Creating Family Connections One RV Adventure at a Time
A year ago if you had told me that in 2020 a new virus would essentially shut down the world for weeks, I probably would have scoffed a bit and chuckled at your doomsday prediction. And yet, here we sit, only a few weeks out from the Covid crescendo, and our world is forever changed. Covid’s effects will continue to be felt for months to
Today’s the day!!! My new ebook The Ultimate RV Trip Planner officially launched on Amazon. There were so many months during the writing, editing, and formatting process that I wasn’t sure this day would ever happen. And now that it’s here I want to celebrate! Since I can’t gather you all around a campfire for a s’mores party, instead I have a couple special offers, which I explain
Ah sweet travel–what’s not to love: The thrill of the adventure. The quality time spent with loved ones. The respite from everyday responsibilities. And the mound of laundry that replicates every night. Oh, yeah. So maybe that part of the travel lifestyle is not so cool. Over the years of RVing, though, we’ve found a few secrets to keep the laundry situation under control while
Every year the kids and I have fun DIY-ing several Christmas gifts. Some years have turned out better than others–like the year we attempted to paint the beautiful pinecones we had brought back from our West trip. That was an epic fail! In addition to the teachers, neighbors, and friends we like to remember at Christmas, we also try to come up with a creative

Last year when Jarrett and I plotted out our (very) early summer RV adventure, we knew our family would be growing by four paws at the beginning of the new year. However, Resa (which means to travel in Swedish) and her littermates arrived much later than even the breeder had expected, which meant we brought a new puppy home just five weeks before we left
You may have seen over on our social media accounts that we recently got a new puppy. Her name is Resa, which means “to travel” in Swedish, and she will indeed be traveling with us early this summer on our RVing adventure. We’ve never camped with such a young puppy, though, so I’m sure we will have lots to learn. Thankfully we have had a
Spring has sprung, and I know many of you in the North are counting down the weekends until you can pull those sleepy campers from their long winter’s rest and hit the road again. As you get ready for the camping season by organizing the camper and loading things back in, here’s some important information to keep in mind so you don’t inadvertently overload your
Last week we shared how storing our camper in the South saved us time and money this winter. And while this plan worked out really well for us, having a camper in storage forced me to prep and pack entirely different from the way I typically get ready for our camping trips. Usually our camper is parked right next to our garage, so loading the RV
For many families making their rounds of the Utah 5 National Parks, a visit to Bryce Canyon is a highly anticipated stop. With its sweeping vistas and spectacular hikes, Bryce offers something for everyone. But with most of the camping options concentrated immediately around Bryce, families that want to escape the crowds and explore Bryce…
For many families planning a trip to the Utah region, their itineraries often center on hitting the high points of iconic stops like Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, and Arches. Several lesser-known parks are also worth the stop, though, and for families looking for ways to escape the crowds, Cedar Breaks National Monument should be on…
