Getting to Know The Lake Tahoe Region

"Lake Tahoe is not a town, it's a region in both the states of CA and NV." This was one of the first lessons I learned upon arriving to the area as a guest of the Squaw Creek Resort. Like most people, I didn't really understand the geography of the area and, like[...]

A Birthday in Disneyland, CA

One of the highlights of our 2013 summer road trip for my kids was where we were ending it: at Disneyland Resort. It was here that we chose to celebrate our middle son's 8th birthday. He waited two and a half weeks on the road for this moment and what resulted was[...]

An afternoon in the Finger Lakes National Forest, An afternoon in the Finger Lakes National Forest, New York State’s only national forest, which spans over 16,000 acres. The trail takes you through forests, gorges, and pastures, some still crazed by cattle. The camping is rustic and space is available at first-come, first-served. And winter is filled with activities such as cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, while the warmer months welcomes horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking. 🌳

One of the many gems of the Finger Lakes.
Today is all about celebrating my partner in life, Today is all about celebrating my partner in life, in love, in work, in all the things on his birthday. Few couples could do as much as we do together, experiencing the rollercoaster of life as we have, and still remain so madly in love and committed to each other and I will be the first to admit that this is in great part due to Travis’ kind, loving, and patient 😅 approach. Not just as a partner but as a father and as a friend. We LOVE Travis and are grateful for every day we get to do so. 

He deserves the whole world and all the goodness it can gift him. So we try our best, because we are so happy to call him ours. Happy birthday, my wonderful man. Te amo. ❤️
Josie things. Josie things.
Josie update: her most recent vet visit was stella Josie update: her most recent vet visit was stellar. She’s healthy and happy and has gained 5 whole pounds, which is great because she came to us a little underweight probably from stress. 

She is a huge fan of cuddles and likes to start calming things down around 9PM - seriously, she INSISTS. She’s a big fan of sneakers, which has really encouraged everyone to not leave theirs just laying around (thanks, Josie)! She is a quick learner, quicker if treats are involved and an absolute sweetheart with other pups. 

She’s a big fan of pup cups, car rides, and long walks in the park, but not of lakes, motorcycles, or crickets. 😂

And we love her a billion.
These last days of summer to me feel like the swee These last days of summer to me feel like the sweetest. I hurry to take in every warm sun beam even as the days become shorter. I check my local farmstands for the bounty of the season, even as the early harvest plenty slowly take over. I want to dip into the lakes one more time before they chill up again, and I want to see all my friends outside before we slowly retreat into hibernation. Don’t get me wrong, autumn is my absolute favorite season, but the warmth of summer, the sounds of children still at play, the beautiful long days it gifts us are things I appreciate. 

So as eager as we might be for what’s to come let’s not take for granted what still remains. And that we are so lucky to experience it here in this beautiful place we call home. So many people have to leave soon. We’re the lucky ones who get to stay.

Finally had a chance to stop into @thefastracks by Finally had a chance to stop into @thefastracks by @julietsfinds to congratulate her on her sweet shop and journey. If you have been following Juliet, you know she is a pro at thrifting amazing finds, and now you get to enjoy from it all. But I have especially loved following her journey into finding her shop, turning it into what it has become, and now seeing it packed with goodies and customers.
