Some days I feel like Super Woman, others I barely feel human. On some days all I need is a big tree and moving water to overcome the hard days.

Right before we moved into the camper, after selling almost everything we owned, I hopped off social media.

We were in the car for 8 hours. By the end, the kids and the parents were ready to be on solid ground. We found the right drive way, pulled in, and realized we were at the wrong driveway.
