Sharing a little about our recent trip to the NC mountains + mountain weekend essentials!

Finally, sharing a couple of snaps from our recent trip to Piney Creek, North Carolina. By recent, I mean, it has almost been a month {whoops}. We ventured to middle of nowhere North Carolina to escape the hustle and bustle of life and have a bit of a slow down. Which meant, we played lots of board games, ate a ton, and cheers beers + champagne, often. We were there to celebrate the New Year, after all. If you’re interested in getting away and staying at an adorable cabin, this is the one we rented. The owner was the absolute sweetest and the home couldn’t have been cuter {or cleaner}. We were so thrilled upon entering. The photos online truly do not do it justice! They even had a Christmas tree and lights up around the house. Seriously, the cutest.

Upon arriving Morgan and I decided to venture out and snap a couple of photos. You can see in a couple of the photos little flakes were falling. While it snowed all day and most of the evening, it sadly didn’t accumulate to much. However, we enjoyed watching the flakes drop and the uber cold temperatures {made us want to cozy up inside and be lazy even more}. Since it was a relaxing mountain weekend, we packed pajamas, loungewear, and comfy sweaters. I lived in this fun skiing pajama set one day. Even though there was no skiing, I thought they were perfect for a weekend in the mountains.

On New Years Eve, we decided to “hike” down to the New River which ran along the back of the community we were staying in. Seeing it covered in ice chunks was a pretty cool sight! There were areas that were completely frozen with no movement and others that had ice chunks slowly riding down the river. We climbed on logs to get out a little further {risky, I know} and soaked in the beautiful site. I say “hike” because we walked down paved roads pretty much the whole time but they were intense! Straight down on the way there and straight up on the way back. Our booties were sore haha.

Morgan and I have vowed that we’ll bring our blonde and brunette sweatshirts with us on every trip. So be prepared for lots of photos featuring these sweatshirts this year! They really are so much fun and I couldn’t recommend them more. They’re the perfect birthday gift for your bestie and/or sister.
Also, I picked up these sweatpants the day before our trip and I was SO thankful I did. They’re incredibly warm, cozy, and ideal for spending a lazy day around the house.
