The Biggest Mother’s Day Gift

We had already planned to go to the beach for Mother’s Day weekend at the beginning of the year. It is always a toss up when planning so far in advanced, but the weather was perfect. You have got to book this park ahead because it is the only RV park on the beach in…

Nine Months of RV Trips and a Plot Twist

The Good Stuff Farm-New Waverly, TX

About a 40 minute drive north of The Woodlands, there is a beautiful little house with a huge wrap around porch where you can sit in a rocking chair and watch the flowers grow. Our fun group of friends arrived early to get the history of how The Good Stuff Farm came to be. Jana…

Music Camp and Good Friends

The girls attended music camp this past week and enjoyed every minute of it. Last year we discovered this music camp from a friend and it was such a welcoming place of normal in the midst of a weird 2020. Healthy snacks, friends and learning music are exactly what my girls needed. They were both…
