Our son was 14 months and we hadn’t camped yet. Our intention was to go sooner but with constant monsoon rains and threats of landslides, there is no way we could have pulled it off before we did. We wanted to ease into it so we decided to camp on our balcony one Friday evening at the beginning of October.

Family Village Trip: our 9-month-old, a hike, and a hospitable didi
I didn’t think we would take a village trip for a while since Eli was only 9 months old but it just happened. One day my husband proposed the idea and the next morning we were off–packed with diapers, a hiking backpack full of our most minimal items for an outdoor adventure, a baby carrier backpack, and some car snacks.

Our 2nd Anniversary Camping Trip: Goats, Caves, & Monsoon Rains
We were craving some time outdoors and just a cheap break away from normal life, technology, and the busyness of daily life. Even though it was monsoon season, we decided to take a risk, pack our rain gear and go for it. Although we thought about it a little bit ahead of time, it still seemed lasted minute so I just grabbed some food we had in the pantry and quickly ran by the store.
Sabbath, A Milk Man, & A Day Hike in the Snow
It’s easy to neglect rest. Maybe we think everything can’t really get done in only six days. It seems that thought, though, is actually distrust in the way we were created to function…
Sometimes Sabbath means getting out of the house and into nature. Into the great outdoors where we can just Be Still & Know who the Creator is by being in his creation.
1,000 dollars & 8,000 miles for the 1st Date: How I Met My Husband
I was at a place of such contentment in my singleness that I felt pretty neutral about a guy who was living on another continent having my number.
