Postcard Series: Happy Holidays from the Lampmans
Greetings from the redwoods! We are celebrating the holidays amongst the wise old trees of northern California, and we are beyond grateful to be here. Our month-long road trip has been a full body refreshment. We have spent many evenings reflecting on our gratitude, days amongst the tall trees, mornings with the smell of the…

One month in: Lessons learned & Adventure baby prep
We survived the first month, holy moly. The sleepless nights of staring at Basil to ensure his chest rising and falling; the frantic every 2 hour feeding to get him to gain weight; the confusion on what a “normal” baby poop should look like; the struggle to get all the legal stuff handled while running…

Summer D[aze]
Here we go, entering the 3rd Trimester of my pregnancy! As of today, I’m 31 weeks- Holy cow that went by fast!

Desert Trip 24/25
We had two weeks with minimal meetings, no babysitting, and dreary skies forecasted- so we planned a trip down to the desert! We splurged and bought StarLink, which has worked great with our solar panel setup (borrowed from my Tiny Home build) and allows us to work remotely in the early AM & evenings. We…

It’s such a magical place, with the alpine lakes, wildflowers, ice capped mountains, cool rocks, & enchanted flora. The…

Summer’24: A quick trip to the Great White North
As many of you know, I typically pop up north across the border every year or so to soak in the turquoise lakes, the beyond-fun rock climbing, and the smell of Tim Hortons in the morning. Oh, Canada- what a gem. Every trip has “that thing that happened” … right? The flat tire, the wrong…

As the Seasons Change: Life Lately
Fall is a season of reminiscing, squeezing in chilly camping trips, & eagerly awaiting the fall of snow. I’m guilty of saying “wow, that summer went by way too fast” every single year. Just as I am guilty of planning trip after trip, packing it all in, as I anticipate summer each spring. Ever since…
