An Adventure Themed Nursery (and a Free Printable)

March 16, 2020 Jess

While we're dreaming of future family trips, we're trying to instill an early love for adventure in the littlest one. It seemed fitting that the inspiration for his nursery struck while we were exploring Yoho National Park in British Columbia, Canada. Just a short drive from Banff National Park, Yoho is smaller but just as stunning.

November 27, 2019December 1, 2019 Jess

Most years, we’re trekking mountains or exploring new beaches over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. This year, things look a L I T T L E bit different. 🎀 👶🏼
Happy Father’s Day, @trevpawl! Every day that our little man gets to experience the world with your guidance is a gift. We’re so grateful for you.
This time, last year, in MAINE. We ate all the seafood 🦞, danced on all the beaches ⛱, and experienced every type of late spring weather that Mother Nature could throw at us 💨
When water is medicine. ✨
This was the second time we booked this outdated Airbnb, located inconveniently far from civilization. And here’s why: It’s big enough to sleep our whole family comfortably and just look at this lot … green, grassy hills; vast, sandy beach; and endless Lake Huron views.
Kentucky’s Red River Gorge is a Midwestern hiker’s dream (and driveable, although we flew into Lexington to have some fun first 😜).
A stay at the @elmoorelodge in Detroit has long been on my list, so it was a no-brainer to pop into the new Seasons Market & Cafe, which shares the same Midtown lot of land and just opened this spring.
Headed to Lake Huron’s “sunset side” in Ontario for the first time this season, to take advantage of the 80-degree temps and smaller May crowds.
