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 […]
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 […]
It’s March 11th as I type this and I was able to the get in a short hike this weekend. The last of the winter hikes I’m afraid (although it has snowed today). This is the first winter where I have actively hiked more than just one or two hikes on a nice winter day. […]
Back in the day, say around 2008, I was a member of a scrapbooking community that had a very large and active message board. I can’t say that I was an active poster, but I was a faithful reader and lurker. And you can’t even imagine the diversity of topics and wealth of information I […]
The Bucket List is a few days late this month because instead of bringing you 10 items from our list, we decided to share 14 Bucket List items to do with your better half. After researching some possible experiences to add to this list, I found that most were things you could do alone, but […]
Katie and I decided that in 2018 we were going to make it a point to hike as much of the Ozark Trail as we possibly could. Would we be able to hike in one continuous allotted amount of time? No. Would we be able to hike in “order” or from north to south or […]
This month we are going to do something a little different with our bucket list. I came across a Pinterest post titled “The Ultimate Bucket list for Sisters” which caught my attention. Out of curiosity I read it and realized that many of the items on the list I’ve already done with my sisters (I […]
Caroline Here- I’m sitting here on New Year’s Eve with no major plans, which I actually prefer, and looking ahead to 2018. It’s that time of year that people make those resolutions that look good on paper but maybe last three months tops. I haven’t made “the normal” resolutions for years. I know I won’t […]
If you are struggling to find just right Christmas gifts this season, let me encourage you to give the gift of adventure or experience. Instead of buying things to take up space; spend money on memory making opportunities. Those memories will last a lifetime. We have been able to do this a couple times in […]
