    5 Ideas to Solve RV Wardrobe Overcrowding

    When I decided to live RV life with three other women, I already knew there were going to be big sacrifices.  One of the young women traveling with me, my daughter, was a vocal performer.  She needed her everyday outfits, but also needed to travel with performance costumes. With the exception of my daughter, each…

    Weathering RV Living…

    One thing that just sort of happens, when you are an RVer, is that you spend more time outside.  In my home in Texas, there were days on end that I didn’t step outside the house and thought nothing of it.  In my RV, I would go outside just to not breathe the same air…

    7 Different Questions to Ask Before Purchasing Your RV

    When I made the choice to live in an RV full time, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into.  There were four of us going on this adventure…two grown women and two young women.  We smartly chose our RV based on the cash we could scrounge up and did not go…

    Keeping Cool In AZ…

    My 5th wheel is currently parked in Mesa, AZ year round. In the winter, AZ offers awesome weather! Late Spring thru early Fall though the temperatures are 100* or higher EVERY day. The heat is just brutal. The mornings and evenings offer very little relief with some days the temps only getting into the lower…

    How Quickly Things Change

    Some years life doesn’t change very much.  Some years (or even in a day) life changes dramatically.  My last post was Feb 2018.  In 2018, I had this goal of doing at least a monthly blog.  So much for goals, right?  Where I am and how much I travel has changed Last year, I was…

    My Normal Job Search…

    I have a refrigerator magnet that reads “I wouldn’t want to be normal, even if I knew what it was.”  One of my personal favorites.  I am learning more and more that I am not “normal”.  Normal people seem to want a nice home, well behaved family, and stable jobs. I have had so many…

    Hurricanes, RV Living, and Bingo Queens

    I started the adventure of a life time living full time in a 35 foot RV with three other women.  The unexpected was part of the plan.  Our original route took us out of Texas and to Florida where we planned to stay until Christmas.  Hurricane Irma had other plans for us.  We did not…

    Getting ready to change locations

    I am working on moving my entire life into a 36′ RV.  It is not easy.  Downsizing and letting go of “stuff” sounds liberating (and it is), but the process is surprisingly emotionally grueling.  We are just under two weeks until it is time to make the transition permanent.  I have been purging closets, the…
