Dad has sung this song to me for as long as I can remember. As a teenager, it used to annoy the heck out of me. But as an adult, things have come full circle and I regularly sing it to Eloise. 🙃

Things rarely go how you think they will, Almost never go to plan, but somehow turn out the way they were supposed to in the end. Grateful every day that we chose to go on this crazy adventure together.

Thanks to the Rolling Stones for teaching us life‘s lessons early!

We’re only five days away from summer solstice, the longest day of the year. And then the days will start getting shorter as we inch toward winter.

Dad says the long summer days have been one of his hardest adjustments, but I’ve found we’ve adapted pretty well.

We don’t use a blackout cover when camping and still sleep well throughout the night. And waking up for a night time p*e break is a lot easier when you don’t need to find a headlamp. 🙃

We’re heading out on our first camping trip of the season today, so I thought I’d get a little nostalgic and share some film photos from last summer.

It’s a short season, but it sure is magical. ✨

I’ve been giving my dad haircuts since I was in high school. Back then, I’d give him mullets, George Washington style cuts, that cut from the Grinch on the jerk of a mayor. Then I’d hold up a mirror and laugh and laugh before continuing with the real trim.

So, this was much less intrusive than that. 🤣

A cheechako is a newcomer to Alaska, and truly, you’re pretty much considered a newbie unless you were born here.

Four years in, and I’m certainly cemented in cheechako territory, but I’m getting my sea legs. 🙃

Fellow Alaskans, what would you add to the list?

I know we’re not the only folks on this platform trying to earn some extra income from our content. But we wanted to do something beyond the screen, something tangible you can hold in your hands.

So we created The Forget Me Not Post - a monthly snail mail subscription from our Alaskan homestead - and we couldn’t be more proud of what it’s becoming.

June’s issue just went out to subscribers across 19 states and three countries, complete with a letter, original art, recipes from our kitchen and something from the homestead directly to the mailbox.

July’s issue could come to yours. ✨

Comment ‘Forget Me Not’ below, and we’ll send you the link to subscribe. To everyone who has already signed up, I can’t say thank you enough. Your issue should be arriving any day now! 🐌💌

One day is really all it takes to make you think, “How could I ever live any place else?” We’re all suckers for the summer.

One day we’re working in the city at corporate jobs, the next we’re walking a pack of goats through the Alaskan woods with our toddler. Wild.
