Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional and am not pretending to know what is best for women and their babies. This is just my story that I wanted to share.  Every women and child is different and no two pregnancy journeys will be the same. Every woman’s approach to her pregnancy is unique.

May 4, 2017 by Madison 3 Comments

Around the time we decided to have a baby and I stopped using birth control, we started heading up to Alaska.  We were going to be there the rest of the summer to visit all eight National Parks. Normally on our trip we just boondocked (park for free on public land) in our RV. But, in … [Read more…]

Pregnant on the Road Part 1: Why We Decided to Have a Baby

May 4, 2017 by Madison 2 Comments

When we started our 59 National Parks trip in April 2016, we had just barely graduated from college. We had been married for a little less than two years, were both 25 and stoked to start our next phase of freedom on the open road. We built this website, renovated our 1989 Toyota Odyssey, packed … [Read more…]

Acai aka Heaven in a Bowl

March 30, 2017 by Madison Leave a Comment

Hello heaven. I fell in love with Acai bowls when I was living in Hawaii – we used to get them from this little Brazilian bus every Saturday. Since then, five years have gone by and I still have always wanted to recreate some of my favorite bowls from the island. Today I finally went … [Read more…]

Rocky Mountain National Park | 52/59

March 30, 2017 by Madison 3 Comments

What started out as a pretty, sunny day in Rocky Mountain NP, quickly turned into a blizzarding snow globe situation. But, you know us, we were determined to see this park, even though we couldn’t even see the mountains whatsoever haha. So we headed out to hike around the Bear Lake area. Luckily, the road … [Read more…]

Great Sand Dunes National Park | 51/59

March 27, 2017 by Madison 5 Comments

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – who put this here?! Who knew Great Sand Dunes would just be right there and so epic. (Maybe everyone knew haha, but we were seriously impressed.) The main thing to do in this park is PLAY! Bring your sand boards, toys, and even swimsuits and … [Read more…]

Grand Canyon National Park | 48/59

February 11, 2017 by Madison 4 Comments

Here we are folks! One of the 7 Wonders of the Natural World – The Grand Canyon! The feelings you get when you see the Grand Canyon for the first time cannot be adequately expressed through words or even beautiful photos. Nothing does it justice.

Petrified Forest National Park | 47/59

February 11, 2017 by Madison 5 Comments

This park is a hidden gem. Trees turn into magical rocks here in Petrified Forest! I mean, come on! I’ll get a little science-y and explain more about that in a second. We only spent the day here because it was so cold and extremely windy, but we still felt like we were still able … [Read more…]

Carlsbad Caverns National Park | 45/59

February 11, 2017 by Madison 7 Comments

As we drove into Carlsbad Caverns National Park, we were greeted by friendly sheep munching on cacti like nobody’s business.  I don’t really understand, do they just have crazy tough tongues?  Or do they just love cactus that much they don’t care that they are getting poked?  Kind of like how Cees says he can … [Read more…]
