by 5 Comments


Thanks to Rick’s RV for working with me on this video
in exchange for a power tongue jack to be installed at a later date.

Hi, guys! Well, I can finally share my Big Life Update with you all, and it’s that my family and I are going to be RV living full-time in 2017 and possibly beyond! So basically, my family of seven is going to be living in a tiny RV, and we’re going to be sharing our adventures with you along the way.

I hope you enjoy the video, and as always, thanks for watching! πŸ™‚

P.S. I already have 5 more vlogs filmed but I’ve had limited time and internet access in order to get these uploaded. That should change soon, though! We’re hoping to have a mobile hotspot delivered next week.

Thanks to the Ferrara Candy Company and Brookfield Zoo for inviting us to attend this special Boo! at the Zoo.

Hi, guys! In this video, we take the kids trick or treating at Boo! at the Zoo at the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois. This was a rare treat for my kids because we don’t usually trick or treat on Halloween. But they loved it, and we all had a great day at the zoo!

I hope you enjoy the video, and as always, thanks for watching! πŸ™‚

Ferrara Candy Company shared a lot of happiness with the community by sponsoring 400+ neighbors with complimentary admission and transportation to Boo! at the Zoo. They also donated more than 10,000 pounds of candy and provided more than 300 volunteers to make this Halloween super special and spooktacular for the community.
