The snow has finally come and it’s here to stay for a while. I’m happy that I can enjoy this view outside my bedroom window. And though it may not technically be winter, as far as I’m concerned it is. Look at that gauge! I honestly can’t remember the last time it was this cold. […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (September)
Just when I thought August was a month of changes, September rolls in. We had bluebird days, overcast days, snowy days and rainy days. And boy did we have rainy days. We almost set a nearly 100-year-old record, in fact, for the most consecutive days of rain (18). Not quite what we were all hoping […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (August)
August is a time of change in Alaska, apparently, and all of a sudden Alaskans go from enjoying summer to full-on prepping for winter. It’s kinda weird. The warmth continues… The month started out just like July had ended – warm with blue skies and hardly any rain. I was super stoked to get out […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (July)
Now that July is wrapping up, I can say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised at just how many summer-like days we’ve been having up here. June was ridiculously nice and I didn’t expect it to last. But it did! Woot! People visiting Alaska this summer must have the impression it’s always like this. But, as […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (June)
June was an unbelievably gorgeous month in Alaska. The leaves sprung to life, the days were long and warm and the sun was shining. A lot. We also had the pleasure of entertaining my mom and enjoyed touring around the state a bit with her. Here are some Instagram Photo Highlights from June Biking […]

I just came up with a theory. It could be totally wrong, of course, but I’m starting to wonder if the wildlife up here in Alaska can sense that we’re only here for a temporary stay, so they’ve decided to make an appearance on a regular basis – kinda to welcome us and make us […]

If you like little fur babies then I couldn’t recommend a better place to visit than Alaska in the Spring. I’m amazed at not only all of the wildlife we’ve seen, but all of the babies, too. It started off with the baby calf and her mama who first visited us in late May. I’m […]
Sweet, Sweet Alaska
After the last snowfall of the season (I now feel I can comfortably say “last”), Spring has sprung in Alaska. (Most of) the snow has melted and the bright, almost glowing, green grass has taken its place. Every morning when I take Nani out, I inhale slowly, deeply. The fragrant air pixies swirl in my […]
What does Springtime look like in Alaska?
The short answer is it looks like winter. So, what do you do if it’s technically Springtime, but doesn’t feel a bit like Spring? There are no April showers. No green grass. No warmer days. Just snow, snow, snow. That means you need to get creative. That means you do what the kiddos do and […]
Glimpses of Wildlife in Anchorage
It’s not every day you have a mama moose and baby calf in your backyard. This weekend as I was reliving my nerdy days as a CS major and messing around with my site’s SQL database, I looked up and saw two moose bolting through the yard. The snow is still pretty deep, so the […]
