I decided to try something new I made my first video gear review! Fun, right? Check out the Osprey Poco AG Premium Child Carrier:
How to Build a Colorado Chicken Coop
When we set out to take up chicken keeping, we knew that our mountain environment would require some extra work to be successful. A lot of folks have asked me about our setup, so I thought I’d share what we did to predator-proof and make our chickens comfortable in their high-altitude environment! We have virtually every predator in Colorado in our backyard. We’ve seen black bears, coyotes, foxes and even mountain lion tracks. We also have a pair of nesting…
Microadventures
Holy shit… I'm a mom. … I never thought I would ever say those words. Since becoming a mom, I've been adapting to a new "normal." I've been surprised at how simple this has felt in some ways, as I've gotten used to my daily routine.

I’m not trying to be an asshole, I just don’t like babies and toddlers stress me out. Yet here…
Home
What makes a place feel like home? I’ve been watching Tiny House on HGTV and reading blogs about living in your bus, or a van and I often ponder this question. These folks that travel so much and wander for a living… What does “home” mean anyways?
