the kid project 
I walked up the short flight of stairs and entered the small village at the base of Grand Targhee Resort. The air was crisp and cold, friends were huddled around the fires with an apré-ski beer, a couple of moms bounced infants snuggled deep in layers of down. One dad carried a passed-out toddler, goggles…

Good morning friends. It has been awhile since I grabbed my fresh cup of coffee, sat by the fire, and had a conversation with you all. This is undoubtedly something I plan on changing in the new year. More writing, more listening, more conversation. We have so many new followers to the blog recently, and…

If you’ve been reading the blog for the past 6 months, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that we purchased an Airstream trailer, and have been adventuring in it a bit. We were fortunate that the previous owners were also happy to sell us a Honda EU2000 generator. The generator was pretty much a requirement out of the…

I love words. And I love words that aren’t even real words. My current favorite is discombobulated. Isn’t that a great word?! And man, I cannot think of a better word to describe our family on most our adventures. 🙂 Why do I choose a word every year? Every year for the last 8 years I’ve…

Let’s pretend for a moment that we are sitting across the table from one another. An old oak table, worn smooth and polished by the thousands of fingertips strummed along its surface. We pull our mugs of coffee close and I ask, How have you been? Imagine your response. I will imagine it also. I…

If you clicked on the link to this post, then I am guessing you have hard days too. The days that leave you raw and doubting and numb. For awhile now we’ve been on the road and just returned home – We spent roughly 30 nights in our Airstream and two months gone from home. You can…

We are feeling so very lucky to have snagged 5 nights camping in Fort Stevens State Park, Oregon. As we work and school from the road, we’ve felt the necessity of slowing down our travels even more than we anticipated. Our time to explore an area is much slower than it would be in “weekend…

We have been in the Airstream for three weeks, and while we were at the family’s ranch for part of the time, we still camped out front as all of the Erickson clan descended for the eclipse. We spent time enjoying ranch life, which includes everything one would expect: cleaning horses, riding horses, feeding horses….

A deep sigh escapes my lips. Chris and I joke that we have roughly 20 of these deep “sighs” that need to escape as we re-learn to relax on every trip. After 4 weeks of travel, I think this might be sigh #17 for me. 🙂 Four weeks done and we are only half way…

If you have been following along on social media via Facebook or Instagram, then you know that we recently purchased a 25′ Airstream Safari SS. The story to ownership is truly an adventure in itself. One that involved driving to Santa Rosa, CA after one of Chris trail running races, examining the Airstream in 107…

Right now the warm water is pressing up to my toes, as my heels sink down in the sand. The mountains are green from the fresh snowmelt and somewhere in them are my two oldest children, away at their first overnight camp. I am not gonna lie, we’ve been struggling with our kids getting older….
