In 2024, I made it a full year consistently in one planner size: personal rings. And my archive book gives me all the feels when I go back and flip through it. 2025 has seen a bit more flip flopping. I started off in personal rings, had some affairs with…

Hiking Blue Ledges
Darby is now an almost 6 year old chocolate lab. She has been our wild mountain biking dog since 4 months old… sadly she’s got some arthritis issues that we’ve been working through – so biking is on the back burner (for now)…. Enter her HIKING era… This is our…

BIRDCAM 2025: The First Visitors
BIRDS HAVE COME… and I am thrilled. And also, I have no clue how this camera app works. It has been a little over two months since we hung the bird house (March 11, 2025) … and I received the first “security alert” that there was movement in the birdhouse…

Hiking to Rock Pond

The 4-3-2-1 Way Hiking Challenge
I came across this hiking challenge back in 2017 and figured it would be a breeze to complete seeing as it only consisted of 10 hikes total. Enter life… and now 8 years have passed. I’m close… but still not quite finished with this challenge. The challenge requires completing 4…

I Installed a Birdhouse Camera — Here’s What Happened
For my birthday last September, my in-laws gifted me this birdhouse with an inside camera, allowing you to watch what happens inside. I WAS SO EXCITED to put this out… and today was the day! You may be wondering why I waited until now (March) to put this up, seeing…
