Wild Wild West Fest recap 🤠 — and why events like this are exactly why families keep choosing Truckee and North Lake Tahoe.

Saturday was horse shows, cowboy hotdogs, pulled pork, farm tractors, bounce houses, live music, and matching face paint with Naia on the way out. It’s the kind of community event that happens all the time here , and it’s a big part of why property values in this market stay strong.

Buyers aren’t just paying for square footage, they’re paying for a lifestyle their kids actually want to grow up in. Limited inventory, a steady stream of Bay Area families relocating or buying second homes, and a genuine small-town community calendar all keep demand and values resilient here.

If you’re weighing whether Truckee or North Lake Tahoe is worth the investment, this is the answer: it’s not just real estate, it’s a life your family will fight to keep.

Save this to add Wild Wild West Fest to your calendar for next year, and if you’re curious what buying into this lifestyle actually looks like, send me a message.

Tag the friend who needs to see what small-town Truckee living is really like.

Save this for things to do in Tahoe, whether it’s for the rest of this season or next year. The Tahoe City farmers market is a 10 out of 10.

Getting three kids loaded into the car for a farmers market run is basically a tactical operation. Dave helped wrangle everyone before heading off to work (multitasking dad of the year), and then my in-laws showed up like backup reinforcements, extra hands and extra fun included. Teamwork makes the market dream work…or parenting dream work…

What makes this Farmers Market so special is the location. It’s a beachside farmers market at Commons Beach in Tahoe City, so you get fresh produce, local goods, and an incredible view all at once. And there’s a playground right there for the kids, so everyone gets something out of the morning.

If you’re local or just visiting, this is a must add to your Tahoe list.

Okay so if you live in Truckee and you have a horse kid, I need to tell you about $45 well spent.

Pancakes and Ponies at Tahoe Donner. But first, the two hours it took us to get out the door for an event that lasts one.

Coffee first, obviously. Then baby snuggles, because the twins do not care about our schedule. Then breakfast for Naia, who spent the entire meal explaining horse facts to me with the confidence of a licensed professional. Then outfits, which is a negotiation. Then car seats, which is a sport. Then packing the car like we’re relocating.

This was Naia’s second time. The first time she went with Grandma, so getting to be the ones to take her this round was exciting. Four of her friends came too, and watching those kids talk themselves into getting on a horse was so cool to see.

$45. Two hours of prep. Worth every minute.

Tag the friend who has a horse kid and doesn’t know this exists yet.

The first photo on this carousel is one of my all-time favorites as of now, of Naia & my dad- so silly!

On a personal note, 2026 is off to a lovely start 🤍 We’re soaking up these slower, one-on-one days with our sweet rambunctious Naia and sharing her with our parents before our world grows again. The twins are due March 9th… but let’s be honest, twins tend to make their own schedule.

Naia is keeping us laughing all day long and constantly shocks us with how much she understands, the songs she loves to sing (a few favs: The Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, I Love the Mountains, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Bingo, and Baby Beluga, to name a few), and how clearly she communicates at just 21 months.

With no snow lately, we’ve been outside soaking up the sunshine ☀️ — ski resort adventures (Naia’s 1st & 2nd time!), back deck hangouts, long walks, and lots of playtime with Gunnar. The bond between Naia and Gunnar melts us. We can officially play hide-and-seek as a full family now… yes, including Gunnar 😂

And if you’ve seen us lately, you already know — Penny the Penguin comes EVERYWHERE. Naia is fully attached. While it can be mildly inconvenient at times, it is the sweetest thing watching her care for her “stuffie” and insist Penny joins us in everything we do — she is in almost every photo and video.

Missing my mama every day but knowing she is with us in spirit. I love it when Naia recognizes her in photos and now calls her Grandma Vi 🤍🤍

These are the slower days we’ll always remember as a family of three & with our parents.

So much gratitude in my heart after this beautiful zoo themed baby shower 🤍

Thank you to my mother & sister-in-law for always showing up for our family with so much love, thoughtfulness, and care. You truly outdid yourselves @sallyallstar & @jamie_lynn001

To my dad and brother for making the drive from Salt Lake City, and to our extended family and friends who traveled to be here …having you with us meant so much and made the weekend that much more memorable.

And to the incredible women in my life, thank you for surrounding us with so much love and support. Parenthood is the hardest and most rewarding journey, and sharing it with all of you is a game changer!

Thank you for your love and support and showing up. . . Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🙏🙏

This fall was truly lovely — especially October. 🍂

We kicked off the month celebrating our anniversary with a trip to Salt Lake City, staying at the Snowpine Lodge in Little Cottonwood Canyon. That canyon holds so much meaning for me, and it was incredibly special to share it with Dave, Naia, and my in-laws, who had never spent time in the area before.

Some highlights from the trip:
• Biking the Wasatch Crest Trail with Dave on our anniversary 🚵‍♀️
• Hiking in Big Cottonwood Canyon — the views were unreal
• Watching Naia attempt skipping for the first time (pure comedy)
• Enjoying the farmers market at Wheeler Farm — playground, mountain views, farm animals, and a pumpkin patch… it has it all 🎃

To wrap up the month, we soaked in “The Locals’ Summer” back home: empty beaches, mid-70s sunshine, and all the Halloween festivities and trick-or-treating with Naia.

October, you were good to us. 💛

With a broken heart and tears as I write this post. Sally and I had to say goodbye to our little Miley girl. She was a lover and fighter. She loved her special treats from anyone that had one! When Java died 2 years ago Miley was never the same. Now, they are back together again! @sallyallstar #doglovers #dogsinheaven
