WHAT’S SKIMBACO?

Skimba is a Finnish slang word for skiing and CO is for Colorado – Skimbaco is a word I made to mean not just skiing in Colorado, but meaning living life to the fullest, enjoying every minute of it and doing what you love. When you are in Colorado – ski, when you are in New York – go shopping or to museums; whatever you do, enjoy the moment, live life to the fullest. Think of skimbaco like carpe diem for modern moms.

“Skiing in Colorado” is just one fun thing what our family does, and Skimbaco was born when we lived in Durango, Colorado.

“Whale watching in Cape Cod” might have done it for us, or “shopping in NYC”, or “castle-hopping in Germany”. This blog’s tagline was for a long time “from skiing in Colorado to shopping in New York City”, and it must have been meant to be, because we actually moved from Colorado to New York in August ‘08.

We live life to the fullest and I hope to inspire you to do the same.
