Major husband/wife stress meltdown
Yo! Major husband/wife stress meltdown happened the other day. A nasty fight and all. The stress got to us. Anyway, we got the ugly out on the table, looked at the mess we had just made, grabbed each other’s hand, and cleaned it up.
Once their hands are cold, it’s game over.
When we go to the park nowadays, we spend a lot of time there. We don’t have anywhere else to be, so why not play for hours?!
Instagram vs. Reality: Christmas Tree Shopping
Went to the tree farm to pick out a tree with Kylan’s parents (for their house). Maverick is sick, the trees were all $70 (no matter the size!) so we took some pics, and left 😂
We played, colored, read books, wrestled, did “school”, washed the dishes, ate food.
The kids and I stayed in our cozy little “home” all morning while Kylan worked at a nearby coffee shop today. It was raining outside and I offered to go on a walk to splash in puddles, but to my surprise, no one took me up on the offer.
Shoutout to the best oldest son a mom could ask for.
Shoutout to the best oldest son a mom could ask for. He helped me with the dishes last night saying, “mom, whenever you feel overwhelmed, you should ask for help!
back in our original neck of the woods
We’ve been back in our original neck of the woods for the last week and it has been so much fun! It’s weird being “home” with no house to go to.
Right when you think Idaho may not have much to offer, it delivers.

Dropping perfectionism like it’s hot. 😎
First time visiting Utah! Stayed in an Airbnb close to some amazing friends so we could stay up late visiting/eating cookies 😋, catch up on laundry, and Kylan could work work work.
Missing Pickleball Heaven rn
Last week was Pickleball heaven. The @usapickleballnationals is what brought us to Palm Springs, and we had a blast watching some of our favorite players out on championship court.
Truck Problems #1
Kylan hitchhiked in the back of a construction truck to the nearest auto parts store, downloaded a YouTube vid his brother sent, skateboarded all the way back to us, fixed the problem, and we’re finally back on the road right before sunset!
The kids are growing - Another cheesy post, you’re welcome
We’ve been in Palm Springs at a @thousandtrails RV resort for the last week (we’ll be here for another 5 days). And it has been a blast! We’ve been swimming multiple times a day, doing crafts at the rec lodge, exploring Palm Springs, and attending the Pickleball National Championship.
Dude! This is my life! Who even cares?! Not me!
Earlier today, our trailer/house was messy, so frustration began to set in. Then I took a deep breath, walked outside, and thought, “dude! This is my life! Who even cares?! Not me!”
I just love this dude.
I just love this dude. I’m over here learning how to let go of pointless stress. He’s over here living every moment to the fullest. I’m like, “so... what’s the next plan? Do you need to go find internet to work? Today isn’t going how I imagined it.
Visiting Grandparents at a Dirt Resort
We just spent some time with Kylan’s Grandparents in a tiny town near Quartzsite, AZ (They’re snowbirds who migrate toward the heat when things get chilly up north!).
The Real London Bridge!!
Last night while Kylan was at Home Depot buying the board to make Miles’ “bunkbed”, an employee mentioned that we needed to check out the London Bridge
Indian Cove Campground at Joshua Tree National Park left us in awe
We had an incredible time there and highly recommend it this time of year (75 and perfect the entire time)
Our Sweet Little Space We Now Call Home
I just have to document this sweet little space we now call home (until we upgrade to a bigger trailer. We definitely need one).
Hitting the Road
Here’s the story: A few weeks ago, I was about to order some furniture for our new rental, when I saw a friend on my Facebook share photos of a remodeled van a family was about to live out of.
Is Work-Life Balance a real thing??
We sometimes feel the need to choose one or the other. As entrepreneurs, we fear that the perfect work-life balance doesn't exist. In an attempt to avoid falling into a rut or
a boring life, we look to the entrepreneur world for guidance.
