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 […]
As I have stated many times already in our short lived blog, I like learning about and experiencing how other people lived and even live now. I have always enjoyed a good historical fiction book, and my first introduction to them was from my then 70 year old Aunt Opal who gave me a stack […]
As we shared in the first edition, we are here to share all aspects of our adventures. We are real people not trying to glam things up when we share here on the blog. If we were hosting a fashion blog, we would be showcasing perfect hair and makeup while sporting trendsetting wardrobes. If we […]
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 […]
It’s Bucket List time!! Just like the previous month, Caroline and I are going to share 10 of our “Bucket List” items with you. Even though some of these items may seem a little extreme for a “Lagom” lifestyle, I hope to continue to expand my adventuring horizons and take new chances in time. That […]
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 […]

The members of Parkland Crossfit (PCF) have been mine and Enrique’s second […]
I am a football fan. I’ll watch any football game but I am a Dallas Cowboys fan. Have been for probably 25 years or so. The good years of Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith and then the not so good years. I remember the STL Cardinals then the years without a local team. Next came […]
On occasions we are moved by the words we hear or the words we read. And we have decided to share those thoughts with you. Katie is sharing our first #ThoughfulThursday post with you. Warning, this is not going to be one of those fun adventure posts that I typically write. Today’s blog is […]
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 […]
Aaron and I hadn’t been dating too long and we were looking for something to do on a Saturday with Sam. Years ago I had taken Hunter and Kenzie on a train ride down in Jackson. They were probably 5 and 7ish at the time. I remember as a warm hour long rambling train ride […]
