Weekly Update | August 26, 2024

Farewell, August…Hello, September! This is our last week of summer break around here and we’re soaking it up…sailing the Atlantic! This was a bit of a risky decision weather-wise on my part, but I’m hoping it will all work out 🤞I will be sharing more about the trip later this week and after we return. And while I’m technically on vacation, I will be checking in with t...

What's In My Car | 2024

What's In My Car | 2024

I find it kind of hard to believe I’ve never filmed one of these before. At least, I’m pretty sure I haven’t but after 14+ years and over a thousand videos…I honestly don’t know. I couldn’t find one in a basic search and this has definitely been requested, so…here it is! A very VERY real “what’s in my car” - and definitely not an organization video 😉 I’d l...

EARLY ACCESS -  Tahoe | 2024

I packed in a nice amount of miles for a simulation training weekend at beautiful Lake Tahoe, California, in preparation for a trail event I am participating in this fall. It was so fun to see different parts of the area between the western and northwestern coasts of that gorgeous lake. I enjoyed splitting my time between camping and a comfy airbnb. I can’t wait to return! I hope you enjoy ex...

Happy Monday, Wonderers! How are you doing? I am reunited with my kiddos so I am the happiest mama. We're squeezing all we can out of the last couple of weeks of their summer break. Seems like a lot of other kids are back in school already (boo). How does summer fly by so fast?! ☀️

Hello, hello! 👋 How are you? I hope you had a nice weekend. I survived my 2024 Everesting challenge somehow, so we’re calling that “nice” 🙃 Seriously, though, it was epic and I hope I filmed enough to piece together a cohesive vlog about it. I really appreciate the comments and messages I received from you here. They made me feel like I had my crew with me every step of the way! Tha...

Come spend the day with me in Park City, Utah as I get ready for my upcoming mountain challenge this weekend. Breakfast at my favorite local spot, packing prep, quick errands run, and a chat about body image stuff - just an ordinary day in an unordinary spot 😉

If you're ever in Park City, Five Seeds is worth a stop for breakfast IMHO 2024-08-09 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post

Wow, the Sonoma coast is gorgeous! I loved exploring trails both on and off the coastline for a fun mix of redwood forests, bluffs, and sand. Plus, I stayed at the most spectacular treehouse! I hope you enjoy coming along for the adventure 🌊

Happy August, my friends! I hope the start of the month is treating you well and that you had a nice weekend. I spent mine traveling and am now, as you can see from the video, off on my next adventure at a bit of an intentionally slower pace before attempting to summit 29,029 feet of elevation next weekend. Fun times 🤪

Hello, hello! I'm so excited to start planning our first local Chicagoland meetup.

Good morning, Wonderers! Summer sure is speeding by. I can’t believe we’re heading into August this week 😅 I’m going to be away much more than I'm home in August, half solo and half with my kiddos. With that in mind, I’m happy I chose to stay home this past weekend instead of traveling. I actually made really good progress on my garage project and packed in a lot of training miles be...

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin + DMB @ Alpine | 2024

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin + DMB @ Alpine | 2024

I spent a long weekend enjoying beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin - a trip I planned around a 2-night Dave Matthews Band concert series at Alpine Valley Music Theatre. It turned out to be more of an adventure than I had anticipated with some pretty strong storms, but I had the great fortune of enjoying the beautiful lake and stayed in the coziest B&B. I would repeat this trip in a heartbeat!...

Cheers to a new week, Wonderers! Whew, last week was pretty intense. There’s much happening all around these days, it can feel like a whirlwind just trying to keep up! Fortunately, summer time at home has been sweet with my littles. We enjoyed seeing extended family over the weekend and hanging out just the three of us as well - a nice balance. I hope you had a good weekend, too! ☀️

I was so excited to be able to shop at my current most favorite home store in person and not just online. It really is a beautiful store and I found some great things. Here’s to home progress!

Thanks to all who commented on the original post. Sounds like there is some interest in a meal option both inside the parks and at Downtown Disney. So why not both? You could come to both or just one or none. Here's what I'm thinking in terms of making specific plans since dining reservations open shortly:
