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 […]
Swing Your Campsite Round and Round
I’m in charge of planning and booking where we stay. I made most of our National Park reservations in January and early February so as we’ve been traveling we’ve had milestone destinations to reach. However, the time between parks I usually wait and book anywhere from a week out to a couple of days before […]
Mama Loves a Good Farmer’s Market
I have this strange obsession with grocery stores and farmer’s markets. I LOVE a good one. And just because, Favorite Grocery Store: Wegmans Favorite Farmers Market (to date): Ithaca, NY. So if you ever find your self in the cooking mood in the North East, hit them up. Since leaving for our trip my grocery […]
Cherry Picking
Have you ever seen a cherry tree? With cherries growing on it? Have you ever picked them? I hadn’t. My kids have been tomato picking and strawberry picking. They know that fruit grows on trees and veggies grow in a garden, in the ground. But to see this and experience picking your food is something […]
Wilson’s First Show
I love Broadway. I love musicals. I have so many fond memories of my mom taking me to theater productions as a child. In fact she attributes theater to my learning to sit still and concentrate. Indeed it is great practice for just that. Jane was a natural. She’s always been attentive and had great […]
You Can’t Fix Stubborn
Katie and I can both be extremely stubborn. If we’re on opposite sides of an opinion without Google to help us sort it out with facts, our conversations on the road can devolve into a pig-headed stalemate that cripples our ability to communicate. There have been more than a few times that my obstinacy has […]
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 […]
A Care Package from Home.
I seriously have the best friends. After an 8 hour day in the car, the same day we shattered the window of the airstream. We pulled up to our park in Fort Benton, Montana. I got out of the car to check us in and immediately the lady who manages the park comes out and […]
Time Out! A Funny Jane Story
Our kids, like all kids, are sometimes naughty and need to be punished. One punishment that has worked well for Jane is getting toys thrown away. Not put away, but thrown away, permanently. It might sound harsh, but I believe that different kids work best with different punishments. When she does something that she knows […]
