SURVIVING ROAD TRIPS WITH A BABY

Before Acacia was 5 months old we had already driven over 4,000 miles with her through 6 states and taken multiple 3-hour trips to visit family in Northern Idaho. Trust me, I did the math. A lot of people looked at us like we were crazy when we told them that we were planning on taking our…

HOUSE OF WANDER: AN INTRODUCTION

I created my blog in 2012, after my first time traveling to Thailand when I was 18 years old. I fell in love with everything about Thailand and took thousands of photos while we were there. I wanted a way of organizing my memories, experiences, and photos, thus The Bohemian Lifestyle was born. I gained a…

The goal for Wild Keepers is to actively promote sustainable outdoor recreation and clean up trash from our local area. I’ve always loved Keep It Wild because they make the comfiest t-shirts with the cutest outdoorsy themed graphics.…

PARENTS WEEKEND

It’s been almost a year since Dustin and I have had an entire night to ourselves! My parents lovingly offered to watch Acacia for the weekend so we could go on a little getaway together. No worrying about rushing home to the babysitter and no worrying about having to get up early with the baby.…

THE BOTTOMLESS PIT

The day before Christmas Eve, I had a last minute engagement photoshoot for a family friend. My parents watched Acacia for the day while Dustin and I took a trip to his mom’s house 3 hours away. There are quite a few cute, small towns that you pass through on the way but our favorite…

COFFEE & RESOLUTIONS

I’ve always loved New Year’s and the symbolism of having a fresh start. It’s a chance for me to reflect back on the past year, what I’ve accomplished, and what I could improve on. Like many, I try to set new goals and expectations for myself. It leaves me feeling energized, transformed, and ready to…

NEW YEARS IN THE MOUNTAINS

The holidays this year was one for the books. Since I was on break from school for a month, I was able to sleep in…kind of. We spent a lot of time with family and friends, which is always my favorite part about the holiday season. My mom and I made Acacia’s Christmas stocking together,…

HOLIDAY TRADITIONS

I’ve probably said it a million times, but I’m so stoked for Acacia’s first Christmas!! It marks the beginning of many years to come of playing Santa and holiday traditions, new and old. It’s true when they say the spirit of Christmas lies in the heart of children (“they” as in a movie a heard…

There is always that one point during the day where Acacia gets a little stir-crazy from being cooped up in the house for too long. She gets bored, starts getting into everything she knows she isn’t supposed to, and then the dreaded temper tantrums start. That’s when I know its time to go for a…
