Our Airstream got the Home Edit treatment, and our lives have been forever changed. Right around Thanksgiving this past winter, I reached out to the Home Edit team to ask if they had any availability. If you’ve been on the internet anytime in the last few months, then you know it was a big ask. And we were so excited when they fit us in!
Read MoreHarvest Hosts is an incredible tool if you’re living that full-time travel life. I talk more about it in this blog post, but basically, Harvest Hosts is a membership site that connects Airstream and RV travelers with wineries, breweries, farms, and more that will allow travelers to camp overnight in exchange for a purchase of whatever that property sells. Basically, if you’re ready to do some off-the-grid camping in your home-on-wheels, but you don’t want to be lost in the wilderness, Harvest Hosts is perfect for you! We all loved our visit to Tom’s Farm in Tennessee.
Read MoreIn the past few months we’ve been living in our Airstream, we’ve discovered a thing or two about full-time travel. When most people imagine living in an Airstream, I think they’re imagining us just driving from town to town, pulling over when we get tired, and camping underneath the stars. In reality, living the full-time travel life requires a lot more forethought and planning.
Read MoreIf you’ve been following along here for the past few months, then you know that we’ve started our full-time travel journey in our Airstream. I’m so excited to share our first destination— Hot Springs, Arkansas! I’ve lived in Arkansas my entire life, most of it in Conway, which is just 90 miles from Hot Springs. Since we’re familiar with the area and it isn’t too far from home, Hot Springs was the perfect first location. We were doing everything for the first time, from hitching our Airstream to our truck to navigating some wide left turns with a 30 foot trailer, to stocking our kitchen. It was nice to know that if anything went really wrong, we were close to familiar places and people who could help.
Read MoreWelcome to your Hot Springs National Park travel guide. In the past, when I’ve shared about our travels, I’ve always gotten so many questions about how I plan a trip. For years, this question stumped me. Planning trips comes more easily to me than almost anything. At the end of a long day, you won’t find me scrolling through Instagram, but you can surely find me researching my way to a new travel destination. I believe that what comes naturally to us is usually a huge indicator of our God-given strengths and abilities. So today, I’m sharing our travel guide to Hot Springs National Park, in the hopes that the next time you need to scratch that travel itch, it’ll be easier for you to hit the road and find adventure at Hot Springs.
Read MoreI spent months researching how to be a full-time travel family before we ever hit the road. One of the biggest questions we faced: Airstream or Fifth-wheel RV? Obviously we ended up choosing an Airstream, but not after some serious thought going into these two choices.
Read MoreThe time is finally here to invite you into our Airstream journey. We’ve been on the road for almost two months, but today is the first time we’re showing you some of the video footage we’ve been collecting since beginning this adventure.
Read MoreGilbert, Arkansas is known as one of the smallest and coldest municipalities in Arkansas. You’d think with a population of less than 30, there wouldn’t be much to do, but that’s just not true! We spent the weekend in and around Gilbert when the boys were three and Stella was five, and we had the best time!
Read MoreA few days ago, I shared our small-space Christmas tree solution, as we’re spending the 2020 holidays on the road in our Airstream. I walked through a step-by-step guide for a DIY faux garland Christmas tree that looks 3D while only taking up some little-used wall space! We didn’t want to miss out on Christmas spirit in our Airstream. Check out our adventure to creating our own little Christmas magic as a full-time travel family below!

Read MoreThe day we decided we were really going to pack up everything and full-time travel in an Airstream, I knew I had a big task ahead of me. I was used to planning trips. From weekend getaways to month-long backpacking trips across Europe, there is almost nothing that I’m better at than planning a trip. But figuring out how to plan and execute everything that came before the biggest trip yet would be a totally different beast. So here’s what we did before we hit the road.
Read MoreIn the Fall of 2018, Stella started kindergarten. With her in school everyday, we could no longer just pick up and travel whenever we wanted. So we decided to get creative. We started taking quick weekend trips with all the kids, fitting in all the best activities we could in two short weekend days. You can read more about that process here. One of our favorite trips was to Springdale, Arkansas.
