Where Do We Go Next?

Hello, my lovely!

This month somehow just flew by, am I right? We're getting all set up for the new year over here: making new habits, planning our future, staying active and healthy! Are you keeping track with your New Year's Resolutions?

I had a little technical issue with my blog that had to get resolved hence the lack of posting this past month, but I am back up and running with a new RV Life Diaries post for you. Find out where we've been exploring next in the series. Linked below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

My Etsy Shop also got a massive reconfigure, I'm focusing on niching down to only a few topics, mainly my favorites: bookish and cottage core merch! Check it out.

As always, for steady updates, subscribe to my Kofi where I post a few times a week -- you'll never miss a new blog post or YouTube video. Plus extra photos of our travels before they are posted anywhere else!


See what I read last year! You can view my favorite books of 2023 here.

See what else I've read on my Goodreads! Feel free to friend or follow so you can have updates on your feed and we can talk books!


Live vicariously through us in my RV Life Diaries blog series. We road-tripped from Florida to North Dakota in two weeks! See where we went.
