A Spell for Starting Over (Sandhills Edition)

Cross Posted on my Substack: Prairie River Witch Newsletter After my near miss last year, I’m living with a no regrets policy. I’m also going to “start over” and branch out a little more. I still intend to follow through with the basis of this page– wannabe backpacking, but right now where I’m going (chasingContinueContinue reading “A Spell for Starting Over (Sandhills Edition)”

From the Ozarks to the Sandhills

A Wandering Witch with Coffee & Camera Notes from the Edge of the Map Hey y’all, ~Let me reintroduce myself~ I’m BJ Roshone – a barefoot wanderer raised in the wild green hills of the Ozarks, now chasing light and stories in the Nebraska Sandhills. Most days, you’ll find me with a camera in oneContinueContinue reading “From the Ozarks to the Sandhills”

Havasupai Gardens

Hi all! I’m still taking my time writing my posts from this summer, float trip on the Current River in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways and day hikes in Glacier National Park. However, this announcement from Grand Canyon National Park caught my interest and I wanted to post an update about my first overnight backpackingContinueContinue reading “Havasupai Gardens”

Wannabe on the Trail: Winter Hiking

Not going to lie I’m not big on winter hiking. I respect those that go out and do it– safely. However, after scrolling various social media channels there are a lot of folks that don’t. You can do it safely. Hike in pairs or have a detailed plan outlining your stops etc. left with aContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Winter Hiking”

Take a Hike

It’s National Take a Hike Day! Rocky Falls! I took this picture I think in 2009. And I had to work… and I’m taking a shift on the ambulance so I have to be ready to respond. So no hikes for me… Dammit. But if you have a chance, go take a hike! Well, becauseContinueContinue reading “Take a Hike”

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”

Fast talking in Branson

Well… hiking around Table Rock didn’t happen. Combination of limited free time, a coughing cranky baby, and coughing cranky parents— it’s not Delta either. I’m sick of this car seat mom! Little man picked up a cold from daycare and decided to share the wealth. We masked up when needed which in Branson wasn’t normal—ContinueContinue reading “Fast talking in Branson”

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!”

It’s been a while…

Hi all, I fell off the map. Sorry about that. Things got a little hectic again. Time got away from me and my blogging plans went off the rails. I had a major round with seasonal affective disorder again. Adding to it was anxiety and stress caused by postpartum issues, plus COVID-19 wasn’t helping myContinueContinue reading “It’s been a while…”

Hayduke Blues

*I wrote this two weeks ago and forgot about it… sleep deprivation strikes again… Hi all! It’s been a busy month and a half again! The baby has me in a foggy addled state. We’ve been getting outside on the nicer days but between my recovery from the c-section and Princesses recovery I haven’t feltContinueContinue reading “Hayduke Blues”

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”

Week 38-40…

Well I’m playing catch-up again but that seems to be stemming from my lack of coherent brain cells at the moment. I’m pretty sure my little man stole all my brain cells- I’m only now starting to get them back. It only took three months…🤣 I’m trying to get all caught up on here, myContinueContinue reading “Week 38-40…”

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…”
