Well, this is awkward. Five years. Five entire years since I last hit “publish” on this little corner of the internet.

Life happened, as it tends to do. The blog got buried under “mom-ing”, moving homes, welcoming new babies , and all the things. But lately, I’ve been feeling that familiar itch—the one that makes you want to document things, share stories, and connect with people beyond the confines of social media’s bite-sized updates.

Summer is almost here, and with it comes a sense of possibility that I haven’t felt in a while. My husband is likely going to have many off days soon. So we’ve got two road trips planned: one to visit Rhode Island (our first road trip with all 3 kids) then the other to visit family in Georgia nd Tennessee. After that, we will visit my family out in California and hopefully make it out to Sequoia to finally see those giant trees!

The truth is, I missed this. I missed having a place to ramble about the random thoughts that pop up, the weird little discoveries you make while you go through life, and also those travel moments that are too much for Instagram but still want to share somewhere.

So here we are again. The design might be a little dusty, and I’m definitely rusty at this whole writing thing, but I’m excited to dust off the keyboard and see where this goes. Summer adventures await, and this time, I’m bringing you along. Hold me to it.

Stay tuned—and thanks for being here.

P.S. If you have any must-see spots in any of those places I mentioned, drop a comment. I’m always interested in local recommendations!
