ramblings on everyday…birth…floor plans…

I would love to share the latest developments in our frame failure disaster, but we are still just hanging too. We are waiting to hear from our insurance company, but don’t know when that will be. Last week they asked for our registration, and then said that they were also waiting to receive estimates for […]

So, what is happening to our Adventure???

Actually, nothing! We sat down with the kids (the 9 at home anyway), and talked over our pending shelter decision. Do we want to continue our life on the road, or do we want to buy a piece of back-country Montana, build a garage to live in for the winter and then start a house […]

TOS Review – Before Five in a Row review…

I have had the privilege of reviewing a few products for The Old Schoolhouse magazine this year. One of the items that I received to review was the book Before Five in a Row. This book is geared towards preschoolers, ages 2-4, and is great for those little ones that would like to ‘do school’ […]

At a Crossroads…

We are still staying at my sister’s cabin; and just because it’s not our house doesn’t mean we aren’t making ourselves at home! We even get company! Yesterday Vaughn’s parents, his Uncle Steve and Aunt Deloros, Aunt Lavonne, and Cousin Bev came up for the day. We visit Uncle Steve when we are down in […]

end of the lake…

while we are loving our time in the mountains right now, we are also missing the lake a wee little bit…I never thought that we would be lake campers, but we got used to the water being right there, which is wonderful when you are dry camping (having to run the gene to power the […]

From houseless to homeless…

So, while we have been ‘houseless’ for 2 years, it’s looking like we are now officially homeless. We find out tomorrow for sure, but it sounds like our trailer will never be road-worthy again. So, we are homeless as of today. This was her last ‘voyage’, this morning, to a dealership in town; they took […]

Molly's Birthday

Well, it’s official – we don’t have a baby anymore (at least for a couple of months) – Molly turned 2 last week!!! She has been being way too big lately – talking way too much, being incredibly independent, and holding her own against her big brothers. Not to mention helping herself to her gifts […]

TOS Review – Nature Nuts Card Game…

Recently, the Canadian company Griddley Games sent our family a copy of their Nature Nuts Card Game to review (we so love that they are NOT made in China!). The game sounded right up our alley – educational, great for multiple ages, and compact. Because living in an rv means that anything ‘optional’, like games, […]

thankfulness into action…

Our family likes to think of ourselves as patriotic. We love so much about this country, and we spend a great part of our traveling time visiting historic locations.Last winter we had an awesome opportunity to join in on an activity with an organization that has become close to our hearts; it is a way […]

end of the journey??? rv frame failure

No. but maybe a pretty big bump in the road… While we love our rv, we also haven’t been loving what’s been happening lately. Frame Failure. yes, it can happen to you. or us. and it is.happening. or happened. or whatever…to us. When we went to leave Sun Canyon Lodge, Vaughn noticed that the 5er […]
