We are so thankful all the burn bans are off and we can enjoy a campfire outside our camper. This campground happens to provide really nice fire pits. Hanna and Cody played music while the rest of us either relaxed or ran circles around the van. No, it wasn’t Shae and I who were running around the… Read More Enjoying a Night by the Fire
Another day in the National Forest. Each day brings new adventure and great memories. After breakfast, chores, and bible study, I took the kids for a walk.

If I can get through those moments, hours, or days, I will be fine. Endurance….it is very hard sometimes. It has been two years on the road now. … Read More Sometimes I don't think I can do this anymore….
As I have said before, this lifestyle is not for everyone and for us, with six kids, it is not an easy one. But, days like today make it all worth it. I enjoyed a long walk and swim today. It was amazing. The family went to the pool this afternoon and we had a… Read More A Day Like Today Makes it All Worth It
No, we did not fall off of the face of the earth. A few weeks ago, one of my sweet children set my laptop on my black office chair with the mouse in between the top and bottom of it. I began to sit down on the chair, not suspecting the laptop to be on… Read More I am back!
