Hello! My name is Kristi and I’m the gal behind making it in the mountains. I am a wife, a mother & a teacher. 

We’ve just recently left our lovely home in the Kootenay mountains (hence the fab blog name!) to move back to our little home town in northern Alberta. Though we’ll miss the charming town, our wonderful friends and of course, being able to enjoy our favorite hobbies right in our backyard, we’re over-the-moon excited to be back {home} surrounded by forest, big skies and most important of all, living closer to our family!

 
 
Meet the loves of my life: my hubs Brady & our handsome little man, Carson!

 
Growing up in the same small town in Northern Alberta, Brady and I go all the way back to junior high.

 
We were married in the fall of 2010 on a mountain top in Golden, BC and, rain & all, it was an absolute dream come true!

 
 
Here is the only other man to steal my heart, our son Carson.  He’s without a doubt the most handsome and happy little guy we know!  He has brought SO much love and joy to our lives!!!

 
 
In keeping with our new DIY lifestyle, we’ve pushed ourselves a bit ton outside our comfort zone to recently buy our first ever “fixer-upper” and what an adventure it’s been already! We’d absolutely LOVE for you to follow along as we work through each room to make it our own!
