I don’t know if you follow me on social media or not (let me take this opportunity to suggest that you SHOULD and you can find links right on over on the right margin of this blog page) but if you do, you might have noticed that we have been on somewhat of a amazing race across this great country! …
Flying with kids
So I recently had the pleasure (?) of flying from Nashville, Tennessee to Sacramento, California with my kids as a solo parent. My social media went as follows: 2 giant suitcases, 3 carseats, 2 carry ons, 1 double stroller, 3 kids and… 1 mom! My kids are 6, 4, and 2… so this means two things: First, no one is …
Summertime in Summertown
I’m not one for heat. Even though school is out in the summer and I remember liking that as a kid, I would have to say that summer is pretty much my least favorite season. I just don’t like being hot. However, I still stand by the fact that Tennessee summers have been WAY better than I could have ever …

But here is the deal… Something has been sitting on me the last day or so, and really for months if I’m being honest, and so I figured I’d put …
Life and death
Don’t panic, this blog isn’t as serious as the title makes it sound. At least not for me. To one of the hogs, however… So yea, we killed a pig. And yes, that was the plan all along. Yes, it was sad- a bit sadder than I thought it would be, but for a shorter period of time than I …
I’m coming home
Readers… we’re almost there. I can’t even believe it myself. We’ve hit 10 of the 50 states in the last 3 weeks on this crazy journey together, and as we’re literally coming to our final destination in a few short hours, I’m struck with ALL the feels. One, without question, is gratitude. Thank you Lord. Man, we have been so …
