When you live in an RV...

Sun and fun to everyone!

After a very trying past week, I am back online. My computer took a dive and so did ALL my pictures, books, and documents. I'm thankful my husband got me a laptop, but I still have not recovered the other treasures from my desktop. But there is still hope!

In the meantime I am learning how to use this new laptop. 

RVing is a life in and of itself. Here's a post that describes it a bit!

When you live in an RV....





this is where you have P.E.! 



you get to play checkers outside after lunch!


you may see one of these on the blinds over your bed!


you can draw on your table cloth

you study outside until someone disagrees while the other is confused!


you go here to wash



you dry your clothes like this!


you eat late night slices of watermelon


this is your cooking stove


your children create the "guess which one I want" game from vending machines

you eat breakfast outside unless it rains


When you live in an RV, and you don't know what to do with an item, you just keep throwing it in the laundry basket, until you figure it out!

When you live in an RV, you value people and places, over things.

Second guessing?

Sun and fun to everyone!

I have noticed a pattern in my life. Whenever I make a decision that brings any change to my life, I second guess myself. Somewhere along the way, I begin asking myself, if I made the right choice. I hear myself asking if this makes sense or should I have done this or that.

Do you notice that when you decide to do something that’s different, someone has objections to what you have decided? They can rattle off all the reasons why you can’t or should NOT do it.

Sometimes even if this does not happen, we can do this to ourselves. That inner voice tells us that this may not happen or even worse, this might happen or that might happen.

Well, the decision to travel did not come without the self-doubt. I went through all the second guessing and wondering if this is really the right thing to do. I even thought about all the “not so good things” that could happen.

But you know what? I have learned that second guessing is normal and not ALL bad. It’s good to think things through. What’s not good is to dwell on the “what if’s”. Sometimes we have to feel what we feel and move forward anyway!

So if you make a decision and then second guess it, it’s ok! Whatever you do, keep moving while you’re second guessing. That voice will quiet down as you gain momentum.

Soon the second guessing will turn to courage and faith. Before you know it, you’ll be doing what you’re doing and then you’ll be getting new thoughts on what to do next! This is living.

That’s where I am now. Fully focused and ready to rock and roll! I am constantly praying and watching as our plans unfold.

Open road, here we come. I can’t wait to get out there!

Riding shotgun!


Sun and fun to everyone!
We’re out and about checking out the RV, making sure it’s road ready, and working out the kinks. The children are enjoying the RV life so far.
They also get a kick out of riding shotgun. At first they did not know what it meant, but now they do!
Buckle up, safety first!









Early morning rest in the RV.
