Depression and Other Things

… *stares at blank page*… Well, it’s wintertime again and I finally feel “normal.” Which isn’t usually the case when wintertime rolls around. But with fun snow days like these it’s hard to feel sad sometimes. Usually, by now I’m feeling the beginnings of SAD creeping in. However, this year I went a little intoContinueContinue reading “Depression and Other Things”

Flashback Friday: Blue Spring

~Day Hikes and Baby Wipes~ I’m sorry for the hiatus but the new baby distracted me from a lot of things *cough— writing—cough* over the last two months. Now that I’m recovered from the c-section, lack of sleep, and visiting family I’m starting to get my writing bug back. I’ve been posting to my poetryContinueContinue reading “Flashback Friday: Blue Spring”

Day Hikes & Baby Wipes: Fort Niobrara NWR

I really enjoy hiking at the refuge in my back yard! He had a bug on his hat… Now that I’m feeling more like myself I took myself on a self prescribed hike with my 2 year old and 3 week old. It was wonderful! Little video and TikTok plug…

Wannabe Asleep

Is it still 2023? I have no recollection of being this tired with my first child but our newest little adventurer is taking it out of me. Also say hello to my new hiking buddy! Newest hiking buddy! It also doesn’t help that the oldest slightly bigger adventurer is 2 and doesn’t have an offContinueContinue reading “Wannabe Asleep”

It’s a new year, a new day, and I have a new baby on the way!

Baby Wipes & Day Hikes: Big Spring Trail

Sunset on the Current River, Missouri. I got to go home over Thanksgiving. I had a week to show my son around my hometown, hunt, spend time with family, and hike. Hunter has been there back in February but that was a quick trip and we didn’t do a lot of exploring. I should haveContinueContinue reading “Baby Wipes & Day Hikes: Big Spring Trail”

Wannabe on the Trail: Influencing

I’ve been thinking a lot lately— inspired by a documentary. Imagine that. Anyways, I watched Fake Famous. It’s an interesting look at how we view influencing and a social experiment into how to become a mega influencer. Me, trying to be “on brand” I related the most with Chris but I don’t think I deserveContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Influencing”

Back and Ready for it!

It’s been a while! Those of you that follow me on Instagram and Facebook probably know that I’ve been struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety. In great news, I’m finally coming out of the fog and starting to do the things I enjoyed. Here’s to new content, updates, and maybe some new videos and photosContinueContinue reading “Back and Ready for it!”

Adventures in Motherhood

Hi all… It’s been a minute. I need coffee, a shower, and a nap… the order doesn’t matter. Once again the blog got neglected but this time I have a good reason… a tiny almost ten pound reason. Hunter takes up a lot of my day- then there are the naps. Plus, I wanted toContinueContinue reading “Adventures in Motherhood”

Feeling Lazy at Week 37…

Hi all, I’ve been busy with grad school (again), “helping” Wade get the nursery done, and finishing up some stuff for work before I go on maternity leave. I haven’t gotten out an explored, nor have I done any book reviews. I’m hoping to change that soon… Nursery Photos! I’m to the point in pregnancyContinueContinue reading “Feeling Lazy at Week 37…”

Baby Blues and Hiking Boots

I need bigger hiking boots…and flip flops…maybe I’ll just go barefoot. My feet are swelling and right now shoes of any kind are the bane of my existence right now. Plus, fun fact a lot of women that have babies wind up moving up a shoe size- so, I might need to find bigger hikingContinueContinue reading “Baby Blues and Hiking Boots”

Wandering Sisters!

This weekend wasn’t long enough. For a couple reasons. One, my sister, P.J. flew up for the weekend- I wish I could have kidnapped her and kept her up here for a few more days… or a month…or a year… My sister! Checking out Norden Chute. Two, we had to pack a lot of stuffContinueContinue reading “Wandering Sisters!”

Best Laid Plans

Well… That didn’t go as planned. Also short boring post this week. The doctor appointment went well but we didn’t leave as early as we would have liked going to North Platte and then we didn’t leave North Platte until almost six and I had a dog that practically ran me over to get outsideContinueContinue reading “Best Laid Plans”
