Hello from South Tirol! We’re currently enjoying a week in the mountains, submerged in the beautiful nature and culture of the Dolomites. We’re staying in a lovely family run hotel (Hotel Al Plan in San Vigilio di Marebbe) and skiing every day. The children are in ski classes (meanwhile picking up some Italian!), and Tamar and I are hitting the slopes together. My dad came along as well, which is just perfect, as he doesn’t ski anymore but is happy to help out with the smaller kids.
Packing for this trip has been a huge affair — I already find it challenging to pack my own bags for a skiing holiday, let alone adding 4 children! Outerwear, thermowear, loungewear, sleepwear, formal wear — sunscreen, helmets, snow boots, etc etc… A lot of things to think of! But now that we’ve been here for a few days I’m starting to discover our key pieces, and the merino wool basics of Smalls are an absolute winner. They are the perfect pyjamas for crisp and frosty winter nights. Then they become the most comfortable, second skin layer of thermo wear. And after skiing, when the shells are stripped of, the kids hang out in the cosy hotel lobby using their cute Smalls pieces as lounge wear. So versatile! (If they didn’t need a bath every now and then they could just wear the same layer 24/7!)
Smalls clothing are a bit of an investment, but they’re made to last long — cuffs fold or unfold to accommodate growing children, and shirts have a nice, longer cut as well. Also, I love how easy to care for the pieces are — of course wool pieces don’t need extensive washing, but when I do wash them they go on a regular 40 degrees cycle (no wool wash), and I even dry them in the tumble dryer. And after a year of wearing and washing, the pieces still look like new.
OK, time to enjoy my aperativo now… Ciao from Italy!
