An unplugged autumn camping trip in the mountains. 🍂⛺️🍄🍁🧦

We haven’t done a first-come-first-serve, free campsite since we lived in our van back in 2021. Chad had been dying to take me to this special spot in the mountains for months now, and so, we packed up our camping gear and our dogs and went for it! The site was tucked in a national forest and right beside a running creek, so we watched clouds race before our eyes under the light of the full moon, to the continuous sound of the water and the trees. Mushrooms were growing all around us, and leaves fell in slow motion from the trees above. We never knew what time it was, aside from guesses based off of where the sun was in the sky— it felt good to be disconnected from everything else in that way.

It was cool to revisit what felt like an old chapter in our lives, but this time, as 27 year olds (rather than 22-23 year olds) and with two little dogs. Oh, how time has flown, and what a treat it was to dream of what our future could be. 2025-10-12 04:36:32 An un.. 558 +56% 28 -6%

It’s officially soup season!!! 🍲🍂🧦🧺🍪

I decided to host an autumn soup soirée, where everyone brought a simmering creation of their own, and I had the most lovely time sampling soups of all kinds. (If you’ve ever wanted to experience a soup buffet, this is truly the party to throw hahaha.) I wanna say a huge props to the ladies for driving through the winding countryside roads with pots of hot soup balancing in their backseats, because wow, that was some true dedication to make this gathering a reality. 😂

From classic favorites, like traditional chili and creamy chicken noodle, to fun twists, like German kitchen soup and pumpkin gnocchi soup (my contribution haha), we had a massive spread of NINE soups to try! It was all accompanied by homemade sourdoughs, pumpkin breads, seasonal drinks, and a tasty variety of sweet treats. 

I’d decided to transform my back deck to something similar to a coffee house patio, inspired by the Norwegian cafes we visited this past summer. There were freshly picked flowers, flickering candles, cozy blankets, and glowing string lights hanging all around us. It was truly the best way to kick off the fall season and such a wonderful start to the week. Ever so grateful for this local community of women. 🧡 2025-09-16 19:48:15 .. 392 +9% 32 +7%

This is one of those moments we can’t stop thinking about. 👇

One of the main reasons we decided to travel in July, even though we usually don’t, was to finally see the midnight sun. 🌅

It was our first time experiencing it and we chose to do it from a kayak in Lofoten. On the way there, the sky was completely overcast and we weren’t sure if we’d see anything at all… but once we were out on the water, the clouds slowly parted, almost like nature wanted to make sure our first time was a special one. Truly one of the most magical things we’ve ever experienced! ✨

POV: You’re driving in Lofoten ✨

We keep thinking back to that drive 🏔️🚗. Towering peaks, turquoise waters and fishing villages straight out of a postcard. Time seemed to slow down and every turn made us wish the road would never end.

We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to celebrate our anniversary. 🥹

We love a candlelight dinner, but this year we swapped it for fresh air and hiking boots. Mannen is an easy 1.5-hour hike in Norway’s Lofoten Islands, with a steady incline and views over Haukland and Uttakleiv Beach that made every step worth it. 😍

Not saying a Norwegian cinnamon bun will solve all your problems… but it might just make you forget them for a little while 😅

Honestly, one of the things that inspired our trip to Norway was the famous Norwegian bakery scene and especially their cinnamon buns. So soft, fluffy, fresh out of the oven and just the right amount of sweet. There’s something about sitting by the ocean, the salty breeze in the air, wrapped up on a cozy day and tasting something so simple yet so perfect… it’s pure joy. 😍

If only we could have an unlimited supply at home haha. Have you ever tried one? 😋 2025-08-17 20:30:21 Not sayi.. 162 -55% 22 -26%
Those who know me or watch our Instagram stories know that I love capturing a place through its colors. 🎨 There's something magical about translating landscapes into palettes. Lofoten was no exception! 

From bright green mountains to glassy turquoise bays, from the golden glow of the midnight sun to the cozy hues of fresh Norwegian buns, it was a full-on color feast. Lofoten was a place that didn’t just stay in our memories, but painted them!

Do you ever notice the colors when you travel? Save this for your next Norway mood board! 💙🇳🇴

Did I (Claire) outfish Chad? 😜

Okay, technically, he caught more…but, I wasn’t expecting to reel in an Atlantic cod as my very first fish! 🎣

We went on a fishing boat tour in Lofoten and couldn’t have asked for better conditions: calm seas, great people, and seven fish caught in total! It was only our fourth time fishing together, so we were shocked we caught anything at all hahaha 😄

Lofoten has a rich fishing history that dates back to the Viking Age and getting to be a small part of that was something special. Definitely a must-do when visiting Northern Norway!

Would you add this to your bucket list?

448 meters might not sound like much, but after THOUSANDS of steps straight up a mountain, our legs felt every single one.

It took us about an hour to reach the top of Reinebringen, and as the clocks struck midnight, we were rewarded with this view. 🤯 The midnight sun was hiding behind periwinkle clouds, casting a soft glow that reflected on the sea below. It felt surreal in every way! ✨

Hiking between 10 PM and 2 AM was such an unforgettable part of our time in Norway. If you plan on visiting, definitely add this experience to your list! 

Would you do this hike? ⛰️ Save this spot for your future Norway adventures! 🇳🇴

In our mid-twenties, we realized the most expensive things we own aren’t things at all. 

It’s the peace we fought hard to find ✨, understanding the importance of saving so that we could afford a life of both stability and adventure. It’s the freedom we chose to have by choosing to invest in seeing the world and becoming small business owners. It’s our time and energy, two treasures we put value in by spending it on what we love and people we love 💛.

Since moving to the Blue Ridge Mountains, we’ve learned about discovering wealth in community and we’ve been intentionally building friendships that feel grounding. We’ve chosen to consume less and put our money towards memories instead of things. These are the riches we carry. The ones that don’t show up on paper, but mean everything to us.

Travel creator logic 👇

Pay over $2,000 for a flight, then spend 90% less on an onigiri and feel like you’re winning at life. 😂 

It’s all about balance, right? Travel is expensive, but the little cheap treats make it feel so much sweeter.

Do you ever trick yourself into thinking you’re ✨saving✨ while traveling? 👀

Traveling can make it difficult to fall asleep: 

the flight attendants suddenly bring out food right when your eyes are about to shut, the window seat needs to use the restroom in the middle of your nap 🥴, a drink cart accidentally slams your elbow as you’re about to doze off…

But, somehooow, I (Claire) manage to catch some zzz’s wherever I am. 💤 I put on my eye mask, sometimes even a face mask (mostly because I cannot for the LIFE of me, sleep with my mouth closed hahaha), and let myself relax, regardless of what’s going on around me haha. 

It’s my little ritual to block out the chaos, and get some much needed rest on the go. 🤭

Send this to someone who needs to try the eye mask + face mask combo 😂

Here’s to our 5-year wedding anniversary! 🌿🧳👒🌼🐟☀️🥾

Marriage continues to be one of the most marvelous, challenging, heart-warming, patient, forgiving, and rewarding relationships I’ve ever had the chance to experience. When we got married at 22, we were both still discovering our personal identities, meaning we had the chance to grow together, tremendously, as a team. One of the most wonderful things we learned was how to love and respect the other person in the way they feel loved and respected. It’s easy to show love in the ways we were raised, but harder to show love in ways that feel foreign to us. We started to understand what parts of each other are parts that need to be accepted, and what parts are parts that could be challenged. We began to understand what brings each other purpose, how to best serve and communicate to each other, and how grace and patience are some of the greatest gifts we could ever receive. Getting to where we are now took more work than we ever thought possible, and that is why we’re celebrating big for this one! We’re grateful to be up in Norway’s Lofoten Islands, delighting in the freshest of seafood and pastries, cherishing the light of the midnight sun, and swimming in the icy waters of the Norwegian Sea. Cheers to five spectacular years and to a lifetime of adventure ahead. 2025-07-25 20:29:22 .. 1,180 +229% 84 +181%

Save this for your Slovenia trip 👆🇸🇮

If you’re still undecided on where to travel this summer, let us put Slovenia on your radar. It ended up being one of the most surprising countries we visited in Europe, in all the best ways.

We explored Ljubljana’s charming old town, wandered through jaw-dropping castles, and spent slow days soaking in the storybook views of Lake Bled. But the real surprise? How affordable it all was! 
From Postojna Cave to the dramatic Predjama Castle built into a cliff, every stop felt like a hidden gem. 

And, of course, the food was the cherry on top. Here are a few of the local dishes we loved:

🥩 Kranjska klobasa – juicy, smoky Carniolan sausage
🍲 Ričet – hearty barley stew with beans and veggies
🥣 Jota – sour turnip and bean stew
🥟 Štruklji – rolled dumplings with sweet or savory fillings
🍰 Potica – traditional rolled nut cake
🌾 Ajdovi žganci – buckwheat spoonbread
🍰 Bled cream cake – creamy, flaky, and iconic
🍒 Gibanica – rich layered pastry with fruit, poppy seeds, and cheese

Slovenia felt like such an underrated European country, and now, we can’t stop recommending it to family and friends! 💛

Tap to see how to spend 24 hours in Montenegro 🇲🇪 

When we traveled to Croatia last August, we decided to take a day trip to Montenegro and we’re so glad we did. We hopped on a boat early that morning and arrived at Our Lady of the Rocks, a tiny, picture-perfect island off the coast of Perast that instantly set the tone for the day.

Here’s how the rest unfolded:

🥖 Breakfast by the bay in Perast. Peaceful, quiet and straight out of a postcard
⛪️ Explored the old town of Kotor with its winding stone alleyways and medieval charm
🍰 Tried Krempita, Montenegro’s famous custard cake (highly recommend!)
🍴Lunch in Budva, with views of the sparkling Adriatic coast
🌊 Finished the day with a refreshing swim at Beach Greco. The perfect way to cool off! 

From the charm of the old towns to the dramatic coastal views, it felt like we had stumbled upon a hidden gem. One day wasn’t enough, but it was more than enough to fall in love.

Montenegro is one of the best day trips from Croatia - don’t skip it. 😌

Have you ever been to Montenegro, or is it on your list now?

Travel is a part of who we are, but it’s not all that defines us.

Beyond the adventures and faraway places, I (Claire) find joy in the simple, meaningful moments: hosting loved ones, decorating cakes, nurturing our garden, playing piano, and crafting decorations for events and celebrations. ☺️

For us, building a life worth living means creating a home that feels just as fulfilling as the places we explore. ✨ 

Travel feeds our spirit, but the beauty of a happy, grounded life at home is just as precious! 💛 2025-07-17 21:00:52 Travel is a p.. 259 -28% 29 -3%
We’d much rather look back one day and say, “I can’t believe we actually did that” than wonder “what if we had?”

There is no greater moment to live out your dreams than the present. We came to the realization that we have no clue when our lives will come to an end. Turns out, tomorrow isn’t always guaranteed! 

We’ve heard the phrase “I wish I had…” over and over again from a number of people older than us and we’re hoping that one day when we’re older, that phrase won’t be running through our minds. 🫶✨

For us, the best part of traveling isn’t just the trip itself. It’s the planning that comes before. Those late nights and daydreams about the places we’ll go, the sights we’ll see, and the memories we’ll make! That anticipation is what makes travel so exciting. 😍

Sure, the journey is amazing, but honestly, planning feels like half the fun. Who else feels that way?

With our next international adventure coming up, we’re beyond excited to finally explore Norway! A place that’s been on our bucket list for ages. A perfect mix of city exploration and mountain magic.

Wow, time has FLOWN!!! It’s wild to think about how we met 9 years ago during the fall quarter of our freshman year of college, and now, we’ll soon be celebrating our 5-year wedding anniversary. ✨

One of my favorite parts of our job is getting the chance to re-watch who we were as people one year ago, two years ago, three years ago, and so on! 🥰 Our hair changes, our styles shift, our faces and bodies mature, our mindsets and perspectives sway, yet who we are at the core stay the same.
