It has now been three weeks since we arrived home. Our six week InstaLumTrip is now just a fading memory. We have seen so much of God’s beautiful creation and sometimes we still feel nomadic… wanting to roam some more. One of the most asked questions about our trip is what was our favourite part. … Read More
Last night we received an urgent email to pray for our dear friend who was rushed to emergency with what looked like a stroke. As his wife and sister talked to the doctors, they were told they can try to save his life but that the hemorrhaging in his brain was severe and if they … Read More
One thing I missed most while away on our Instalum trip was my kitchen. Although, I feel like I had everything I needed in my campsite kitchen, I found cooking with bugs flying about and wind blowing very distracting!

This trip was largely influenced by the photos we saw on IG and we wanted to see many of these places for ourselves but it was also an opportunity to meet … Read More
We took the kids to Disneyland a couple of years ago when the princess was four and the boy had just turned three. We bought six day passes and Dude thought I was insane. He often forgets that with kids we’re operating at a slower pace. I also wanted the flexibility of napping back at … Read More
After four consecutive days of zipping through San Diego Zoo, Sea World and Disneyland, we are exhausted. Even the kids are tired and there were no complaints when we decided to take a day off before hitting one last Disney park tomorrow. So we’re chillin’ today, just like this giant sleeping panda… up in a … Read More
