impromptu to boone. (mostly a tale about another solo hike).

Posted on April 6, 2025April 10, 2025by sarah

in an attempt to spice up our life a little, and not sit around all weekend in this stupid house, we made a semi-spontaneous decision to head to boone with the fam. and then we also made the decision to have me go up a day early to have some alone time without the fam. […]

march (very non-)madness

Posted on March 31, 2025April 10, 2025by sarah

march was really quite boring around here. aside from a solo camping trip for me and a trip to nyc for derek and anna, the rest of the month was just standard mundane life. maybe even less exciting than that. first of all, i know this to be true, because about half of my camera […]

spring break (in my late 40s).

Posted on March 8, 2025March 19, 2025by sarah

my spring break at forsyth tech was a measly four days long and also did not coincide with the girls spring break from public school, so it seemed like another good time to make a dash into the wilderness, for a little solo, camping, hiking, rest, and recharge trip. since it was the first week […]

v. uneventful august.

Posted on August 31, 2024February 5, 2025by sarah

if it seemed like the summer was whirlwind, stuffed full of vacations and adventures, you’re not mistaken. it was made even more hectic, because the school calendar was moved forward by about two weeks this year, so the kiddos were back at it in early august. not crazy about it, but come next may, we […]

lazy kayaking the au train.

Posted on June 20, 2024January 10, 2025by sarah

we spent our first week on the upper peninsula in a little cabin on the au train lake. during that week, on every excursion to and from our cabin, we drove over two bridges that crossed the au train river, which lazily winds from au train lake to lake superior. on one particularly beautiful and […]

travel day. two capitals, fabric, and an old friend.

Posted on June 12, 2024January 5, 2025by sarah

after the rock house hike and otherworld, we made many more stops en route to our next accomodations, making this one day (june 12 to be exact) quite long. while still in columbus, we checked another state capitol building off our list. the kids are still such troopers about this. then we made the first […]

happy mothers day to me. </br>camping/hiking edition.

Posted on May 12, 2024February 8, 2025by sarah

immediately after dropping off my cake donation, i loaded up the outback and rolled off to the mountains for a little solo mother’s day camping and hiking trip. derek gifted me some car camping gear, to see if that’s preferable to tent camping. for this first attempt, he booked me a hipcamp site near brevard, […]

  • making stuff with needles and thread

samples and gifts.

Posted on May 1, 2024January 2, 2025by sarah

sometimes, at the quilt shop, we get a product or pattern that “needs” an example, or a sample, to be constructed for display to the customers. when we received some adorable camping themed panels with one of our collections, i planned to make them up either way, so it worked out that i could make […]

a little fall trip to the mountains

Posted on October 16, 2023November 8, 2023by sarah

we didn’t do a very good job of participating in fall themed activities this year. pumpkin patches and whatnot. but, we did manage to squeeze in a weekend excursion to asheville to get the heck out of winston-salem and see some of the color changing leaves of the mountains. we drove out after school on […]
