How to plan your Weekend RV/Camping Trips so that they actually happen.🙂 In our family, we want weekend RV trips to occur frequently. But this takes some planning and some intention. Weekends away do not magically appear (nor does the budget to pay for campsites, or time to pack). I have discovered there are specific…
We are all writers and readers. We live in a society with massive amounts of written communication. I like to go back to why those stories and words were made. Who wrote them and for what purpose? The non-fiction books on my bookshelf were written by people who have learned difficult lessons. They have picked…
Sharing some preview content from my book, jumping into the book proposal process & celebrating completion of my manuscript. 🎉 Who my book is for: My book is for women in their 20’s and 30’s who are experiencing burnout, frustration and overwhelm in their lives. Also, my audience includes women navigating life transitions or significant…
Rhythms are patterns we follow as a way of doing something. I think of a rhythm as a soundtrack to the morning or afternoon. If I were in a movie, what music would be playing in the background? As I get into the habit of organizing my life with rhythms and routines, I’ve come across…

I’m still on my way, still learning, and it feels like an ongoing adventure of discovery. The exciting part? I’m guessing there will always be something new for me to learn.…
What counts as a “weekend” and how can we slow down throughout our week? If you have a schedule that feels heavy and uncontrollable, I see you. Rest is something that we all desperately need. No matter how old we are or what job we have (or don’t have). No matter economic status, lack of…
Even though it is mid October, today was over 105° F / 40° C. I really want to wear my sweaters that have been waiting in the back of my closet. The Arizona desert does not change drastically in the fall. It is a slow cooling down and not much visual change. Most of the…
RV travel and family vacations are very tricky to navigate. There is a very wide mix of expectations and decisions to be made.
