December 11, 2018

Hey friends!

You know what stinks? The fact that Christmas Season and cold/flu season overlap. I don’t want to be sick for Christmas. I don’t want my kids to be sick for Christmas. I don’t want you to be sick for Christmas. So, I’m sharing a few tips with you on how to keep your kids healthy through the holidays. Some of these are just reminders for common sense, but others you probably haven’t thought of before. Hope this helps!

Christmas & Freedom

January 12, 2019December 7, 2018

It’s the first week of December and the holiday feels are in full swing! Christmas time is a season of giving and joy, a season of hustle and bustle, a season of tradition, and a season to celebrate our savior. The usual sentimental topics have been on my mind, but something different is pushing it’s presence now. Freedom. The word usually has an Independence day connotation to it, but with every Christmas festivity so far this year, the blessing of freedom has stood out to me more than ever.

Hi, I’m Madi, and I’m glad you’re here!

I grew up in Salt Lake City and fell in love with the mountains! After college, I filled my free time with hiking, camping, and exploring Utah! When I became a mom, I loved taking my baby on outdoor adventures with me!

Soon after becoming a mom, we moved to Dallas, Texas, where there are no mountains! While living in Dallas we welcomed two more children into our family! I’m now a mom of three boys. After six years of living in Dallas, we are back in Utah!

Living in Dallas taught me to embrace the city life! I’ve learned that there is so much fun and adventure to be found everywhere, whether you’re in the mountains, the city, or somewhere in between!

I’m all about family adventures, big and small, and I share the details of our adventures here on this blog in hopes to inspire and prepare you for adventures as well!
