I cannot believe how much this little lady is growing up! It happens so fast and if there is a way to slow it down – please let me know! They were pretty concerned about Lydia’s growth the first two months of her life but she has rallied and is doing completely fine now! She …
Fall
My favorite season is HERE! I love fall. It is so refreshing and beautiful. I will admit, other then the temperatures, I am struggling to see the fall beauty in our little part of the world. Fall here looks just about how it does in spring and summer. It’s a shame sagebrush doesn’t change color …
2020 Berning Family Vacation
Once we hit our final day of the trip {usually our travel day home}, I get super antsy to pick our trip for the following year! My favorite tradition lives on and we have picked our trip for 2020! AHHH! Also, is anyone else in complete denial that next year is 2020?! Holy smokes! How …
IDAHO
2019 has been a bit of a doozy year but our family trip to Idaho was pretty close to perfection! We loved our time in the Gem State. We learned a lot, played a lot, ate a lot, and made a whole lot of memories! We love Idaho and with all of our family ties …

Seven Stars Alpaca Ranch
We woke up to a rainy day in Coeur d’Alene! But still oh so beautiful. Rain doesn’t deter us too much but it did let up eventually which was nice! We took a lazy start to our morning {SO needed!} and took our time getting up and ready before we headed to our first stop …
Tubbs Hill
The first thing out of Mark’s mouth as we crossed the bridge into Coeur d’Alene was: “We shouldn’t have come here.” I immediately laughed {and sighed} because I knew exactly what he meant. We were never going to want to leave. And we didn’t! Coeur d’Alene Coeur d’Alene is just as beautiful and dreamy as …
Nez Perce
After our ‘bit of a bummer’ day, we woke up ready and excited for a NEW DAY! We ate some breakfast, loaded up, and hit the road once again. Nez Perce National Historical Park First stop today, White Bird Battlefield! This is apart of the Nez Perce National Historical Park. Have I mentioned how much …
Sawtooth Mountains
You know those days when nothing seems to go right? Well…this was one of those days. We woke up in beautiful Ketchum and had a yummy breakfast and then loaded up and hit the road again. Driving through the Sawtooth Mountains was gorgeous. The mountain range is so jagged and interesting to look at. Heart …
