Look, I travel a lot. Like, a LOT lot. And after years of trial and error (and some spectacularly bad packing decisions), I’ve got my travel game semi-down. Some of my most recent travels had me scratching my head at other travelers, so I turned to the women who know best: my friends. These women […]
“What on earth are you watching?” I ask Josh as I crawl onto the bed in our motorhome (in our driveway) and lie down next to Frank*, the office dog (picture below). *We brought Frank to our house for the weekend so he could run around the yard and sleep in a real bed. Josh […]
The holidays, am I right? What a shitshow. I like to give so much I have nothing left, then I’m resentful and bitter. Good times. I should point out it isn’t just the holidays.

I had every intention of continuing this series, but several things have happened since I started it, which I will share at the end. The conclusion is a bit longer, stick around til the end. As I drove my shit-filled truck back to our cabin, I reflected on how I got here. I’m sure a […]
For those late to the party (where the heck have you been) here is part 1. With the pee still drying on my leg, Parker and I made our way to the Lowe’s in Big Rapids to pick up flowers, which I killed within the week, and any supplies needed to break a dog out […]
While our country was reverting back to the 1950s before women were considered equal to their male counterparts…I was on a road trip with 8 dogs and a very patient husband. In an effort to give you a smile, I bring you the shitshow that is my life (and 100% my fault). This is the […]
