We Juggle

That’s what grown-ups do. All day, every day. More figuratively than literally, although Kristi Orr is a fan of both.

Living as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal, West Africa, Kristi learned to juggle. Juggle her time. Juggle the needs of others. Juggle work and play. She also learned to really juggle. Three-balls-in-the-air juggle. Odd, perhaps, but she found that single accomplishment very rewarding, even among the many life changing aspects of her time in Africa. It was tangible. It was immediate. It felt good.

Years later, Kristi and her husband were well into raising their first baby when she had a realization. With all the juggling required as a mom, wife, friend, employee…she wasn’t making time to juggle. To accomplish something new. To grow. The idea evolved into a club dubbed Meetyme (“me time”) where girlfriends gathered for rock climbing, snowshoeing, and trail running. It was a few hours, now and then, to add balance. It was nice. Really nice.

The Short and Sweet of it

Three babies, seven years, and many awesome experiences later, Sweetlife Adventures was born.  The mission is simple – to provide unique experiences for mind, body and soul in a family friendly schedule. Sweetlife partners with expert instructors to create experiences that will push you in all the right ways, with complete respect for all you have to juggle to be there. We know how hard it is to make time for ourselves. We also know what happens if we don’t.

Incidentally, Kristi still enjoys juggling. Her kids think it’s really cool. Isn’t that sweet?
