My name is Lela! I’m a wife to a wonderful husband, mom to 2 of the silliest girls I have ever met, and an occupational therapist. I love outdoor activities such as hiking, camping and fishing. I also enjoy travel, crafting/sewing, fitness, food, and personal finance. Our life is not the normal traditional life. We relocate often with my husband’s job, leaving behind friends and making new ones. I have been blessed to keep in touch with many of our wonderful friends along the way. I try to embrace the simple things and enjoy this adventure we call life. I value moments over material objects and try to raise my children the same way. I am very much a family centered person. I would rather spend my evenings with my husband and children (although my husband does talk me into a date night once in a while 😉). I try to live through biblical principles and believe we are placed on this earth to help and serve others. 

I am often overwhelmed by our society’s need to value material items over all else. In an attempt to counterbalance this, we are raising our girls with a strong emphasis on family time and adventure. We believe life is one big adventure and it is important to see the beauty around us. 

I decided to start this blog to journal our experiences. Moving often has not been easy but we have met so many people along the way that have influenced our lives. I am so grateful for those people and hope to be able to influence others as well.  I hope you find it helpful and quite entertaining and that my sarcastic sense of humor shows through. But mostly, I hope this blog inspires you to get out and create your own adventures! Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments. I love connecting with others!
