Many people have asked us how we are managing to spend a year on-the-road, traveling the USA to help people. The long answer is a combination of sacrifice (we sold EVERYTHING, remember?), preparation, and grace. The short answer is: we live very frugally. Tim is planning to write a breakdown of the financial side of […]
When we first bought our 5th wheel, our 4-year-old ran right to the master bedroom and declared, "I'm going to sleep right here with my little sis!" Tim & I had a good laugh about it. Guess where they're sleeping now? Mmm-hmm. The master bedroom. But...it was our choosing. Here's the reality of RV living. […]
Water is my favorite drink. I choose it over other drinks about 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time I choose fresh-squeezed juice or a half-glass of wine. Occasionally, I enjoy a root beer.

I originally got the idea from you (my wonderful readers!) AND from "Curly Girl: The Handbook" by Lorraine Massey. Published in 2011, the book is […]
Want a peek inside my closet? I have 6 pairs of jeans, 5 shirts, 3 coats/jackets, 2 sweatshirts, 1 pair of slacks, 1 dress, and 0 skirts (I'm really sad about that, by the way). That is a real count. I'm living in an RV for the year, remember? ;) As you can tell, my […]
She will be two in ten days. TWO. (I scarcely remember what it's like to have a baby anymore...which means, it's time for another, right?). She climbs up super tall playgrounds. (You should see her climb). She plays rough-and-tumble with her big sister. (And can totally hold her own). She shouts "BEBE!" whenever there is […]
