Saturday Snap – Just A Swingin’

The kids are both happy that playgrounds are finally open again but they also enjoy the convenience of the swing I rigged up right in our campsite!

Throwback Thursday – Locked in The Camper (August 2015)

QuaranTrim? Cutvid-19? Haired Immunity?

In The Meantime…

…picking away at a very important COVID post (well, very long anyhow!) but in the meantime, here’s a pic of how we showed we love nurses during this pandemic…

Five Things I Feel Fortunate For In the Pandemic

Obviously, the pandemic is a shitty situation all around – people are losing their jobs, businesses are shutting down, our entire world has been disrupted in ways large and small. Still, I’m an optimist at heart and I can’t help but think of a few ways that I’m personally fortunate, even in the midst of […]
