About

Hello.

I’m Miranda and this is my sweet little family — my husband Matt and our two wild girls. Before becoming a parent, I often heard the phrase “do it before you have kids”. Soon enough, I also found myself believing the narrative that our life of travel and adventure could not continue after children. While hiking in Yosemite National Park, we passed a family with two very young children. I turned to my husband and said “we could never be those people". We laugh about it now because after becoming parents, we realized traveling and adventuring with kids is not only possible, it has helped us see the world through a wider and more vivid lens. Now I can’t imagine a life that where I allowed my children to be a reason why decided not to travel or pursue things that bring me joy. I also know first hand how intimidating it can feel! By sharing our family’s journey, I hope to can inspire and empower other families just like mine to live a life full of adventure together. Here you’ll find my honest motherhood and travel journal along with tips to help you travel confidently and do more with your kids. If you want to travel more as a family, learn about van life with kids, or simply want to get outdoors more often, you’ll find lots here to help you along the way! The memories are worth the challenges every time — I promise.
