Road Trip Battle Anyone??

You know what they say, ‘Time Flies when you’re WARM’….I mean, having Fun …. right it’s Fun. In our case, it flies extremely fast when you’re having fun while staying warm!! We left Canada During a Polar Vortex, that’s right a POLAR VORTEX!! According to the Texas Locals, It’s VERY Cold in January and to […]

Texas, Y’all!

If you are wandering the streets of The Woodlands, Texas and you happen to come across a couple scooter kids with light up wheels and are dressed in capes and Pyjamas – they’re ours!!! Jake and Lil have settled in nicely and have started FULL Day Kindergarten…….I’m excited, I mean, they’re excited….okay maybe we’re all […]

Hot Weather, Head Wounds, and Diarrhea??

I wasn’t exactly sure what I should write in this post – we’ve had some ‘exciting’ moments mixed in with a bit of the routine we’ve fallen into. I never want to offend anyone with content BUT we love to be real so please use caution if you continue reading, I cover everything from Gunner […]

‘Black on Red – You’re Dead’

Snakes – Our new reality!! Apparently the Rattle Snakes down here in Texas have stopped Rattling as a new defense. The rattling attracts Wild Boars, which apparently eat Snakes. Nick came across 2 snakes the other day, both very poisionous. Geeze, good thing our dogs are soooo smart. I’ve been trying to figure out why […]

Mullets, Masks, and Compression Socks

We made it through the border everyone!! Yay! To be honest, it took about an hour for the guards to let us pass – we may have started sweating a bit by the 45 minute mark. Mostly I couldn’t imagine turning back around after the day we had before. We made our way through Montana […]

What Have We Learned?

Back Packing is my travel background – Stuffing whatever I could carry in my Rucksack, trying not to make it too heavy because one day you might find yourself on a Hostel Floor (which is seedy, at best) throwing out half of the contents because the reality of carrying this bag for months on end […]

4 Months on the Road

and we have survived! Houston was such a great place to stop and visit but eventually we had to make our way back to Minnesota, I was getting Low on the the High Grade Deodorant after all;) Once we arrived we had another 20 hour road trip under our belts – piece of cake! I […]

We’re Back!!!

What a whirlwind Trip, we went back home for a few weeks and by home, I mean Alberta – you know, because our house is in tow and always with us;) We were able to see so many great people and made it out to our cabin (our happy place). We are renewed and […]

What about the Dogs?

Lloyd and Gunner are so glad you asked!!!! You know, since these small humans arrived the attention is often centered on them, can you imagine?? I mean, they still sleep in our bed when they can and eat all the leftovers and toddler droppings so life isn’t terrible for these two beasts. Nick and I […]
