I find joy in a 4 x 6… a set of them actually. A few weeks ago I captured A Week in My Life through pictures. What may be boring, mundane shots to others shout nothing but joy to me. Because in between the vacations and the milestones and all those other BIG things hide [...]

Okay, so it’s technically WORDFUL Wednesday but hang with me a sec! We hit the beach last weekend for a few days. My sister lives in Myrtle Beach so we had a free place to crash, had two extra hands and didn’t have to spend a zillion dollars on eating out. So, how was my [...]

This picture is leftover from my Week in the Life Series. Your typical boy, obsessed with Cars!

Happy Hump Day, everyone! Today’s guest blogger is Debi from Go Explore Nature. Debi was one of my first blogging friends. I was new and timid, wondering “who on Earth is gonna read what I have to say?” Then Debi came along on Twitter, told me about the #playoutdoors hashtag and well, made me feel [...]

Alternately titled: The Post Where I Milk This Week in the Life Project for All It’s Worth First of all, a huge thanks to those of you who followed my insane Week in the Life project like a reality TV show. I know I’m not quite as interesting (and by interesting I mean a train-wreck) as [...]

You thought we were done with this shenanigans didn’t you? Well, what’s a Week in the Life project without a WEEKEND… isn’t that the best part after all? The weekend was a mix of fun, frustration, friends and owies. I guess you could say the big event was our anti-climactic urgent care tour. The 30-second [...]

Friday, you get my glorious middle finger. I had high hopes for you but you decided it’d be much more fun to deprive me of a sweaty workout. And make me forget the most important thing I went to Babies R Us for. If that weren’t enough, you added to list-of-crappy-stuff-that-happened-today the thrill of rushing [...]

Oh, Thursday! You are just like Tuesday… but closer to Friday so better. As I’m going through the day, I wonder “what would I have liked to see from my mother’s or grandmother’s typical day when she was my age?” I mean really, wouldn’t that be fascinating? A receipt would show the price she paid [...]

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 marketing ninja 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 3-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’s already been on two hikes and loves gazing up at the trees from the comfort of his Baby Bjorn.
