once again, i find myself playing blog catch up. so despite it being a beautiful day, i’m going to attempt to race through a few posts from the inside of our warm tin can camper. i’ll begin by wrapping up our second week in ohio. we were pretty lazy on the day after our cuyahoga […]
letchworth. week 2.
our second week at letchworth was a little more low-key than the first. after all of the weekend campers cleared out, we took over the bathroom to get this grubby kid all cleaned up. since the showers only blast scalding hot water, we opted for the sink. we went to warsaw, to laurie’s diner or […]

december stuff.
i’m trying to pretend that it’s not already mid-january as i post the happenings of december. well, the happenings that aren’t cool hikes, christmas, super sick babies, sewing, abandoning our dog, or buying an rv. so, here’s what our december looked like when those other things weren’t happening. firstly, hazel had to move out of […]
public school dropouts.
after a long few first months at school, derek and i and the kids decided that we would begin homeschooling. originally, the plan was to wait until christmas break, but the more we thought about it, we just didn’t see the point in waiting it out for no actual reason, so the tuesday before thanksgiving […]
