Alaska Adventuring! Winter doesn't stop us!

Great hike to a glacier in Fairbanks with our adventurous Sadie dog!

2025/1/2 Edited to

Alaska is a winter wonderland, offering unique adventures for outdoor enthusiasts. In Fairbanks, one can find breathtaking trails leading to majestic glaciers, perfect for hiking with pets. It's advisable to dress in layers to manage the cold effectively while staying warm and dry. Make sure to bring proper gear—not just for you but for your furry friends as well. Remember to pack a nutritious snack and plenty of water to keep you and your dog energized during your hike. Also, check local regulations regarding pet access on trails to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Winter months in Alaska showcase a diverse wildlife landscape, so remain vigilant and respect nature. Hiking in winter not only allows you to connect with nature but also to create lasting memories with your furry companions.

An outdoor view of a greenhouse with a black frame and translucent panels, surrounded by green trees and flowering plants. The image has a text overlay 'Greenhouse Under $500'.

The interior of a greenhouse features a white gravel floor with stepping stones, shelving units with potted plants, and a large plant in a black pot. A small table and decorative banner are also visible.

Inside the greenhouse, shelves are filled with various potted seedlings and plants, including marigolds. A table in the background holds trays of young plants, and the floor is covered with white gravel and stepping stones.

Greenhouse under $500

Having a greenhouse on my homestead was a must. If you ever seen greenhouse prices they are pretty expensive 😅 I found this one on @wayfair over the winter and scored it on sale for $500 ! This is a 6x9 and is absolutely the perfect size. I am so excited to grow year round and I cant get over how

A woman in athletic wear stands in a gym, showcasing her glutes. The image is titled 'Glute building exercises *NO SQUATS*', indicating a workout routine focused on glutes without traditional squats.

A woman performs hip thrusts with a barbell in a gym. The text specifies 'HIP THRUSTS 3X12' and advises to fully extend at the top of the movement for effective glute engagement.

A woman performs RDL's (Romanian Deadlifts) with dumbbells in a gym. The text 'RDL'S 3X12' instructs to bend at the knee and hinge back to make them more glute-focused.

My favorite Glute building exercises -no squats!

If I had to pick 3 favorite Glute exercises these would be it. You can’t go wrong with these, there’s a reason they’re the basics… THEY WORK through progressive overload. I know a lot of you girlies are against squats (I personally love them) so I left them out on this one;) #Lemon8part

Three people with backpacks walk across the vast frozen surface of Gold Cord Lake in Hatcher Pass, Alaska, surrounded by snow-covered mountains under a cloudy sky, ready for alpine ice skating.

Two individuals ice skate on the expansive frozen Gold Cord Lake, with skate marks visible on the ice and snow-dusted mountains in the background, offering ample space for family and friend adventures.

A snowy trail leads towards Gold Cord Lake, marked by a wooden signpost indicating the "Gold Cord Lake Trail" and advising to stay on the path due to delicate tundra, with mountains in the distance.

This is one of the lakes that freezes over the fastest because it’s up in the mountains. It’s about an hour and a half drive from Anchorage and a 2 mile hike up to the lake. It’s absolutely worth it and don’t forget to bring your skates, because the ice is amazing at the beginning of winter. Someti
