We’ve talked in the past about the challenges of a family of four sleeping in an RV and early mornings with Wilson, and it seems we’re finally adapting after six months in the trailer. Mark and I have mentioned to each other several times recently how amazing the sleep is that we’ve been getting on […]

My friends sent me an awesome care package a while back. Some of the items they sent I have saved for when we really needed them. One afternoon in Olympic National Park Wilson refused to nap. Jane was cranky. We had exhausted most of what the park had to offer that was within our abilities. I […]

As most boys do, Wilson loves trains. So when we were in Portland we had to take a (free) trip to the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. It was hot. 101 and radiating off the black asphalt. This is an open air exhibit so that didn’t help much. On cooler Saturdays you can actually take a […]

Remember in college those little fridge/freezers you had in your dorm room? That’s what we have in the Airstream. It’s tiny. I kind of love it. For me the difference between living on the road and camping on the road is this fridge. It makes life so much easier and so much more livable. At […]

I spent my summers starting at age 12 going to a summer camp in Brevard, North Carolina. Being from Florida, just getting to wear a sweatshirt in the summer time was exciting. Add in over night hikes, mountain biking, white water rafting, and countless other summer camp activities and I was a smitten kitten. In […]

I can’t believe we’ve been at this for 6 months. Part of me never thought we’d actually make it this long. Part of me was sure we’d be chugging along just like we are. I can honestly say that after being in a house for a couple weeks we all really, REALLY missed the road. […]

I packed three things with me on the road to make me feel more…I don’t know? Girly? Less gross? Young? Sometimes I just feel so over the gross, sweaty, oily, dirtiness that is life on the road. A little pampering is key. When I feel this way usually my MIA, Hope in a Jar, or […]

As you might know we’ve been in an Air B&B in Portland Oregon for the last two weeks. This was a much needed break. After 6 months on the road we needed a bit of down time. For me the hardest part of being in Portland was doing what we needed vs what I wanted. […]

I’d regret it if I didn’t post something here about the Lion King. I need to remember this obsession of Jane’s. The week before we left on our trip Jane turned 4. She asked if I would take her to see The Lion King musical for her birthday. She had the original broadway soundtrack and […]

Well it’s official. The kids have reached a major milestone and I’m equally thrilled and stumped. They can play at the museum, playground, or park unassisted. I just stand there and make sure no one breaks anything or cries. I seriously don’t know what I’m supposed to do. Am I that mom that starts doing […]
