easter cakery (a story of excess).

Posted on April 9, 2023April 25, 2023by sarah

spring break 2023
the longest hardest hike.

Posted on April 7, 2023April 25, 2023by sarah

as has become standard over the years, we planned for one of the days of our spring break trip to be a big fat longer hike for me (and a much needed day of doing nothing for my people who enjoy doing nothing and derek who was a little under the weather for the whole […]

spring break 2023
bryson city day.

Posted on April 7, 2023April 24, 2023by sarah

our second day of spring break was a little drizzly and overcast, so we figured it was a good day to do some shopping and exploring in bryson city. you know, making sure we were close to shelter. but before we hit the city, we drove up “the road to nowhere” to walk through the […]

spring break 2023.
wesser bald fire tower hike.

Posted on April 6, 2023April 24, 2023by sarah

spring break 2023…

Posted on April 6, 2023April 24, 2023by sarah

for spring break this year, we packed up and headed to an airbnb, in the wilderness of the nantahala national forest, on the tippy western end of north carolina. as the children grow, so does the volume of our “luggage” (reusable shopping bags, mostly), making packing the back of the subaru feel like the most […]

march mayhem (madness was taken).

Posted on March 31, 2023April 16, 2023by sarah

vance. freaking. joy.

Posted on March 25, 2023April 16, 2023by sarah

so. i am a big fan of vance joy, a singer-songwriter from australia, whose music our family fell in love with while were on the road. i sort of never thought i would have the opportunity to see him live. i mean. he was mostly in australia, not SUPER famous, and when we were on […]

february and all of it’s non essential happenings.

Posted on March 1, 2023April 16, 2023by sarah
