I wrote this piece back in April, but never posted it. I think I kept waiting for additional “ah-ha” moments to strike before I shared what we learned on this trip. But the longer I wait, the more these lessons seem relevant. Perhaps there will be another round of insights...
Hello blog! It has been awhile since I sat down to write, but today deserved a new post. Today we said goodbye to Moby, our snug home of the past year. We never planned to keep Moby. Traveling by RV was never a part of our family travel playbook. We have always...
The Muir-N-Slager adventure officially concluded on April 24. The RV traveling portion of our life over. We pulled into our driveway around 3:00 in the afternoon, tired from a long drive, and delighted to see our home. Our renter of these past 10 months graciously...

Well folks, today is March 3, Super Tuesday is upon us. I have done my level best to keep this blog apolitical – after all this is a family-centric blog and there are days when our politics don’t feel entirely suitable for families. But as we gear up for what will likely be a highly...
