One of my mom’s sweet friends, Donna, sent us these adorable t-shirts for Jane and Wilson. The kids love to wear them. They really love to wear them at the same time and match. I can’t tell you how excited they were to get a chance to wear them on our tour of the Airstream […]

Being a total basic, I love fall. Though I dislike pumpkin spice lattes. Gag! I attribute it to having lived in Florida from ages 0-18 and never getting to experience the change in season. Those Floridians, they’re deprived of basic human joys! Back at home I would spend time to plan out three areas in […]

So I’ll attribute this 100% to Daniel Tiger. It has nothing to do with me. I’m not an overly “kind” person. But my kids are! Jane and Wilson have each adopted an adorable trail behavior. When we go for hikes, Jane will take a sheet of stickers and whenever we pass someone else on the […]

Are you tired of me complaining about our really fun life yet? NO? Ok! Good! I’ve thought of something totally gross that I can’t stand about living in the Airstream that I have yet to whine about to you kind folks. Our towels make me wretch. I’m guessing your first thought is that they smell […]

Small hikes with our kids are great. Anything under 3 miles is usually a doable morning activity. Sometimes, we’ll let them both walk and just spend the whole morning doing only a 3 mile trail. This is wonderful. Wonderful in that we’re teaching them to love hiking. Wonderful in that they’re getting exercise and enjoying […]

Did I tell you the big news? We got a pet! If you know Mark and me this is a huge shock to you. To say we’re not animal lovers is to put it mildly. In fact if someone were to say “You have to choose between raising another kid or a dog?” I think […]

I’ve shared about Jane’s obsession with the Lion King. But my sweet Wilson. Do you want to know who his favorite Disney character is?  Yup! The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella. I know. You’re scratching your head. Why on earth does he like the Fairy Godmother? What about Lightning McQueen? What about Peter Pan? What about […]

Traveling full time is so different than a vacation. Anyone who’s ever tried to go anywhere with young children knows that most of the time trips are work. They are not a vacation. Traveling full-time is a lot of work, and sometimes we need to break up the work of day-to-day travel with a little […]

Today is Mark and my 7th wedding anniversary. It celebrates the day we made two of the best decisions of our lives. The first was choosing each other as a partner in this life together. The second was having a wedding with only the small group of people above. I still remember trying to explain […]

Guys. Maybe it’s because I’m currently in the Nevada desert, but I am missing the Pacific Northwest. Sure, the desert is a must see, but for anything longer than a few days, I’d gladly pass. The Pacific Northwest is where you want to spend your summer. I’m just saying. Not Portland or Seattle but the […]
