Great Sands National Park

We headed out for breakfast and this time sat inside since it had rained the night before. They really had everything. Freshly baked bread, grapefruit, freshly squeezed OJ, fluffy egg muffins, vegan sausage, Manchego cheese, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, crunchies and much more. Thomas said it was his favorite breakfast so far on the trip. […]

Backcountry Chimayo

We woke up early at Casa Escondido to have a home made breakfast and get a head start on the day. They had cinnamon coffee brewing downstairs and big beautiful coffee mugs to warm up your hands. The morning was brisk but sunny. Charlie was in his typical “Go 90 miles an hour terror mode” […]

Taos Taos

We woke up but somehow I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I felt grumpy and hormonal. Everything and everyone was irritating me. We got ready and headed as a family to start our laundry. On Thomas’ search for beer the night before, he discovered a laundromat about a stones throw away […]

Santa Fe

We had breakfast and packed everything up, slowly heading to Santa Fe. It was only a 3 hour drive so we were planning on arriving around 1 pm. We arrived and our hotel was already to check us in so we could settle into our room. We dropped the bags at the adorable hotel and […]

Truth or Consequence

The truth: our 2 year old is like a Wild West tornado on the warpath. The consequence: Mami and Papi are completely exhausted. We all slept relatively good. We woke up and after showers, we headed down to enjoy breakfast together. I should have known the direction the day would take by how it started […]

The White Sands National Park

We all woke up early because Charlie woke up at 6:30 am (he is the early bird in our group). We slowly packed everything up and said goodbye to the Blue Swallow Motel with all its 1940s charm. We headed to the most adorable 50s style diner called „Kix on 66“ where we ordered decaf […]

December 1, 2017, Advent Calendar for Clark

Happy 1st Day of Advent, Clark.  I wanted to record these days in writing because they are flying by so quickly.  As much as we try to celebrate every minute together and every moment we have, it’s almost been a year. Last night we recorded our first Advent, walking up and down the streets of […]

This man

This post is dedicated to Thomas Bradley Clark Niederberger.  This man.  He is incredible.  He is my rock.  He is my backbone.  He carries my load physically.  Mentally and emotionally.  He calms me down with his kisses.  His hands warm mine on snowy hills.  His thoughts are intertwined around mine.  It’s as though we rediscovered […]

House Rules

In typical Louisa and Clark style, we set off early Sunday morning by train to discover the center of Switzerland.  The idea was to bring together our ideas of what we want to build in our relationship and to write them down and share them with each other. Organized Clark packed a picnic bag with […]
