Putting Up the Christmas Tree Amid Chaos
Not being in a trailer means we get to have a Christmas tree again. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a scrooge about holiday decorations – with all the other things, they often just feel like a lot of work. If not for the kids, we totally would skip putting up a Christmas tree… we’ve…

Zara and Pocket
And not to leave Zara out, here’s a photo of her and Pocket. She’s loving having a dog again.

Nora and Pocket
Girl and her dog ❤️ I was a little skeptical about getting a tiny dog at first – we’re just not little dog people – but Pocket has turned out to be the perfect addition to the family. #mutt #rescuedog

One Year of Full-Time Trailer Living
I can’t get over how tiny she looks sitting here. We winterized the trailer. One year ago today, we were moving into it for full time living. We hadn’t sold the Colorado house yet and had realized that living with Chris’ dad wasn’t really working. We knew we were going to buy a trailer for…

First Day Back at Work After Vacation
Today was my first day back at work after my first real break in 3+ years and…nothing imploded (or exploded). I took an actual vacation. I managed to not check email or our project management software for 7 days. I did end up working for 40 minutes when, on Black Friday, a client (who was…

Unexpected Nature Discovery in North Austin
I love discovering nature in unexpected places. We drove down into north Austin to meet some friends and stopped at a random neighborhood park to let the girls burn some energy off on the way. Rather than the expected playground, we found trails, woods, and a creek to meander along. ❤️

Lake Lavon Campground in Wylie, TX.
Our pre-Thanksgiving camping spot on the shore of Lake Lavon in Wylie, TX. It’s a beautiful lake and this is pretty convenient to my brother’s house, but I’m always on the fence about staying here because it’s an Army Corp. Of Engineers campground. They lock the gate at 10pm (which is annoying if you’re doing…

Grateful for Traveling Across Beautiful Texas
My second reason for gratitude this year: clear skies, beautiful Texas fields, and our trailer. It was several years in the making, but this year was the year we realized our dream of travel and adventuring across the country, thanks to our business. I’m grateful for a year of realizing our dreams and all the…

Trailer Door View: Blue Lake in Texas
Our view this morning from the trailer door: not a cloud in the sky and the bluest lake I’ve ever seen in Texas. One of my favorite things about our trailer is that we can travel without having to stay in a hotel. Instead of walking out the door to a parking lot and busy…

Taking Time Off as a Business Owner
Just coming by to say that I actually did it. I DID IT! I actually got everything to a place where I am feeling ready and {mostly} not anxious to be away from work for a week. For most people, this is no big deal…taking vacations, leaving work with barely a glance backwards, but I’m…

Cherishing Mama-Daughter Moments and Gratitude
Sneaky #selfie with my mini-me. She’s still very much a Mama’s girl wanting to follow me everywhere I go, and I’m trying to cherish it…even moments when I would rather be in the bathroom alone. This is the second year that we didn’t do #30daysofthanks because of life craziness, and I really miss making intentional…
