All mothers of boys know that talk and play involving explosions, predators, and things that stink are just commonplace. In my home, I have to times all that chaos by four! (Enrique is always considered one of the “boys”) So when it was time to decide where we should take our next family adventure, there […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
