Reaching up for fresh air 

It has been an exciting last few days!  We went camping this past weekend at Sweetwater County Park in Bonita, CA.  The trip was planned somewhat spur of the moment when my cousin reminded me that her daughter still kept asking when we were going to go camping and take them with us.

My favorite moment – kite flying 

I’m not going to lie, motherhood / parenthood is filled with a ton of not so great moments that no other parent or book could possibly describe to you as well as actually living through it.

Lights Out!

What an experience these past 4 days turned out to be! When my husband told me he had booked us a cabin for our camping trip, this is what I envisioned in my mind Not so much all the nice furniture, but definitely along the lines of electricity, heating system, and although I didn’t go… Continue reading Lights Out!

One with Nature

We are going camping this weekend!!! Can you tell I’m excited? I had never been camping until I met my husband, and I do mean the sleep in a tent and bundle up in your sleeping bag camping kind of thing.
