Life as a Yowler

I love to goof around and make my birthday week all about me. I told my kids we would be celebrating me all week. And this week will be one of the biggest weeks of the year, because mom is very awesome. 🤣 While I was just joking, i had no idea this week really…

I’ve really been slacking in my blogging lately. It’s not that I don’t have time or thoughts. I’ve never had more of both those things. It’s honestly pure laziness and while I’m being honest….I’ve also been slightly hesitant. Things have been crazy. I’m not just talking about the world. I’m talking about people. Everyone(or at…

The Yowler family has been surviving the quarantine. I’m not going to complain. I realize we have it easy. We are literally staying home on our butts and staying safe. I know we’re blessed. But I’m also going to be real. It hasn’t been easy. There has been fighting. Emotions and moods have been ALL…

It’s been a crazy week and I’m not just talking about what’s going on with the coronavirus. My kids have had their own share of issues that have left me exhausted. I want to forewarn everyone….don’t read if you don’t like hearing about puke or poop. If you’re a mom, I’m pretty sure you’ll be…

This is not an easy blog to write. I tend to be very sentimental. After a 32 year business partnership with Art Van Furniture, the news is official. They have filed bankruptcy and they are closing all their stores. It is honestly because of Art Van, that Gascho Furniture exists(I’ll tell the story later on…

Now that I have all the packing undone, it feels great to be home. One of the very first things we did when we got back, was visit my dad’s goats at the little barn by the shop. My kids have really missed them. As you can see, Joah missed the memo that we were…

We decided to add 4 hours to our trip and drive south. I think we made the right decision. We drove through the mountains of Colorado once in the ice. I still have grey hairs to prove that that was one of the most awful, stressful experiences ever. Coming down a mountain in an RV…

This trip has slowly come to a close. We are headed home either tonight or tomorrow morning. I think God started preparing me for Michigan again. Yesterday, He sent a downpour of snow to Cedar City, Utah. Brandon’s cousin said it was Cedar’s biggest snowstorm of the year. I couldn’t believe how fast the storm…

I can’t remember everything from the last couple day. Quite honestly, all these days are starting to blend together. I’ll do my best. Evan flew home early yesterday morning. The kids miss him. Overall, it went great with him. He did say he was glad to get back and rest and enjoy some quiet. I…

Saturday, we drove to Sacramento. We stopped at the Jelly Belly Factory on the way, to take the free tour. This was our third time taking the tour. Its still one of my kids’ favorite things to do. They love those jelly beans. They have learned by now which jelly beans to sample at the…
