Life as a Yowler

Brandon had three store trainings this weekend, two on Saturday and one on Sunday. This morning(Sunday morning) he took Brielle with him. One on one, our kids usually behave really well. I sent along a sticker book and Brandon said she behaved like an angel. She was quiet the whole time Brandon did the training.…

We have been enjoying the different campgrounds we’ve been staying at. Brandon usually  leaves us at the camp while he goes to do his store training. Yesterday’s camp had an indoor pool and a nice playground. I love indoor pools. They save about an hour in sunscreen time. All my kids except Caed love the…

We had a travel day to the state of Texas. While traveling we had a very unfortunate mishap. The fridge flew open and this happened. An entire container of salsa spilled.  I thought about crying but I didn’t. I held it together, cussed, then immediately started cleaning.  The first stop was Amarillo, TexasWe set up…

We had a great time staying at Kevin and Dawn Maust’s campground in Oklahoma. It’s a beautiful property and very warm friendly environment. They’ve cultivated a very positive atmosphere and we love staying at their camp. It was the second time we’ve been there. They’ve done a lot of updates since the last stay, and…

The campground we stayed at last night was in the sticks and I mean the sticks. It wasn’t a KOA. When we first got there there was no power and it was a good four hours until they got someone there to fix it. I was glad for our generator. There was no running water…

Brandon had a store training first thing yesterday morning. Then we drove through the state of Kansas. Kansas was SO windy and talk about the middle of nowhere. We had the hardest time finding anywhere to get gas. We finally found a little gas station that we could fit in. Before we got to Kansas…

We had a very full day today. The only thing we had planned was Brandon’s store training in Rogers, Arkansas. We drove the RV to the store training and I had the kids ride bike around the empty parking lot to get all their energy out. Then I took them inside the store for the…

We drove through the Ozark Mountains today and oh.my.word! Terrifying doesn’t come close to covering. It took us 2 hours to drive 60 miles. There were so many 10mph turns. There were no side rails. We have one regret about this RV and that’s that we didn’t get a diesel. It just can’t handle the…

Brandon and I were talking last night about how blessed we are to have the RV. It’s the single best purchase we’ve ever made as a family. It provides a great opportunity to travel together as a family. Our kids get to see the world. I know it’s a lot more work for Brandon to…

We traveled from Louisville to Huntsville, Alabama yesterday. When we got to Huntsville the weather was beautiful and we played outside until dark. The kids were having so much fun riding bikes and getting all their energy out, they didn’t even ask to eat dinner. It’s amazing how much different life on the road is…
