New Adventures Soon!

I grew up where every summer my family would take our travel trailer for two weeks to a new destination and see the USA. I have dreamt of doing this with my kids. My husband and I have talked about getting one for so long but we never did. Until April 16 2022. We bit the bullet and bought a small Coleman Camper! It sleeps 6 people, but has a queen and a bunk bed which is perfect for us 4. No slide outs and basically minimal things. Has a fireplace for heat and an AC, shower, toilet, microwave, fridge, two burners and a sink. Not super fancy but perfect for our little young family. We upgraded and added some things. Our must have list for camping and trailers!

We took it out so many times the year we bought it. Various places within AZ. Some campsites, some off the grid areas. Though while having hookups is nice, there is something about just parking the trailer in the middle of no where, sitting outside among the trees with a generator going every once in a while and letting the kids run free.

We took some friends and my parents at different times when we have gone. We love hiking and exploring the areas we stay at. One of the more fun things so far is bone collecting! Just wandering around collecting bones that are chilling on the floor. We have found quite a few interesting fragments like the whole top of a skull, a lower jaw, segmented spinal columns and teeth. Definitely keeps the kids entertained when we are walking around. 

As the weekends come, we try to plan to go almost every other weekend but lately it has been a struggle with so many different things coming up lately.

DIY Baby Food

Image
I always thought about making my own baby food with Logan but it never happened. Then after Rosella was born, I decided to give it a try. We have a local farmers market and I had a week off when she started on solids.  The jars I have used are each 4oz. For less than $20.00, I picked up all this fresh fruits and veggies! A while back I purchased the Kindle version of  this book  to help direct me on my baby food making journey. Between the book and common knowledge I begun to create a bunch of different recipes. I add all the different recipes in here to the blog every so often so just look out for them or search for them. Avocado Spinach Pear Puree This recipe will make about 16 ounces of baby food - this is one of my daughters favorites! You will need:    - 2 avocados    -10-15 leaves of spinach    - 2 pears Step 1: Wash and peel the pears, Remove the core and cut into small chunks. Step 2: Rinse ...

Rosella's Pregnancy

Image
I always knew I wanted another baby. I have always wanted one boy and one girl. Eighteen months apart, a boy first. It was how I always pictured my future. So after the issues getting pregnant with Logan, I decided to try something more natural. So I took supplements that helped regulate women's hormones, which was what I needed. I know I did not go into details but it took us about 18 months to get pregnant with Logan after taking progesterone pills for 6 months. So back to this pregnancy, I decided natural supplements , with ovulation predictor kits and temping. Unlike with Logan, Rosella's pregnancy was more "planned" if you will. I was trying what I could to get pregnant without seeing my doctor. I knew exactly when my body would ovulate based on the tests and my temperature. So when I was 12 days past ovulation (DPO) , I took a pregnancy test... lets be honest I started like 8 days (which it usually takes 6-12 days to begin producing HCG if you are pregnant...
