortunately, I know so little about Insta that I've felt no pressure whatsoever!!

That's definitely something that I wish that we had down here! And I totally feel you on the Instagram battle! One thing that I try and do is to just take pictures/videos and then post them towards the end of the day or at a specific time. That way you can enjoy the moment. It's hard to keep Instagram "instant" with the girls around anyways.Ashley @ The Wandering Weekendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253908070346972965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162841902328353969.post-20701538036370097222018-10-23T12:43:57.331-04:002018-10-23T12:43:57.331-04:00It still looks like a beautiful place!

I love trips away with my husband, I enjoy spending time with him alone so much! But, I love when we are all together as a family with the kids, too!! You got some beautiful photos even with the yucky weather! It is nice to snuggle up and sleep in! I love your outfits and your coat! Instagram is such a huge, huge deal right now in the blogging world, but it also takes a ridiculous amount of time. I try to be present with my family, but I'll admit the temptation can be hard sometimes. Thanks for being real!!<br /><br />Carrie<br />curlycraftymom.comCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646332034591536363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162841902328353969.post-54216918020898507172018-10-23T10:22:34.468-04:002018-10-23T10:22:34.468-04:00I'm so sorry the weather didn't cooperate,...I'm so sorry the weather didn't cooperate, that always makes it so tough, especially when you have high hopes. I'm glad you were still able to relax and make the most of it. We were hoping to see some fall foliage this weekend on our camping trip and nothing but, green, green, or leaves already gone over here. I can completely understand about the instagram pressure. I think if you can let go of the pressure and use the app for what you want to get out of it, that's when it becomes fun. I only post when I can and try not to get caught up in having all pretty pictures or a cohesive feed. To be honest, I never post in real time. Not even my stories. If we're out somewhere I won't share until we're home or already in the car. It allows me to be more present and I just don't trust people, my kids safety will always come first. I know some that they let it control their life and share every moment, I just can't let it get to that point. I'm a big believer that your loyal followers will be there for you and catch up when they can. Not everyone has time to be on it 24/7, and that's ok. I love seeing your pics but hope it's also enjoyable for you! It's definitely a hard balancing act. Ok. longest comment, ever.

I love to see others but for me it is a chore that sucks the joy. I am living the autumn of my life in the present. Life isn't a dress rehearsal after all! At any rate you look fabulous and like it was still a memorable trip. We are heading up our beloved mountain home in a few days to spend a week and to celebrate the anniversary of when we met. I am like you and envision this idealistic romantic trip but will be prepared for real life to happen. Mostly I am excited to try out my new Ugg winter boots. How sick am I?!!!

Onto the second part about IG- first of all you are absolutely doing a fabulous job- all your posts are always gorgeous and I just want you to know that. But, I completely relate and understand how you're feeling. It can be hard when there are so many pretty photos out there and it can be difficult finding that balance between being present and taking photos and stories for IG. I personally just try to post things that make me happy and try to stay mindful of unplugging as needed.
