About one week ago, we moved to Petaluma. We were sad to leave friends and a wonderfully sweet RV park. Though, we are thrilled to be closer to the coast and lucked out with another great park. There’s also a beautiful pool we have yet to hit. The girls are so excited to be able… Continue reading Hello from Petaluma
Oroville and Back to School
About one month ago we hit the road to Oroville. A place we’ve been before. This time we opted for the RV park George stayed at during line school rather than the casino we stayed at about 3 years ago. We’re loving all the space to play. There are quite a few other line families… Continue reading Oroville and Back to School
Maeve is 3!!!
Maeve turned 3 on Monday. How is time going so fast? She’s been my little barnacle since day one and gradually over the past few weeks she’s getting more and more independent. We kicked off the celebrations on her birthday eve as that was George’s day off. He makes a point to request the girls’… Continue reading Maeve is 3!!!
Summer
Summer for Ellie kicked off on June 6th. It was bittersweet as we LOVED Ellie’s teachers through California Virtual Academy. We will really miss having their kind presence, albeit virtually, on weekday mornings. We started the celebrations with a stop at Hardester’s for doughnuts and balloons…some of Ellie’s favorites. Followed by the online end of… Continue reading Summer
Eating Well in a Food Desert
While not exactly a food desert, food shopping while staying in Middletown has been a bit challenging. There’s a nice grocery store/hardware store – Hardesters – within 10 minutes. And a few more minutes down the road, there’s a Grocery Outlet. Hardesters has a decent variety of fresh organic fruits and vegetables. It also carries… Continue reading Eating Well in a Food Desert
Calistoga
A few weeks back, George and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. We headed down the road to a cute and quaint little town that George has scouted out through work – Calistoga. We started the day at Old Faithful Geyser of California. We happened to arrive just minutes before one of its numerous daily… Continue reading Calistoga
Slowing Down in a Small Town
Since our last check in, life took us to Lancaster for ~4 weeks, back to Loomis for 1 week and now here we are in Middletown, CA. Population <2,000, it’s smaller than the town I grew up in in Maine. It’s definitely been an adjustment. Very eye opening, too. We have been primarily bouncing around… Continue reading Slowing Down in a Small Town
Hello Again
We made a short move from Folsom to Loomis at the start of summer 2024. This situates us a wee bit closer to the various yard locations George has been working from. We’re also in the same park as the family we’ve enjoyed traveling with throughout the past several years which has been really nice.… Continue reading Hello Again
A Quick Trip to Monterey
A few weeks ago, we enjoyed a long weekend in Monterey. George and I both love the vibe there and of course the beach and amazing coastal views. George had taken us on a detour there after Christmas 2021 when were unable to get back to our camper in Pollock Pines due the road closures… Continue reading A Quick Trip to Monterey
A Little (or A Lot) More About Maeve’s Birth
Before I move on, it feels only natural to write a little bit more about pregnancy with Maeve and her birth. Overall, pregnancy with Maeve was pretty smooth. I had minor anemia, which responded well to a liquid iron supplement in addition to my prenatal. All day nausea stuck around for the first 12ish weeks… Continue reading A Little (or A Lot) More About Maeve’s Birth
