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)”

Recovery
Sunny warm days make it all better. Hey. It’s been a while. How have you been? I’ve been struggling for a bit. I haven’t updated this in a while. After my last post in September, work and life got busy and I pushed a lot of my projects to the back burner. Then on NovemberContinueContinue reading “Recovery”
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”

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”
Flashback Friday: Agate Fossil Beds National National Monument, August 2015
The Niobrara is there I promise! I had never heard of this place. Scottsbluff— Chimney Rock, learned about them in 5th grade but it wasn’t until I headed to Nebraska in 2014 I heard about Agate. Even then I didn’t make it over there… Pulling in! But I planned time to go the next year.ContinueContinue reading “Flashback Friday: Agate Fossil Beds National National Monument, August 2015”
Snow Squall… WTF?
I just closed– the front door had a foot high drift. Also the distance to the building and just a little beyond was a as far as you could see. If you didn’t have lights on it was even trickier. We had a snowsquall on December 15– what the heck is a snowsquall you ask?ContinueContinue reading “Snow Squall… WTF?”
Snow Days and Sled Fails
Well…I jinxed myself. I shouldn’t have made a crack about the cold on Monday. Leaving work on Friday… Now, I have snow. It’s up to my shins and if there’s a drift my corgi, Freya, becomes submerged. https://videopress.com/v/Zg26oCyi?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata Snow dogs! I don’t dislike snow. I actually really love it and it makes me happy. UntilContinueContinue reading “Snow Days and Sled Fails”
Wannabe on the Trail: Side Hustles & Small Business
Hey all! I don’t know if it’s the millennial mindset or just the ADHD talking but I keep trying to find new ways to make my hobbies pay for themselves. I like hiking and thought taking photos and writing about it would be fun. Probably not a high paying niche but fun. Once I startedContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Side Hustles & Small Business”
Wannabe on the Trail: Winter’s Here
Poor Bison… from earlier this year. Well, at least it’s not snowing…yet. Woke up to a -3 day. Not my favorite thing. But I need to get over it. I don’t want fall into the same patterns I do every winter were I binge watch stuff, or read, under a blanket and not go outside.ContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Winter’s Here”
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”
Return to Girl, Take a Hike
I really want to go hike on a beach somewhere. It’s been an insane week already. It’s also starting to get cold. I don’t like it. Well, I do but it’s a weird toxic love hate relationship with cold weather. The snow makes it so pretty. Luckily, we only had a little light dusting ofContinueContinue reading “Return to Girl, Take a Hike”
