In food land, fall is nearly synonymous with “pumpkin”- pumpkin spice lattes (my addiction 3 years running), pumpkin soups, pumpkin pies, pumpkin cream cheese (I miss Einstein Bagels)… I could go on like Bubba from Forrest Gump but you get the picture. Do your taste buds go numb from pumpkin overload? Mine sure don’t! So [...]

Last year we took a trip to the Great Smokies- first time I’d been there in years! Although the weather wasn’t the best, it was great to be out hiking on a new trail! And my personal favorite… who knew fungus on a tree could be so beautiful?

While we’ve lived in North Carolina long enough to experience fall, last year we were in the midst of house shopping so our fall pumpkin adventures amounted to a pumpkin “patch” in the Kroger parking lot next to McDonald’s. This year, a lot more settled and feeling a lot more adventurous, we set out with [...]

Okay, so I talk too much to go full-on with Wordless Wednesday. Instead, I’ll give ya “Less Words Wednesday.” Call it a compromise with the blogosphere. Fall is in full swing.

Hiking. Camping. Kayaking. Rock climbing. Sounds exciting and adventurous, right? But what about when you have a 2-year-old who thinks the berries on that bush over there look yummy and lacks any fear of heights or strange animals? Yep, I thought so.

I’m Melissa. Most people call me Mel. I’m a mama to two boys and a lover of all things outdoors. I'm a marketer who hearts good grammar. I also love Twitter, my Mac and all things techy.
This is Daddy Roo. We met in 1995, got married in 2000 and had Big Roo seven years later. Yeah, we like to take our time. Daddy Roo plays soccer, loves cooking more than I do and takes sarcasm to a level few people can. He’s awesome.
Big Roo is our 4-year-old ball of energy. He’s all boy except for the pink bear he carries around. I embrace the contradiction. He’s already a fan of hiking and camping.
The youngest of the Roo family. He loves eating kiwis, chasing his brother and swinging in our backyard. He also loves attacking his brother with a squeal of laughter.
