Jam packed…
Was today typical? If exploring new places is typical, then yes. Today was one of those amazing Sundays. Getting in a car with our besties. Heading out and seeing where the day takes us.

When the world calls…
Looking back at photos from our last trip and this photo hits true for me. Getting out on the open road and heading off on a new adventure. Exploring somewhere different. Meeting some new folk. Learning the history and stories of others. Making memories. I’m so grateful. Continue reading

I want it all, and I want it now
Are you seeking security or adventure? Why do I have to choose? I want to be able to roam free, travel, hike, and explore. But I want to know I have a home to return to, the nook of a loving family and a job that pays the bills. I don’t think that’s greedy. Perhaps… Continue reading

Can we discuss smelly shoes?
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life? I don’t know about you, but I find it’s the small things that bring comfort, ease stress, and make the day tolerable, even pleasurable.
