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 […]
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 […]
Dealing with Diapers
Diapers probably aren’t something you think about when you think about our travels, but we have to think about them all the time. Diapers are a big part of our little Airstream and adventure life. Buying Diapers and Wipes We have to stock a lot of diapers and wipes while we travel, as many of […]
Things I Can’t Live Without: LUCI
Both my family and Mark’s do a “Secret Santa” gift exchange for Christmas each year. It makes it super stress free on everyone. We each only have to buy 2 gifts for our families! It just decreases the amount of “stuff” you get that you don’t want or will never wear. We love it! Mark […]
Junior Ranger: The CD
Before we left for our trip I was researching kid friendly things to do in the National Parks. The Junior Ranger program came up, which you know we love. But Jane is really into singing and music and loves to listen to kids cds in the car. Now that we’ve gone on this trip, Wilson […]
Fashion Friday! RV Style
Were you at fashion week last month? Did you follow along on Instagram? Have you switched out your clothes for the new season yet? Any cute new “pieces” (I despise that word when talking about clothes, so lame) you plan to purchase? Not here! Here in the RV it’s items of necessity only. Mark would […]
My Indiana Jones Complex
I can trace my love for adventure to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. A handsome archeologist traveling the world on grand adventures to save priceless historical artifacts, women, and children from the evil intentions of bad men. Yep, like many young boys out there, that’s who I wanted to be when I grew […]
Tips to Keep the Kids Entertained on Long Car Rides
Yesterday we had our longest travel day by far. We were in the car for over 16 hours driving from Ft. Myers, FL to Raleigh, NC. We only took four, fifteen minute bathroom / gas stops and a 30 minute break for dinner. I’m happy to report the kids did awesome. I think there was […]
Are RV Parks Safe?
While I write this post, I sit in an RV park community building alone (praise hands!), watching the Bachelor finale (DOUBLE praise hands!) in an old recliner in front of a big screen TV. The kids are asleep in the Airstream across the park, and Mark is with them while he blogs. So obviously, I […]
Complexities of Water in an RV
The convenience of water is certainly a resource we took for granted at home. Just turn the faucet, and cold or hot water flowed instantly. Even more taken for granted, the drainage system that carried all of that water effortlessly out of the house to make it someone else’s problem. In our master shower at […]
