We spent the month of November exploring the Gulf Coast. This involved staying in a lovely AirBnb in Mobile, Alabama, and taking day trips to the Gulf Shores, AB, Pensacola, FL, Biloxi, MS, and several trips to New Orleans, LA! This whole region provided copious amounts of fresh, delectable seafood, gorgeous Southern architecture, plentiful beaches, and a whole lot of […]
Exploring the Gulf Coast
Back to Where It All Began
After the insane whirlwind of our time in Philadelphia/New York (our story about NYC is here), we went back to where it all began for us. We spent a month back in Gainesville, FL. This post will definitely be substantially shorter than the previous two. We had some laughs, learned more about how to enjoy the simple things in life, […]
A Philly Cheesesteak and The Big Apple
Between a Philly cheesesteak and The Big Apple, we had ourselves another whirlwind month, folks. We spent the latter half of August and the first half of September spending the weekdays in Philadelphia and our weekends in New York City. There’s a chance it was even more exhausting than that sounds. However, of course, it was also yet another nomadic […]
The Best of Arizona and Southern Nevada
What an absolute whirlwind. After our trek from Florida to Arizona, (read about that here), we spent the last week of May and majority of June exploring and enjoying the best of Arizona and southern Nevada. More specifically, the northern half of Arizona and the Las Vegas/Hoover Dam areas. As I mentioned previously, I had never been farther west than […]
Bucket List Adventures in Tennessee
After our month of family fun in February, we chose to spend the month of March in Cookeville, Tennessee. We saw from the map that it was centrally located to several major cities, and we were excited for many bucket list adventures in Tennessee! One (relatively) short day trip drive later, and we settled into our new AirBnb. It provided […]
Love Language: Quality Time
Several months ago, I got stuck on a conversational kick of discussing love languages with friends and family. For those unfamiliar with the 5 Love Languages, here’s the official quiz to learn about yours. The five languages are: physical touch, quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service, and gift giving. I learned during that time that my dad’s primary […]
We Finally Went Somewhere New!
We started 2023 by finally breaking out of our loop, and we went somewhere new. For the past 6.5 years of our marriage, Frank and I have cycled between Florida, northwest Ohio, and Chicago, over and over again. To be more specific: Toledo, OH -> Naples, FL -> Chicago, IL -> Jacksonville, FL -> Naples, FL -> Sylvania, OH -> […]
Recap of Month #1 of Nomad Life
I know many thought this day would never come. Heck, sometimes I thought this day would never come. Yet, here we are, in an as-yet undisclosed location, making our way through Month #2. We did it! Our little family finally lives and works as digital nomads. Before we get into the details of our first month, first, a brief summary […]
It’s Been A While…
(If you’re like Frank, you’ll sing that out loud to the tune of the song by Staind. If that doesn’t happen, I envy you.) As per my last post, so very much has changed, all over again. We do have an Instagram page, linked here, so if you already follow that or keep in touch with us, these changes will […]
How Quickly Things Can Change
So…after so much consistency, I essentially disappeared for several months. My apologies, folks. Here’s what happened: Our little family visited the Detroit Institute of Arts back in July. We saw an abundance of incredible artwork by a myriad of talented artists across multiple centuries. I fully intend(ed) to write a well-researched, thorough, beautiful post about our stop at the DIA.
