After literally months of anticipation we drove off last Thursday headed to upstate NY to visit my dear cousin and his new wife. His mama, my aunt who's been like another mama to me, came all the way from TX to be with our hoodlums while we were gone. In the best of hands we … Continue reading Travel and Things.

Bringing back my childhood magic…
As the tires leave the pavement my van dips and gives into the gravel and I swing through the open gates. There's something about the sound of gritting stones and dirt underneath me that fuels the adventure leaping within my heart. A couple of pickups are parked way across the lot with empty boat trailers. … Continue reading Bringing back my childhood magic…
Preparing for the Change…
At a nice and steady 68mph today we zipped down 23 with excitement and yet this sense of easy peace. Going south of the Michigan border usually finds me impatient at our neighbors' crawling speed limit but today there was no rush. Just us and adventure awaited! With plenty of time to get there, great … Continue reading Preparing for the Change…

There's so many things that are … Continue reading Launching changes…
Looking Forward to Home.
We used to be able to refer to our 'old house' and then our 'new house,' and it was funny because our old house was the new house and our new house was an old house. But then we moved again. And then again. Originally, after we moved back from Tuscon, we were able to score a … Continue reading Looking Forward to Home.
Finding New Places.
One of my most favorite things to do is go exploring paths and parks. Not the big nature paths or hiking trails, but just those cool little spots around our city's parks or creeks. It's easy for me to access with my littles and we can take an hour and still be able to scoot back … Continue reading Finding New Places.
