If you’re new to the blog, our family is on a mission to visit all the National Parks, Monuments, and Historic Sites in the United States.  We keep track of them in our passport books, and are constantly on the National Parks website scoping out our next adventure.  Follow along as we inch nearer to… Read More Find Your Park: Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site

Find Your Park: Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site

October 15, 2018

Have you ever had one of those days where you wake up cranky at everything?  That was me on Sunday morning. I woke up still feeling exhausted, was sick of eating eggs (thanks Whole30), and in general was just annoyed about trivial things (like having to fold laundry and do the dishes).  When Don made… Read More Find Your Park: Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site

Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site

May 10, 2018

Back in June we visited another of Missouri’s National Parks: the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, which is located in St Louis. The property is actually called White Haven and was the home of his in-laws before he married his wife Julia Dent in 1848.  The two met because her brother Fred had been Grant’s… Read More Ulysses S.

March 28, 2018

When Don and I were newlyweds, we visited the Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis (which back then was called the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial – the name was changed February of this year).  It was summer so we walked around the arch and ventured inside to see the exhibits.  However, the tram ride… Read More Gateway Arch National Monument

Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield

January 30, 2018

Despite Missouri being in the middle of a cold snap, we decided to venture out at the beginning of the month to visit Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield.  Not only did we want to get out of the house for some adventure/fresh air, we also know that our time before the boys come is limited and… Read More Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield

National Parks: Sleeping Bear Dunes

June 19, 2017

I had planned to post this last week, but we had a sick babe AND a sick pup that required multiple doctors visits, an ER visit, and a lot of TLC and cuddling (for both parties).  Once they were both recovered, the house was such a disaster and the fridge was empty, so momlife won… Read More National Parks: Sleeping Bear Dunes
