Life as a Yowler

This week has been such a mix of up and down emotions. Sunday evening(the night before our week at Disney) we got word that one of our best friends’ home burned and they lost almost everything. They were all safe, thank God. But there were some close calls getting the kids out of the house…

Life is always a mix of crazy and relaxing when we’re on the road. Some days it can feel overwhelming. But those days are WAY less than the last trip we took. The last big trip was 2 years ago. My kids are so much more independent this time. Overall, this has been so fun…

Alright, story time…… I have been on an organization kick around here. I blame the new year. I have been sorting and going through clothes and figuring out what I need in the cabin, and what I need over in the big house. Side note…..we are living in a little cabin that’s on our property,…

Happy New Year from the Yowlers! 2021 started out as a year like we would not have imagined. I think everyone has dealt with difficult circumstances in one way or another. There’s been loss, hurt, pain, trauma, sickness and many other things. I am thankful for a new year and a new beginning. While 2021…

Just a fair warning, this blog is a little bit on the disgusting side. I said goodbye to a friend today. This friend has been with me 10 years(I know this cause that’s the length of my marriage). So I have had this obnoxious cyst under my right arm. I got it checked out and…

Some days need documented, so I never forget. I always think there’s no way I will every forget, but too much chaos makes me forget. So I better just write these things down. Some days are more eventful than others. Today was one of them. Today was supposed to be fairly low key. We had…

Sometimes I win as a parent. Let me tell you about my win of the week. Today, as we were walking out the door to church, I realized that all four kids had packed a backpack. Wonderful. I told them that starting next week absolutely no backpacks are coming with us to church. But I…

That’s how long it takes to drive a mini van through the Wasatch Mountain Range. We were the only idiots who tried this today. Everyone else had a Jeep, truck, gator, or some mountainous vehicle. They are smart. We are dumb. Brandon decided to scope out the property that he is scheduled to hunt tomorrow.…

You might be wondering about my title. I can’t say I blame you. One of the most annoying things about motor homing is the fridge situation. With all the driving, turns, and bumps the fridge gets bumped open pretty often. Keep in mind, that each RV comes with locks on the fridge, but sometimes the…

Let me start out by saying I figured out why I can’t upload any pictures lately. I’m at 164% of my storage capacity. This is even after upgrading my plan twice. I’m obviously no tech expert, and I’ve been uploading pictures in the highest quality form. Oops. Unless I go through each individual post and…
