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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.

What’s that old saying? “April showers bring May flowers.” If that’s the case, then May should be loaded with them! It’s done nothing but rain for the past month. 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 […]
For some odd know reason, I have always had a fascination with roller derby. Maybe it stems from as a kid watching roller derby on television. I would turn the channel (yes, an actual knob) to find one of the seven channels we had that carried women’s roller derby. I remember a team called the […]
Today I turned 43. I’m in my 40s. I’m middle aged. I can remember high school like it was yesterday but it was 25 years ago. How did that happen? Where did my 30s go? I’m 43 and probably the most comfortable I have ever been with myself. I probably know myself better than I […]
