Hands down, the hardest to let go of was my childhood. Back when the worst drama came from my dolls, and I could run around and play with the dogs that turned white and silver as I grew feet and inches. Back when holidays were magical and fun plans for tomorrow meant the excitement would…

If I HAD to choose somebody to swap places with, it would probably be my three-year-old niece. Having one day in which I am no longer an adult with adult responsibilities would be fantastic! My niece is not in school yet, so all she has to worry about is not hurting herself and learning how…

Sorry for the later post, we watched Lilly today and it was hard waking up even earlier to write, and I am still dealing with low energy. This whole journey with this dang van is the most ambitious project so far by far. While we are not DIY-ing the entire project since it has been…

While I am not an advocate for censorship just for the principal, certain curse words remain at the top of my “I Could Do Without This” list. Growing up, I was pretty much constantly surrounded by grown men whose vocabulary seemingly consisted of mainly curse words. It was “F-that, F-this, F-that B-” etc. etc. Once…

Moving into our van full-time is the biggest challenge I have faced yet and hopefully that happens well before 6 months. I might as well turn this post into a bit of a van update. Right now, she is in the confines of the paint shop where she is scheduled to stay for about 2…

As a reader, you are going to have feelings of disconnect to a degree since you are already on the outside looking in on the story. When insufferable or just unrelatable characters are in control…

Oh man! Another deceptively difficult question! I truly have many favorites depending on the mood. As far as chilled coffee is concerned, the blended freezes with soft top from Dutch Bros are my favorite. The Cocomo is one of my favorites for the coconut, chocolate milk and espresso but I can get down for pretty…

*The sunrise looked absolutely beautiful today so I thought I would show off the crazy looking clouds this morning.* Hands down my favorite person to be around is my husband. We both have extremely goofy sides to our personalities that come out the most when we are alone. I have almost passed out from laughing…

As far as receiving gifts goes, I tend to cherish everything I am given, no matter how big or small it is. It makes prompts like this difficult since then I feel like I am ranking them or something lol I will say, this past Christmas at my in-laws, they went hard on our gifts…

Well right now, it feels like we have no budget since we are having to dish out some money for necessary stuff on the van. That being said, we are still trying to be strict about what we are spending money on, and how much. Some of the best advice we have heard, when it…
