Just a hop, skip and a jump... to Hive?
I've had a lot of fun posting stuff on Steemit in the past few years, but I recently lost inspiration and didn't care much to post much this past year. Once I finally felt like it again, my husband

Daytime trip to Elephant Rocks and Johnson Shut-Ins
In our free time, we can commonly be found exploring around our local area in the Missouri Ozarks. A few weeks ago, @kayla.denise and I decided to venture a little further with five...yes five kids, to

Not Quite Burnt Out...Just Been Smoldering
Holy smokes! I took a little break from Steemit, and it appears that it has been 5 months since my last post. However, I have hit the point that I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with: BURNOUT. Well....

First kayak trip of 2019 on the Jacks Fork River!
We are incredibly fortunate to live within minutes of one of the most pristine and scenic rivers in the state of Missouri. We take every chance we can get to go out and enjoy it! Springtime is officially

Acoustic Lumineers cover in the upholstery shop
I play in a band that’s usually a little loud, crude, and rude. But this past weekend, we volunteered some of our time to go play at a state-wide gathering for the Girl Scouts. We didn’t have much time

I hate goodbyes.. So long, old friend.
I said goodbye to my sweet boy Diego, aka “Woobie”, at 9:20 yesterday morning. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. I was overwhelmed with guilt and grief but Diego knew it was time

A beautiful Sunday at the Jacks Fork River
After several bleak and dreary weeks, the sun finally decided to make an appearance this weekend! Although it was windy and a bit chilly today, we drove down to the river to soak up some sunshine and get

Icicle Hiking Round Two? Sure, why not?!?
A couple weeks ago, my brother @mikeyatez asked me if I wanted to go check out the icicles down by one of our local caves. I told him that @jasonrussell and I had just gone not even a week before, but

Last week I shared some photos from a winter hike where @jasonrussell and I went to search for some icicles. That was intended to be our only stop, but we had about 3 hours of daylight left and there is

I can’t ever find a guitar pick in this house!!!
Well... Jason cleaned out our desk the other night and found a few ;) I guess I have a fresh supply of guitar picks for this week! I love how the “credit card pick” still stayed in the stash, somehow.

Icicle Hunting in the Missouri Ozarks with @jasonrussell
On Saturday, we finally got a decent amount of snow here in our little part of Missouri! It wasn't much, but it was more than the usual mushy, gross stuff that we've been getting the past few years. I

10 Years...Gone but Never Forgotten
Since 2009, January has been kind of a tough month for our little group of friends and family. We lost two of our very good friends...two days in a row in January 2009. Ten years ago...an entire decade....

Winter adventures are good for the soul!
Winter is undoubtedly my least favorite season here in Missouri. It's dark when I go to work. It's dark when I get home. I'm not a fan. However, there is still always something beautiful to be seen in
