Welcome to Bit of Betsy. I started this blog in 2015 and a lot has changed since then! Two kids and a huge move later we are currently making a home in the Pacific Northwest. I also went from working a full-time job to being a stay-at-home mom for two amazing little girls. Our adventures may look different than they did 5 years ago but we still love to get outside and explore the natural world. In many ways my life has slowed down over the past few years. I’ve traded multi-pitch climbing for gardening, and long backpacking trips with baking bread. While that may sound dull to some, I have never felt more fulfilled. Don’t get me wrong though we spend our weekends hiking, camping, and exploring!

I first started this blog to document my travels and adventures. You can expect to see more of that going forward as well as snippets from our life.
