    My 2-Day Trip to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park

    September 27, 2022 /

    For our wedding anniversary this year, my husband and I spent two days in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. Two parks neither of us had ever been to and it was so much fun! Now two days isn't that much time, especially to explore two different (although connected parks), but I think we did a pretty good job of seeing a lot, and I want to share with you exactly what we did, in case you find yourself with only a few days to explore these amazing parks.

    I Lost Another Piece of Home Last Week

    September 9, 2022 /

    Many of us have places that we grew up in, places that feel like home outside of our home. Places that hold a special place in our hearts, that are filled with special memories. Places that feel safe even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else.

    I Finally Found the Perfect Torta

    August 24, 2022 /

    On our first trip there, (Because did I mention I had a torta from them three times in one week?), we ordered a carne asada torta, a carne asada burrito (because we thought the torta wouldn't be enough for us), and two empanadas. On our second trip there we only got a torta, and on our final trip, we ordered a torta and tacos.

    Mount Baldy’s Bear Canyon Made Me Emotional

    August 15, 2022 /

    Because I nearly broke my foot in May, I lost a fight with a 30lb dumbbell, and then spent the entire month of June trying to process the loss of my Tickle, when I set out to do the Bear Canyon Trail in Mount Baldy last month, I was breaking a two and a half month long no hiking streak.

    Camping Tips: 3 Ways I’m Reducing My Waste This Summer

    August 2, 2022 /

    I'm new to camping. Very new to camping. I'm also new to consciously living more sustainably and making more sustainable life choices. And in fact, both my desire to actively change the way I live to save the planet and my desire to camp came about, at about the same time. But as I quickly learned, even though camping sounds like an eco-friendly vacation choice, if you aren't careful the waste produced from a camping trip can add up pretty quickly.

    Why Tickle? The Story Behind the Name

    July 6, 2022 /

    A month ago, today, I had to say goodbye to my furbaby, my best friend, my Tickle. It's been a rough month and everything about this still really hurts. As with any grief, I have my good days, my not-so-good days, and my really rough days. Even though today should be a rough day (I anticipated that it would be), I'm actually doing ok (for now). Every day I'm trying my best to focus on how lucky I was to have such a good girl in my life and all the great memories I have with her, instead of how much it hurts that she's gone. To continue riding that…

    Roe V Wade Officially Overturned – What the Hell is Happening?

    June 26, 2022 /

    I've collected my thoughts and I'm ready to share. Kind of. Sort of. Although a part of me wants to censor myself, compose myself in a more polite way and present my thoughts in a calm and collected matter, everything happening right now is too important. This all matters too much. And whenever I censor myself I risk losing my emotion and my thoughts so here we go!

    The Silence – Saying Goodbye and Learning How to Live without my Best Friend

    June 19, 2022 /

    Today is Father's Day, a tough day in general for me. I didn't want to publish this today, but this day is now hard for two reasons. One because I miss my dad, but two because this is the first "sad" holiday I have to get through without Tickle. Tickle not only got me through the hardest times, but she also got me through the reminders of the hard times, birthdays, and special holidays for loved ones who passed. Not only am I having to learn how to get through death without Tickle, I'm also going to have to learn to get through the hard days without her.

    Murphy Ranch – Old Nazi Compound in the Santa Monica Mountains

    June 5, 2022 /

    Did you know there is an old Nazi sympathizer compound hidden away in the Santa Monica Mountains? (Or at least the start of what was to be a Nazi sympathizer compound.) Accessible via a moderately rated 3.4-mile hike in Rustic Canyon, Murphy's Ranch is a peek into some of the bizarre histories of LA.

First Christmas without my Tickle 🎄 Halloween w First Christmas without my Tickle 🎄 Halloween was her holiday but Christmas just isn't the same without her. I wasn't always a big fan of Christmas, but she always got me through it. And when I finally began to embrace the holiday she was always at the center of it. I miss her cuddles, kisses and wiggle butt even more this time of year.
