About this time last year, I shared a blog about our adventure to the Renaissance Faire inspired by love of historical fiction (which you can read about here). 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 […]
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 […]
By Darlene – Katie’s Mom Usually if Katie Martinez says we are going somewhere I say “Great! Let’s Go!” But this time, when she said we were hiking Half Dome……I wouldn’t even read about this adventure like the others in the crew were doing. It scared me too much. I had someone else to do […]
Lagom Adventures attempting Half Dome at Yosemite National Park!
Our second book selection was going to start in June, and I wanted something with a good summer feel. I am a sucker for road trips. I would much prefer to drive than fly. Not because of any fears, but I want to see all that I can of America along the way. So I […]
Hello Lagom Adventurers! We’re Back!! Many of you may have been wondering what’s been going on with us lately since we haven’t had any new blog posts other than our Weekly Recommendations.

And when part of your job is an Athletic Director in charge of two baseball teams and a softball team, that’s not good! I’ve spent most […]
Have you ever set a goal or had certain expectations and things just didn’t turn out as planned? It happens to me all the time to be honest, but I’ve been lucky for the most part in relation to Caroline and mine’s hiking adventures. Even when we just wing it, we still have met or […]
As Caroline and I have mentioned before, we are both teachers. So here it is on a Friday evening about 4:00 and I’m still here at school, waiting until it’s time to take my son to the school dance. Life of a teacher….right?!?! As I’m sitting here, scrolling through the school’s newspaper, I come across […]
In our first post about our first completed section of the Ozark Trail that Caroline and I finished together, (Ketcherside Mountain to Taum Sauk), we originally thought that we would try to complete all the sections as a duo. Up to that point we’d both completed other sections separately. However, that may have not been […]
