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 […]
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 […]
Early one (almost) spring, Sunday morning, I woke up and had an itch to explore someplace new! Even though there were local trails I still have yet to explore, I had my eye on a couple Illinois trails that featured waterfalls (according to All Trails App) and with the recent rains, I figured it would […]
We made it! And Buffalo National River did not disappoint! The trails were amazing, yet pushed us more than usual, the fall colors were beautiful, the food was delicious, the hotel was incredible, and the company was priceless! When Caroline and I first started our venture into blogging about our little adventures, one of […]
Repetition with a bit of the unexpected is what you can count on during an adventure with my mom. Aren’t the trees beautiful. It’s just the perfect weekend to look at the leaves. Jess look at the leaves. That skirt is great deal. I think I am going to buy it. I want a turkey […]
After last weekend I think I have set a new personal challenge for myself or another bucket list item – to eat my way through every county fair in Missouri. And I may as well add the state fair in there too. Last weekend Aaron, Sam, Reese, and I took a day trip down south […]
If you have noticed by now, Katie and I have like – or love – food trucks. I’m not exactly sure why, but if I had to pinpoint a reason it would be the variety and quality. Normally food truck gatherings offer a variety. Each truck picks 4-5 things they do well and concentrates on […]
Aaron and I set out this past weekend with the good intentions of checking out the Japanese Festival at the Botanical Gardens with the backup plan being the Greek Festival. We were going to head out early and then I wanted to go a little further north and check out a trail from the book […]
Sometimes in the middle of all the chaos and kids you need an adult weekend getaway. Last summer that is exactly what Aaron and I needed. We realized we had an available weekend and I began to research our best opportunities like I always do. So on the spur of the moment Thursday evening, we […]
This blog is changing how I live my life. This past weekend I had no “had to do plans” so normally I would piddle around the house, watch Netflix, or do nothing noteworthy. Aaron was also available so I felt like I should take advantage of it. I felt like I should do something on […]
