In 15 years of marriage, our family has lived in 8 homes, on 2 coasts, in 4 states, and in 2 countries. I’m striving to create a strong, resilient and happy family despite moving far from family and friends. My family believes life is an adventure, and we are blessed to have many places we call home.

I started this blog as a way to document our family’s moves and adventures, but it’s turned into so much more that that.

The world is enormous; childhood is fleeting; life is an adventure. My little family is finding that balance between adventure and reality; setting up homes and systems that create time for fun; maintaining connections despite time and distance; and navigating parenting with grace.

In the past 15 years, I’ve:

• had two kids under two

• had three children under age four

• survived 2 intensive years of daily therapy for our son

• had a husband who traveled 2 out of every 4 weeks

• lived in a different country from my husband (married single mom)

• lived far (very far!) from extended family

• was separated from family and friends by a closed international border (covid) for 19 months

• has a husband who commutes to a different country 3 out of 7 days weekly

If I can find joy in parenting, so can you!

I’m here to help you eliminate your Groundhog’s Day symptoms. I’m here to help you become a calmer and more connected parent. And I’m here to inspire you to be creative, get outside, and create joy in your life.

Being a mom is like no other job in the world- and it can be lonely. But we aren’t alone. We have each other. I love sharing what’s worked for me, and I know you can transform your home and find re-yourself in motherhood, too.
