🐜🦟🐛 Ants and mosquitoes and bugs, OH MY! 😂

Last night at 2:30 AM, I woke up to a whole army of mosquitoes in our Airstream. I spent the next HOUR hunting them down and protecting the kids from getting eaten alive. 😅 I’m pretty sure they were sneaking in through a tiny hole in our bathroom window screen, so I closed the window, and thankfully, the rest of the night was much more peaceful!

But seriously… if you have a MOSQUITO HACK THAT ACTUALLY WORKS, please tell me! 🙏 Not just a citronella candle. 😂 I’m talking tried-and-true ways to keep mosquitoes OUT of our Airstream. We need to figure this out, especially because there will be places on our journey where mosquitoes are more than just annoying little pests.

And this is the part of full-time travel that I want to be honest about. ❤️

There are annoying things. There are uncomfortable things. There are going to be some downright yucky things. 😂 Sometimes I worry that if I share all of those moments, people will think our trip is miserable or that we’re constantly dealing with problems. But that’s not the reality!

Because for every frustrating moment, there are SO many beautiful ones.

We’ve had incredible experiences, learned things we never would have learned otherwise, met amazing people, and seen animals we might never have had the chance to see. We’ve been pushed outside our comfort zones, grown as a family, and made memories that we’ll carry with us for the rest of our lives.

And we’re only 64 days into this adventure! 🤯

I’m sharing the messy moments, the hard moments, the hilarious moments, and the beautiful moments because this is real life. And even with the mosquitoes, the inconveniences, and all the little things we have to figure out along the way…

IT IS SO WORTH IT. ❤️🚐

I cannot wait to see what the next year brings our family as we continue our full-time Airstream journey around the world!

Now, PLEASE share your best mosquito-repelling hacks below. 😂👇 We clearly need them!

What does homeschooling look like on the road as we travel around the world as a family of 6? Well right now, it looks like this!

Since we currently have a kindergartener and a preschooler, a lot of the learning is done through playing! We are adding more sit down ‘homework’ for Edison to get that routine in, which invites his younger sisters to join, but our school is everywhere!
We are learning letters as we walk around town, we are learning street signs and traffic lights as we drive, we are taking photos of cool plants and bugs and researching what they are! We are cooking together, we read the Bible together, we set up and pack up the airstream together. The kids are cleaning up garbage everywhere we go and learning to care for the Earth! Everywhere we go is our classroom!
Our kids are learning so much of the things they need to learn in school and then some naturally in just a short time of being on the road, plus a perspective on life that most kids their age don’t have and this is only the beginning.
No I’m not saying our way of teaching is better than anyone else’s, but our kids are doing jussttt fine in the schooling department🥰

Definitely don’t go to California. It’s not pretty at all. You’ll hate it there. And, sunrises suck.😎

You saw what the ants were like when I thought I was doing the right thing (mopping before bed) here is what the ants were like when I did the WRONG thing (neglect the dishes in the sink).
Which do you think is worse? All the ants on the floor or all the ants in The sink? If you didn’t see the floor ants, check out my last post!
Either way, I’m pleased to announce we are going on 4 days ant-FREE! 🥹 I’d like to thank my husband and kids for believing in me through it all😍🙌🏻

Would you give up a comfy but stationary home and move into a 22 ft airstream if it mean you could see sunsets like this almost every night? 😍😍

Hey everyone! WE ARE HEADING INTO MEXICO SOON! A huge part of this trip has turned into our deep need to surrender it to God's will! While many doors closed that I tried to walk through on my own, God was working in the background, putting things in place. "Classic God's Timing" means that we have our ministry layout coming together only days before crossing the border. And we don't want to waste any time. Sometimes God just needs to make sure we know it all came from him ❤️ Our first stop across the border will be (God willing) an orphanage where we can serve the beautiful kids that live there. That is where this fundraiser comes in to play. we have only days before crossing the border and 'starting' the journey God has lead us to. One huge piece of equipment that we are wanting to get our hands on before we leave the US is a good quality outdoor projector to help turn our airstream into a ministry on wheels! find more about our vision with this if you click on the link in my bio! If you have anything (even a small amount) you can give, we can assure you God is going to use it in BIG ways! Please consider giving and in return I can't wait to show you what God does with your generosity!

Welcome to the ‘Cracker Barrel Campground’ of Flagstaff, AR. Sorry, I don’t think the signs are working…

What’s funny is this is probably less than half of the campers that were staying there that night! And in the morning everyone was just out and about socializing. 😂

Had a great time in Navajo Nation and got to learn so much about the culture during Navajo Nation Fair! What a blessing to show up the same day as the giant fair!
