Most days, you’ll find me with a camera in oneContinueContinue reading “From the Ozarks to the Sandhills”

2024 Goals
Harvest Moon, September 18, 2024 I started writing this in January– it’s now September. Oddly enough, this year I spent a lot of time in my head. I took pictures and video– wrote a little bit of poetry, that was about it in the writing realm– and working on the Pennington Book Project. I thinkContinueContinue reading “2024 Goals”
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…

Flashback Friday: Glacier National Park August 2022
Flashback Friday!
I’m getting my groove back and writing again. All the projects I’ve procrastinated on I’m finally getting done!
Here is my overview of hiking in Glacier NP.
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”
Time Flies When You’re (not) Having Fun
Open’s an eye and looks around– is summer over yet? Almost. Time officially got away from me. Most of that is due to taking on a temporary promotion at work and having more duties as assigned. It’s starting to slow done but the ride isn’t over yet. Vacation in the Ozarks— Current River style. OtherContinueContinue reading “Time Flies When You’re (not) Having Fun”
Wannabe on the Trail: Germ Theory…
It’s not what you think. Well, it kind of is… To begin, germ theory according to Britannia.com is, “germ theory, in medicine, the theory that certain diseases are caused by the invasion of the body by microorganisms, organisms too small to be seen except through a microscope.” It’s pretty spot on if you ask me.ContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Germ Theory…”
Wannabe on the Trail: Wannabes and Posers
Mom I wannabe watching cartoons… on your new phone! Hi all– I’m still trying to get back into the swing of things. But I’m still wheezing a little and it’s cold outside–I’m so weak. However, I watched the new Netflix special Inventing Anna. I really don’t understand my fasciation with millennial fraudsters but I’m goingContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Wannabes and Posers”
Wannabe on the Trail: SAD, Sick, and on the Mend
I don’t really have a lot to say but I figured I better do an update! Coivd sucked– I’m glad I had the vaccine. I did better than my husband (unvaxxed) but it still sucked. I still feel exhausted from it. However, I’m doing better and starting to get active again. It’s slow going though–ContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: SAD, Sick, and on the Mend”
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”
