For a long time, when I thought about adventures, I pictured big trips — long drives, new places, a lot of miles. But lately, adventures have started looking a little different. Sometimes they are just a Jeep ride away. Sometimes they are a quick weekend trip with no real plan other than exploring somewhere new….
This year’s garden is already looking a little different. Last year, I was growing herbs and a few veggies in containers on my deck. It was something I enjoyed, but it was still very much a city garden. This year feels different — this year, my garden is out at Chris’s place. There are actual…
The last few months have been a little different than I expected. I think things are starting to slow down a little. If you would have asked me in January, I never would have guessed how much my daily routine was about to change. The past few months have involved bottle feedings, diapers, baby goats…

The world got smaller. The things I normally filled my time with aren’t happening anymore, and I am finding myself learning how to slow down,…

When I planned this trip, I knew there would be two half marathons. What I didn’t know was how many other memories would end up filling the space between those finish lines. And I definitely didn’t know I would be making them all with a tiny puppy riding along beside me. Jekyll Island Race morning….
I wasn’t looking for a puppy. Really. I wasn’t. I had spent the last few years learning how to build a life I loved. I was running races, traveling in my RV, exploring new places, and saying yes to experiences I once only dreamed about. When I lost Babe a few months ago, I wasn’t…
