Roosevelt Grove of Ancient Cedars
Fall is my favorite season for hiking. The air is crisp and the smell of woodsmoke is in the air. The lack of bugs is always nice too. We recently took a drive up to the Rooesvelt Grove of Ancient Cedars. These giants are anywhere from 800- 2000+ years old! We had fun walking around…

Farewell Summer
Temps are dropping and its officially fall in north Idaho! I cant believe how fast summer flew by and I’m finally getting around to updating the blog with some of our summer travels. We planned a trip to North Cascades National Park that we had to cancel due to wildfires in the area. Luckily there…

Sweet Creek Falls
Life has been a bit crazy this summer, and that is an understatement. We found out at the beginning of the summer that we had to find a new place to live and so along with working and parenting we had to find time to pack and move to a new home. I’m thankful we…

Steps to a Good Day

Sunday Drive
Some of my fondest memories from childhood are when my parents would load up the car with a picnic lunch and we would go on a Sunday drive. It always felt like a grand adventure. The best part of a Sunday Drive is that you have no set destination so you can feel free to…

Apple Picking
Its not fall until you go apple picking! We took advantage of the last warm days to enjoy apple picking and a picnic lunch. Finding happiness in the simple things and looking forward to homemade apple pie.

Sandpoint Farmers Market
A great thing about moving to a different part of the county is you have seemingly endless options for new things to do. Yes, even in a small town like ours. Lucky for us we love being outside so all the lakes, mountains, and rivers will keep us plenty busy for some time. When we…
