Roving Cooks

Time for a new adventure! Over the last 6 or so weeks, we’ve sold our cars, bought a truck and an RV, prepped, listed, and sold our house in Madison, and set a last day at my (Jackie’s) job.

Why the change? Lots of reasons. Personal events like changes in childcare and the loss of our beloved dog, Luna. Debates around how much money to put into our lovely old home v. moving. Desire to make a professional shift. Feeling inspired by Mr Money Mustache, the concept of repotting, the tiny house movement, and drawn to the appeal of heading out of the Midwest for the winter.

Goals for the next 6-9 months? Take advantage of the great outdoors across the USA while our kids are young and not yet in school. Thrive on quality time together instead of lamenting the temporary loss of the things we be doing “normally”. Adventure. Experience. Embrace the anticipated steep learning curve (there’s a reason not many of you have gone camping with me…and those who have are likely cracking up right now). Drive a REALLY BIG TRUCK while towing a REALLY BIG RV. Be kind to each other and ourselves. And finally – to share this experience with you and our future selves.

I’m glad you’re joining us here! Wheels rolling out January 8!
