Why, hello again. I’ve been giving a lot of thought to my life lately since my father died. I’ve thought about the time I spend on things and where I can cut back. Big things. Little things. All sorts of things in between. I have a full post coming up next week about my One [...]

If you’ve seen the tweets, you know that my dad is very ill. He moved back to Costa Rica (where he’s from) last fall after living in the U.S. since the 70s. My family and I were 8 hours from home when we found out (on Thanksgiving/my birthday actually) and so we drove home yesterday. [...]

Woohoo for the Weekend! Seriously. I’m tired beyond belief. I’ve got so much going on lately that I haven’t slept much (but at least when I sleep, I sleep HARD). Week in My Life is definitely a lot of work but I’m happy to be capturing decent shots. Just glad we only have two more [...]

Yep, it’s a mostly staycation for me this week. While we’ll get heading somewhere later this week, I’m using part of this week to regroup, refresh and catch up on a few other things. Plus, writing and launching an eBook will make ya tired. A Few Nuggets to Share Before You Go! For you awesome people coming [...]

You knew I’d do it, right? Last week, I gave away my blog conference virginity to the Type A Parent Conference in Asheville, NC. While I’ve been to conferences and trade shows before, this whole blog conference scene was new to me. Yesterday I wrote about things I learned outside of the sessions. Today I’m [...]

When a blogger goes to a blog conference, you KNOW you’ll get at least one post about it, right? I went to Asheville, NC last week to attend the fab Type A Parent Conference. It’s a blogging conference about—you guessed it—blogging. Yes, I’ll be sharing some of the blogging knowledge I soaked up. Stay tuned [...]

Happy Monday, peeps! Adventuroo will be a wee bit quiet this week. I’m heading to Type A Parent conference in Asheville this week so I’m keeping the workload light. If you’ll be at Type A too (and I know some of you will be), then be sure to find me. I’m collecting business cards for [...]

For four years now, Mother’s Day means, among other obvious things, hiking. Y’all probably think that I’m super gung-ho and we shuffle out the door at 6 am. Oh noooooo. Not me. I start off every Mother’s Day by sleeping in while Daddy Roo simultaneously makes breakfast while making sure the kids don’t destroy something [...]

My big dude is a budding photographer. His aunt and uncle came to visit and took Big Roo on a walk. In his hands? A non-digital fish eye camera.

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.
