I have a fear. Ok, I have several fears. But this one rears its ugly head almost 3 times a day. I feel like my kids have forgotten their manners. Ever since Jane was born Mark and I would take her out to eat with us almost once a week. This allowed me a break […]
How Do We Find Our Campsites?
We’ve had a couple of RV’ers ask how we determine where we stay. So feel free to skip this post if you aren’t a camper. I usually check 4 different places to find a campsite. That is when we’re not staying in a National or State park. Those I book through the state’s website or […]
What I’m Missing- 5 Months In
We all know that I’m missing my dishwasher. I still don’t like hand washing dishes. We have been occasionally staying in “full-hook up” sites, which means that we’re connected to running water, electricity and a sewer system. I can let my sink water run more freely while washing dishes. So its not as terrible as it […]
America the Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood, From sea to shining sea! Happy Birthday, America!
Back In The News
Our family adventure was back in the news this morning. Since it’s Father’s Day week, WRAL’s Go Ask Mom blog featured a story about Mark’s decision as a father to take our kids on a one year trip around America’s state and national parks. Here’s the story on WRAL.com: Adventure Possible: A dad explains why […]
Rainy Days in the Airstream
We’ve been asked what we do when it rains or when the weather otherwise doesn’t permit us to hike, bike or explore the outdoors. We are fortunate in that we’ve only run into this problem a couple times. Most storms tend to be in the afternoon during nap time. But even if it is raining, […]
Our Daily Routine While Living on the Road
As I’ve mentioned before, our schedule hasn’t changed much since we left on our adventure. On the days we aren’t traveling to a new place, which is about once or twice a week, our schedule follows our normal routine. We get up, have breakfast, do a big activity, have lunch, rest time, another activity, dinner, […]
Tantrums On The Trail
Most of what I show of the kids is wonderfully positive. But as you may know, I’m all for keeping it real. We have bad days. Our kids have bad days. Sure we try to stick to a schedule, feed them well and make sure they get plenty of rest. But they’re kids. They have […]
I’m HUUUUNGRY. How we manage kid snacks on the road.
My mom was always anti-junk food. “Don’t buy it and the kids won’t eat it”- wise words from our pediatrician growing up. I’d like to think I’m better than the average Joe at what my kids eat. Sure, it would be super easy to throw them a bag of cheese-its or stop at a gas […]
The Everyday WOW Factor
How Do We Deal With The Everyday Wow Factor? I was posed this question by one of my very old friends the other day. He asked me if I was ever becoming numb at all to the beauty we are seeing every day? I stopped to think about this for a few days. I’m still […]
