Traveling for Work: Onsite with Client
Today is a travel day for me of a very different sort – via air instead of RV! We’re working on a large project for a client based in Amarillo, Texas and I’m headed up to spend the day onsite with them tomorrow. While we work with clients that are all across the country and…

Pixel, Our Traveling and Sleeping Cat
A rare photo of our cat, Pixel, who, of late has taken to spending her days sleeping under comforters and quilts on various beds. Pixel goes with us on all our trips, which is sometimes surprising to people, but when we were living fulltime in the trailer she got used to it, and she does…

The Struggle of Work-Life Balance
Relatively frequently people ask me how I do it – run a business, travel, and parent three kids. While there are occasionally (seriously, occasionally) moments when I do feel like super mom who is making it all work together beautifully, there are also lots of moments when I feel like I’m barely holding things together…

Returning Home for School and Repairs.
Home again, home again! I thought I’d take a break from latergramming to update on current happenings. We’re not one of those amazing homeschool families who can balance travel, work, and schooling, so this week we hauled it back (in an epic 14 hour drive) to get home in time for the start of school.…

Mama Fox and Her Baby Kits
A couple of weeks ago I shared a picture of the mama fox who had been coming right outside my office window to eat fruit from a tree. Well it turns out she made a den under the shed behind the building and every now and then we are starting to get glimpses of babies!…

Balancing City Life with Nature Retreats
Inside looking out @capitalfactory #austincenter. Chris and I have been running a meetup down in Austin once a month and its been fun to head down there to the “big city,” LOL. We’re currently home based about 45 minutes north in a smaller town, which is perfect for me. If I’ve learned anything in our…

Using Solar Panels to Keep RV Battery Charged
Even in storage, with everything off, our battery bank drains really quickly. My dad had a solar panel from his camper that he gave us so we tried leaving that hooked up to the trailer to see if it could keep up with our battery drain. We were hoping that it would be powerful enough…

Swimming with Grandpa and Safety First.
Swimming with grandpa…we might need a bigger pool. Also, we’re all about safety first (swipe), but apparently Zara doesn’t think it’s funny.

Lesbians Who Tech Austin Roadshow Conference
I’m @google in Austin today for one of my favorite clients @LWTech’s Austin Roadshow. Chris and I went the Lesbians Who Tech NY Summit last September and it was one of the coolest (and most fun) conferences I’ve been too. LWT events are also the most diverse events that I have ever been to. So…

Our Work Setup in the Trailer
Throwback to last winter before we got an office for @roadwarriorwp, this was what our work setup looked like – Chris and me across from each other at our dinette with a baby either crawling around or fast asleep in arms. This is actually a shot from our #GoingRV episode and totally not staged…you can…

Tiny Baby Bird in Bumper Nest
Saddest discovery…there is a bird’s nest with a baby in it in our bumper. It’s so tiny, without any feathers and no open eyes, and we’re moving the trailer on Sunday. Chris is going to attempt to move it before we hitch up, but I’m sure that Mama won’t feed it anymore after that. Anyone…

Texas Family Fun at Lake Buchanan
It doesn’t get more Texas than decorating your sandcastle with bluebonnets. In case you missed my story, we spent Sunday at the lake with Chris’ mom and extended family. It was the perfect last family day before we head out for our trip (less than two weeks!). . . . . . . #texas #beach…
