Read MoreWe haven’t been here & we are sorry!
Our time in the van didn’t go as we had planned, that’s for sure. We had to take a mental health break and we are so grateful we did. However, during the process of us taking care of our mental health, we neglected our BETHOONIES. We want to start fresh, so I refunded everyone’s monthly…
Read MoreBoondocking or Bustdocking?
We LOVE to boondock. In fact we love it so much that we have 2 off grid boondocking machines! The minute we decided to live a nomadic life, I knew that I wanted to spend as much of that time as I can off grid, in the wood, by a river, on a mountain. There…

Read MoreFinally got on the Insta-Cooker Bandwagon!
Okay a lot of you have been telling me for a long time to get an “Insta-Pot”. I resisted this for a LONGGGGG Time! Spending several months living in a van that wasn’t outfitted for any type of cooking has proved to be challenging. I ended up getting a small portable Colman griddle/BBQ. I LOVE…
Read MoreTheodore wears many hats.
Theodore is probably the smartest dog I have ever encountered. He just “gets it” is the best way I can decribe him. He has been Jenn’s Service dog for PTSD for pretty much all of his life. He loves his job, hes amazing at it. One of the things that I feel makes him special…

Visiting the Olympic Peninsula has been on our list of places to visit since day one. Much to our surprise there is very few options as far as boondocking in the OP. As you might expect it is a very popular area to explore in the 10 days of sunshine that the PNW gets every…

Well, we are on the road! It’s sad, but exhilarating to be traveling separately. We are definitely missing each other though. I have never been camping by myself, let alone in a van, with 2 of the kids, and 4 dogs ?Even though it’s a little scary, I am so excited to accomplish this. Being…

I’ve designed a lot of things in the course of my life and with every new design project, I go by the feels. While I’m shopping, I take note of what sparks joy in me when I see it. I never really know what I’m going to end up with, because it’s in the moment…
