It’s fun for the whole Pippen family in the mountains! Scottie, Larsa, and the kids were recently photographed while skiing, bringing the new year in with lots of adventure.

Larsa shares her adventure of parenthood with blog readers, telling them that mothering has taught her to be strong. “What use to be a perfectly organized home became extra-chaotic once the kids came home. I had to learn not to sweat the small stuff or as I like to say, ‘cry over spilt milk.’ My priorities changed after becoming a mother, my world is now my children. Rather than dwell on muddy jeans or broken shoelaces—I learned to accept this is a part of the package.”

The mother of four also gives a bit of advice to subscribers that encourages them to listen and love their kids to no end. “Being able to [listen] earlier on has helped build a strong relationship between my children and I,” shares the star. “I hug, kiss, and wish a ‘great day’ upon all four of my kids first thing before they head to school. Don’t give your child the opportunity to question your love. Parents who are too busy or preoccupied with their own lives will lose so much more than they ever imagined.”

Scottie and Larsa Pippen have three sons-Justin, Scotty, Preston-and a daughter named Sophia.
