The North Maine Woods – Days 6, 7, & 8

The North Maine Woods – Days 1 & 2

As most of you know, Jake and I like to go on adventures and this year was no exception. After purchasing our Colorado and rooftop tent we wanted to do something that not many people have done before. We decided to head to The North Maine Woods and do a bit of off-roading to get

Off-Roading Flagpole Knob, Virginia

Since purchasing our 2017 Chevy Colorado Duramax Z71 CCSB, we have been taking her off road on a few adventures.

Daily Cleaning Tips & Tricks

As many of my friends and family (but mainly Jake, the boyfriend) know, I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which is no fun for anyone that is in my life, especially if they live with me (sorry Jake, Frank, and sometimes Reagan). I use to be on medication for my ADHD which in turn helped

My Life is One Big Migraine

And I mean that literally. Since I was about eight years old I have had migraines. The older I got the worst they got. At one point I think I was getting them two or three times per week. And what’s worse is I never know when one is coming, unless I get an aura
