We seriously own 90% of this gear, and the other 10% we would own if we could fit it in our Airstream (ahem! Vacilando quilt!). This post contains Amazon & REI affiliate links which help to fund the blog in a small, small way. Thanks for helping us out by clicking through to shop! Now that Thanksgiving…
What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving and the spirit of giving than to talk about how grateful we are for our families? I’m incredible grateful for all the time I am able to spend with my family. We eat together, sleep together (pretty easy when you live in 188 square feet of space!) and play…
We recently stumbled across a new board game at the Sleeping Bear Dunes Visitor Center in Michigan. I always make it a point to browse the gift shop as we’ve found some great books, games, and other educational items, so this time I was just doing the rounds. I spotted Trekking the National Parks board game and had…
Travel Dates: October 14 – Nov 3, 2015 We dropped the Airstream off at the factory in Jackson Center, OH for repairs while we flew to Utah to visit family. Everything went off without a hitch – we stayed a night in the terraport, talked with the technician early Wednesday morning and then packed and…
[…] After a great weekend, it was back to reality. We had a quick lunch stop at the River Raisin National Battlefield, and then we drove down to Jackson Center, Ohio and the Airstream Factory. We were leaving our Airstream there to get the rear panel replaced while we flew to Utah for 2 weeks to visit family! […]ReplyCancel
“Just get out the door. Just get out the door,” I chant to myself as things start to look bleak for our afternoon adventure. In a perfect world, our kids jump up, excited to get out the door and explore. The reality, however, usually consists of a whole lot of whining. “I don’t want to…
Wow! You said it spot on! Although we’ve never traveled full-time, the way you described it is exactly what life is like in suburbia with kids. Even with a healthy and active lifestyle, sometimes you just get so wrapped up in feeling the need to get things done because in reality there is always so much to get done (the unfortunate, sad part of having too much stuff).ReplyCancel
Such an honest and good post, Jess. And I completely understand what you’re saying here. We struggle with the same things, and I find it hard to keep up with all the household stuff, let alone getting out and exploring. The few short trips we’ve taken with the Casita has shown me the alternative, and I crave that. It may be “cheating” like you said, but it’s so totally worth it!
Hope your return to Chicago and getting back on the road goes smoothly!
peak design look like some great clips and love one to take my DSLR on trips. Will look into it more
I’d use the backpack for short day hikes and would love to hang the map in my son’s room!
Love to use the camera clip for hikes, the notebook for my daughter and the super cute tote for myself! What a great list…lots of good gift ideas.
My son would love tracking our adventures with the U.S. Map–such a neat design!
My family loves being outdoors and we are always looking for new games and gear to make our adventures better! I also love infusing the outdoors in other things. I would love the beautiful map for our girls to see and learn!
We spend a lot of time in the desert and quick dry zip off pants would come in handy. In and out of stream crossings, cold Mornings, hot afternoons.
I would love to win the tote from Vacilando Quilting Co.! I love Laura and what she is doing and would use her tote as my everyday bag!
We would use the pack for miniadventures around town! Every day!

Love to win the bag!
You can never have enough good bags. The mamoo bag is so cute for kids and the Vacilando bag looks great for everyday use.
This map would be a great gift for my niece. She is three years old and we have gotten to travel with her to several new states this past year.
We would use the map for my son to learn the states .
I would use the notebook to write my thoughts and maybe some drawings too!
The kids backpack will be great for my daughter to use when we travel. The pro camera clip to use with my camera.
I want the pro camera clip!!!! Pick me! 🙂

I’d love to use the tote bag for errands, travel, etc. We have an Airstream that we hope to take to the road with in the next few years.
Love the Vacilando bag and quilt! As a fibers major in college I’m so inspired!
My daughter would love to use the backpack for trips around town or when we go on our little hikes.
I would use the notebook to keep a trip journal or bucketlist (it is seriously long enough to fill the pages)!
The tote would be used for overnight ski trips! Bags are easier to stuff in the car than suitcases!
So in love with the subway tote!! I would use it at a diaper bag/wine carrier.
