Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How are you on this 10th day of May?! I am up early this morning. . . hoping to get some extra motivation for the things I have on my “to do” list. Perhaps you can relate!?! Yesterday we spent the day in Provo, Utah but didn’t actually get out and explore. I know, it’s horrible. But after weeks of being in mostly national parks we had a lot of laundry, school and work to get caught up on. Clean clothes, hot showers and school work are always a priority when we are able. We also filled up our propane tanks (we use propane mostly for heat and cooking) and spent lots of quality time together. It rained and stormed on/off all day – so I didn’t feel too bad about sticking close to home and we were blessed with quite a rainbow last night!
The next few days we’re hoping to making it from Provo to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho! We recently made some changes in plans to get to the Northwest earlier than expected. We have a lot of appointments (like doctor check-ups) and lots of “housekeeping” type of needs – so we figured the earlier we get up there the earlier we can start our next adventure. More on that soon. . .but we are pretty much doing LOTS of driving over the next few days. It’s only 731 miles but when you’re towing your home and traveling with adorable munchkins that seems like a LOT farther. 🙂 So we are taking three days to do this trek so we aren’t miserable. Any of you live in the Coeur d’Alene area? Would love to hear from you!
This morning I wrapped up a blog post about our time in the Verde Valley area of Arizona. This place is a great family vacation destination – because there is so much to explore! Cottonwood, Jerome, Prescott, Sedona. . . all within an hours drive and so much to do. Read more about it here.
