My New Year’s Goals…Not Resolutions from Lagom Adventures
It’s a tradition to set New Year’s Resolutions every year, and I’ve done them myself. Of course, there are those non-traditionalists who prefer not to set any resolutions. That’s okay too. When I was thinking about I wanted to do for a Resolution this year, I caught myself calling them “Goals.” Maybe it’s all that […]
Missouri Hiking Trail Review: Hawn State Park
Once again, it’s that time of year to #optoutside! Instead of participating in Thanksgiving’s version of the “running of the bulls”, a.k.a Black Friday, that features herds of people stampeding through stores to get that half-priced television or the blender that Great Uncle Soandso just can’t live without, we at Lagom Adventures are going to […]
It’s a Challenging Time of Year
As I began putting my thoughts down on paper, it is the morning of a mid-November snow day. I have been mulling this over for a week or so, but am putting it to “paper” this morning. My over active mind decided it was time. We are entering the holiday season. Thanksgiving is next […]

Within this blog, I mentioned that you need to attend these events with an open mind because you will see an array of characters – ranging from […]
Learning to Be Satisfied
With the Labor Day Weekend behind us, summer is unofficially over. For some of us who started back to school a few weeks ago, mentally it has been over longer. With this time comes the proverbial question, “Did you have a good summer?” It is sort of like the question, “How are you?” It’s expected […]
Oakley’s First Hike: A Back-to-School Hike up Hughes Mountain
My “baby” Oakley turned 3 years old at the end of July and I decided it was time for his first “real hike.” Up to this point, I would consider my youngest a pretty experienced hiker. I’ve taken him all over our great state of Missouri on many different trails, and last Christmas the kid […]
Visiting Egypt (and more) at The St. Louis Art Museum
Over the Easter Weekend, Aaron and I had big plans to leave town and head to Arkansas to camp and hike, but unfortunately the weather forecast wasn’t cooperating so we decided to stay in town. I didn’t want to completely waste my extended weekend, so I decided to look for something indoors and closer to […]
