My anger at not being able to find packing peanuts at the fucking post office stiffened my limbs and overtook the space in my head that previously held excitement about our upcoming road trip. I have no excuses for why I waited to go to the post office until the day we were leaving. But I

If we weren’t moving to NYC and if we weren’t going on a month-long road trip across the country, I would be returning to work as a teacher today. I have mixed feelings. I picture my desk, in MY classroom, with a new teacher sitting there trying to figure out the best way to teach

It’s not like we haven’t been camping before. Just a month ago, we spent 5 nights camping – definitely our longest adventure (read about our week without a house here). But this trip was different.

We’re still struggling to remain optimistic about our upcoming move across the country (with no jobs in sight, thus far), but yesterday we caught a ray of light in the rain. Not only did we go hiking in drizzly, monsoon-taunting weather, but we also made a big – hopefully positive – decision to extend our BIG MOVE

I don’t talk about it often, but I have been in pain (of varying types) for over 5 years. 5 fucking years. It makes me incredibly angry sometimes and probably hard to be around, as I’m sure my husband could attest to. I try not to let it affect my life in too negative of

In light of this week’s horrendous attack in Orlando, I’ve decided to only recommend one new podcast for you instead of doing a full podcast roundup. I honestly didn’t want to post anything, but knew I should at least say something. There are many things to say, of course. We could talk about the horror

Several weeks ago, I shared about our freaky experience at Jones Water campground, after which, we swore off free campgrounds. Until now, of course. If you’ve been reading my blog, you know that I am moving to NYC to attend Columbia University for grad school. And the process is turning out to be super difficult
