Items We Still Buy at Costco & Our Costco Connection Magazine Cover

People seem surprised that we have kept our Costco membership even while living in such a tiny space. Either we are crazy, or there is more to Costco items than large, bulk purchases. I prefer the latter explanation. Truth is, we are probably addicted to some of the items they carry, and even though the…

    Hi Jess. Love your blog!
    I was at target yesterday and saw nick and Nora Jammie’s for women with air streams and pink flamingos on them. Thought of you. Check them out.

    Your shopping list looks A LOT like ours! With the exception of diapers of course…(we have a two month old and Costco diapers are a great deal. Encouraging to read how much you can still fit in the airstream! I So agree about the Coastal cheddar! I’ve been known to make a trip for ONLY that cheese when we’ve run out. LOL This helped a lot! Thank you! xxReplyCancel

  • […] We spent 5 days at the KOA and accomplished A LOT of logistics while we were there, including a stop at Costco where we were able to get our hands on a Costco magazine with our faces on the cover! […]ReplyCancel

What Does Spring Break Look Like for Full Time Travelers?

When you travel full time, “spring break” or “vacation” can be a bit of an anomaly. Many people might think we are constantly on vacation since we see many National Parks, museums, and state parks – destinations that most people vacation to. For us, though, its just life. We still do school, work, shopping, errands,…

Road School Curriculum 2014

With the “start” of another school year I thought I’d update the far reaches of the universe with our current road school curriculum. After a harrowing,  first ever experience putting together a curriculum on my own last year I feel that this year has been pretty low key. We’ve moved ahead in most of their…

  • I love looking at other people’s curriculum 🙂 Where do you get your test that you used? Our math does a lot of tests but my husband wants the boys to be able to do standard tests so they do not freak out if they go to collage. I have a lot of trouble finding out where to get them though!ReplyCancel

  • Okay, and also thanks for Story Starters! I just checked it out and it looks great!ReplyCancel

    You are very organized! I have not found it easy to be organized with our road schooling. We have not purchased a curriculum though each girl has a grade appropriate multi-subject workbook. We end up doing a lot of online learning games mixed with library time, and of course field trips! I need to probably add a bit more structure though.ReplyCancel

A Day In the Life: City Edition

One thing I love about being on the road and having our location constantly change, is that there is no “typical” day. There are a lot of similar things we do everyday, but no two days have been exactly alike so far. I love it. Our days vary quite a bit too if we are…

  • It always amuses me how much I like seeing what peoples days look like 🙂 The zoo always wipes me out. The boys get a second wind in the vehicle and I just want to curl in a ball and sleep!ReplyCancel

  • I love this post! It’s so fun to see how other people live. I can totally relate to the part about the refrigerator puzzle. I pride myself in how much I can fit into that tiny space.ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      I am constantly amazed at how much we can fit. People wonder if I have to go grocery shopping every other day, but I really feel like I don’t have to shop more often than at home. Maybe we just eat simpler?ReplyCancel

  • Mica Hale Hauley

    Awesome. Love the details and the photos. Looks so do-able! 🙂 ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Totally do-able, and even a little normal, right?ReplyCancel

  • […] It turned out to be quite popular so I thought I’d share over here. We’ve also posted a Day in the Life: City Edition if you want another peek at what full time travel is […]ReplyCancel
