POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

👋 Hey friends, it’s January which means it’s time for our annual “Hi, we’re still here and only slightly unhinged” reintroduction.

We’re Elle and Ashley, two moms, three kids, five suitcases, and a travel style that lives somewhere between “deeply prepared” and “did we really just do that.” 🚗✈️ Snacks are our love language and also our survival strategy.

Smiley is our fearless rollercoaster rider and resident helper who will buckle everyone’s seatbelt before we even ask. Scoop is our high‑energy, athletic adventurer who sprints, climbs, and turns every open space into a competitive sport. Stinky is our deep‑thinking nature kid who will absolutely stop a hike to discuss the life goals of a frog.

We share family‑friendly travel tips, destination guides, and the real moments in between — the wins, the wipeouts, the “everyone get in the car, we’re committed now” energy. You’ll find us wandering national parks, road‑tripping everywhere from the coasts to the wide‑open stretches of North Dakota and Montana, or snorkeling Caribbean waters so clear you can see the kids plotting mischief underwater.

Thanks for adventuring with us, chaos and all. 💛
📍Tell us where you’re following from so we can say hi!

This season, I decided to yell random things at my kids from the sidelines during their sporting activities. This week, I stuck to a theme. Do you know who said all of these lines?

Fun fact: it is one of the boys favorite actors.

Bro, even Taylor’s moved over to her domestic travel era 😂

I’d love a European adventure right now, but we’re making coffee at home, planning road trips, and canceling ESPN. #iykyk

So, yeah, girl. Cleaveland it is.

I started this series to see how long it would take my boys to realize I just yell a bunch of nonsense from the stands while they play baseball. By reel number two, they caught on and asked to see the video clips as soon as they got off the field. 😂😂.

As you can see in one of the clips, Ashley is not amused with my nonsense.

Wanna see a full tour of the Bismarck Airport?
Lemme take you on a (house)tour. I could take you to the first, second, third floor.

Seeing the Medora Musical was one of the highlights of our summer. All 3 kids sang this song nonstop for weeks after seeing the show. 🥰

Yelling random things at my kids during baseball. I wonder how long it will take them to notice I’m just over here spouting nonsense 😂😂
