Clover’s mansion
Simone and I put together a fabulous new home for Clover… Simone has been saving money to buy a bigger cage for Clover. She is currently pet-sitting: some geckos … And a dog! The cages we saw at Petco were still too small and over $100! So- we looked on Pinterest to get some DIY …
Workshop Makeover- part#1… And my first big FISH!
Summer is upon us. It’s hard to be a wild family when the temperature is in the 90’s and the sun is so intense that sunscreen barely blocks the powerful rays from my fair children’s skin. I had a little boy ask me yesterday why Eli’s face was dirty… I said, “Honey, his face just …
A wild walk in the city
Eli and his cousin needed some outside time while we were visiting at an aunt’s house… In the city… Next to highways and gas stations and firework stands. We had to walk across a vast barren parking lot – but… … Behind the parking lot was a bit of untamed wilderness…Just enough for two little …
Bringing our pets into the Wild
Eli took Hagrid, his Bearded Dragon! Simone took Clover, her Bunny. And I brought Daisy, our German Shepard It was such a cool evening 😊 The animals enjoyed relaxing at the park! We even found an owl pellet!!

I’m running… With a smile on my face!

Hot Dog… It’s Hot outside!
We went on a 30/30 hike today – 2.7 miles! In the afternoon sun! Ugh!! It was fun, though, and we saw a beautiful mini- waterfall! *who is that woman with short hair? LOL!! After the walk we went to a splash park… The kids claimed they weren’t going to get …
Our 1st Youth Fishing Experience 🎣
We woke up early this morning and headed out to some local fishing ponds! Our city was hosting a youth fishing experience. We were super lucky to have an experienced fisherman helping us out… We learned a lot, had fun, and even got a trophy! All the kids caught a fish! Simone’s …
I had an imaginary friend when I was young
Aki over at Learnify did a post today about Childhood Memories. She prompted her readers to share a childhood memory – which I did. I briefly told her about my imaginary friend to which she replied that she wanted to know more… so here’s my own childhood memory post! When I was a young girl, …
