The word Saxapahaw is a normal part of the vocabulary in our house. Not because it’s fun to say, but because my hubby is working on a renovation project there. Yep, it’s a town. In North Carolina. That many people haven’t even heard of. And it’s too bad cause it’s a charming little place. It [...]

This year, a lot more settled and feeling a lot more adventurous, we set out with [...]

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.
