adventure, family, and life on the road.
Welcome to the heart of Roots in the Wild — where I share the stories, adventures, and lessons we collect along the way.
You’ll find everything from family travel and RV life to outdoor adventures, practical resources, motherhood on the move, and the unexpected detours that make the best stories.
Some posts will help you plan your own adventure. Others are simply stories worth telling.
Either way, I’m glad you’re here.

How Road Life Chose Us
This is the story of how road life chose us — from a little blue van and $50 winters, to motherhood, purpose, and finding our way back to a dream I once held as a little girl. A look at who I am, why I write, and the roots we’ve grown along the way.
