Happy #vanniversary Bruce!
It’s fun to look back at the past year and remember all of the awesome #adVANtures we’ve had thanks to this rig. Without Bruce we probably never could have managed a 3,000+ mile road trip to Yellowstone, Teton, Glacier, Banff, and Jasper last summer with a toddler and at the end wish we had more time on the road. We loved exploring northern California’s redwoods, and seeing two elk locking antlers right outside the van doors definitely makes our list of life’s most memorable moments! 🦌 But what has probably been the most important memories this past year have been recently. We are so grateful to have a space to safely enjoy fresh air and “dinner out” in the van in our local area.
Two years young! Cheers Brucey!!!! 🚐 🎉
Enjoying some fresh sea breezes ☀️ 🏖and savoring the last weeks before becoming a family of 4. California is slowly reopening, but we are still being very cautious about social distancing so we haven’t adventured much lately. We also know that Mar is in a more sensitive stage where she has a harder time sleeping at the drop of a hat, even on daytime outings. We’ve come to enjoy local cookouts in the van, and finding fun places to explore close to home. Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

Time flies! We can’t believe our van Bruce 🚐 is turning 2 in a few days! We’ve had some great adventures thanks to this van, and we love how he has so many “modes” to make traveling easier.
As Mar grows we are spending more time with our table installed - it adds structure to eating routines and she likes to sit with us at meals. To learn more about our family-friendly van build ideas, check out our blog post “10 TIPS TO MAKE YOUR VAN BUILD KID-FRIENDLY.” Link in bio.
My kind of #bathtime 🐥 🛁

We wish all of the mothers out there - birth mothers, grandmas, step-mothers, adopted mothers, and godmothers - a very HAPPY and BLESSED MOTHER’S DAY! You make us better children, husbands, wives, parents, and people. Today we pray you feel loved and appreciated, because you deserve it! We only mark one “Mother’s Day”on the calendar, but we all know you deserve thanks and our gratitude 365 days a year.
Happy Friday!! This girl is ringin’ in the weekend like...👧🏼✌🏽🧸
Oh baby!! 🤰🏼As the bump grows we are getting more and more excited about #2! We are looking forward to chasing two littles all around and throughout the van 🤪, and Mar is looking forward to having a seat buddy for the long drives. We’d be lying if we didn’t admit we are also nervous about traveling with two small kids. We have no idea how we will handle an infant’s frequent wake ups with a toddler’s sleep regressions, or how we will manage all of the dirty diapers, fatigue, hiking with two kiddos, and if we will still be able to manage the challenge of frequent adventures as a family of four. But heck, there is no turning back now! 🤣🤣🤣
It’s not what we have in life, but WHO we have in our life that matters. – J.M. Laurence
The past several weeks have shown us it’s easy to trip into the pit of feeling over stressed and frustrated at the circumstances of quarantine- and ungrateful for this extra family time. To combat this we 1) schedule SOMETHING fun as a family each day, either a scooter ride near the house, dinner in the van, or a short walk. 2) Pray daily for those who are suffering through this pandemic.
We hope you are all hanging in there and finding ways to stay grateful and positive!
