This is about living life with more of what matters. It’s about reconnecting with our roots and disconnecting from things that don’t serve us. It’s about staying curious and never getting too comfortable.

Go outside. Grow a plant. Climb a mountain. Paddle a river. Travel somewhere new. Take a chance.  

Because life should be anything but ordinary.

Welcome…

Hey there! I’m Laura – outdoor enthusiast, dog mom, homesteader wannabe, fishing camp owner, hopeless dreamer, and advocate for type 2 fun.

I know how easy it is to fall into an ordinary life – the one where you spend your days going through the motions, keeping up with the Jones’, and going after the things you’re told you should want.

But it doesn’t need to be that way.

I believe an “ordinary” life should be one that lights you up, not one that snuffs you out. It should be intentional, carefully crafted, and full of things that spark a fire right down deep in your core.

In my opinion, the spice of life is made up of adventure, curiosity, simple pleasures, novelty, creativity, and a big ol’ daily dose of fresh air (and dogs, of course).

Whether you’re looking to spend more time outside, reconnect with your roots, or take the leap on an epic dream, you have come to the right place. I offer thoughts, recommendations, information, and inspiration to help you live life with more of what matters.

  • Get outside and have an adventure, whether on the trail or on the water
  • Gain self-reliance by growing your own food, getting off grid, and reconnecting with nature
  • Up the awesome factor and add an adventure dog to your life
  • Hit the road, push your limits, and travel somewhere new-to-you
