    On the San Juan

    On the San Juan

    Sometimes you just need to get away, take your covid-test, pack extra food, water and hand sanitizer, and drive. After canceling our family trip to Illinois we decided to drive to see family in Utah instead. Needless to say this year has not gone as planned. We knew it was time for a break, and […]

    Welcome to the Backcounty Little One

    Welcome to the Backcounty Little One

    Heart pumping, legs climbing, cool mountain breeze blowing, welcome to the backcountry little one. Welcome to views that go on for miles. Welcome to the scent of pine after a thunder storm. Welcome to the sound of wind blowing through the mountain passes. Welcome little one to a whole new world of sights, smells and […]

    Desert Daisy Face Oil

    Desert Daisy Face Oil

    I spend a lot of time in the hot desert sun, which does a number on my skin, this has led me to be a sucker for all things natural skincare. Give me hydrating creams, serums, and body oil, and I will treat myself to a beauty routine that would make Aphrodite proud. It seems […]

    Thank you to all the first responders, medical worker, and service people who keep going to work. You keep the rest of us safe, healthy, and fed during this difficult time.

    Missing you

    Missing you

    These are strange scary times. I hope everyone is staying safe, and staying at home. It’s been hard knowing that our adventures will be put on hold for awhile. We had lots of plans for camping in the desert this spring, but for now I will just had to imagine myself in the Mojave. We […]

    Death Valley is better with family

    Death Valley is better with family

    Death Valley is one of our favorite places to visit. We have had many adventures within the National Park. They include such epics as, backpacking cross-county up sheep canyon, driving miles of 4×4 trails, entering the park from almost every direction, including the infamous Titus Canyon, and who can forget the flat tire fiasco of […]

    Desert Season

    Desert Season

    Its that time of year again. When the temps drop to a bearable level the desert becomes our favorite playground again. Living in Southern California has its drawbacks, the traffic and crowds being two big ones. However, no matter how crazy the greater LA area gets you can always find a vacant stretch of desert […]

    Oak Glen

    Oak Glen

    My favorite time of year is autumn.  Southern California may still feel like summer  but you can start to sense a bit of crispness in the air. The mornings are a bit cool and you may even be able to don a sweater before the sun fully comes out! To celebrate the fall equinox we […]

    Our Birth Story

    Our Birth Story

    Even before I knew I wanted to have children I loved to hear women’s birth stories. The journey to meeting that little being who was inside you for 9 months is so amazing. Now I am able to share my own story. On Thursday at around 230 am I woke up feeling a little crampy, […]
