More places to visit. More time outside soaking up nature. More memories with the people I love. 🌿❀️

to 4 years ago when we visited the Notre Dame campus and got to see Touchdown Jesus in person. 😁

It was a beautiful campus but... it will always be ALL ABOUT THE U for me! πŸ§‘βœ‹οΈπŸ€šπŸ’š

I published a new essay this morning about something RV life completely changed for me: my definition of home.

It starts with William learning to ride his bike in a Tennessee campground almost 5 years ago and somehow winds its way through Virginia, Florida, Texas, and all the little things that make a place feel like ours.

to one of my favorite Christmas Eves ever!

We spent the day at EPCOT with our peoples, laughed a lot, ate well, and celebrated Christmas Eve Florida-style in warm weather.

It was a special day! Good friends, Christmas magic, sunshine, and a whole lot of fun. πŸŽ„πŸŒžπŸ’Ÿ

We had one of those classic Florida downpours recently where everything went from bone dry to what I lovingly call our "ditch river" in about 5 minutes. πŸ˜‚

Watching the ground soak up all that water got me thinking about the things that replenish us, and how sometimes we don't even realize how depleted we are until we finally get a little relief.

That's what I wrote about in today's new post 🌿: https://fastlifeintheslowlane.substack.com/p/noticing-the-things-that-replenish
