Let’s Look: Travel Bucket List

-

 Hello!

I’m linking up again this month to join Shay from Mix and Match Mama and Erika from A Little Bit of Everything’s link party for “Let’s Look”. I love that these topics are so fun and just make me happy to brainstorm on each month! 🥰



The topic for this month is our Travel Bucket Lists! I’m really excited about this one as I love the focus on experiences and, while our current season of life is a little closer to home, there are so many wonderful places in the world to see for our “Someday List” as Kendra Adachi refers to it. 🥰

So here’s my current list:

1. Queensland Australia - I am low key obsessed with Australia and the laid back but still productive and down-to-earth culture. Visiting Brisbane, Australia Zoo, and getting some surfing in would be an ultimate bucket list trip!

2. Kenya - I would love to visit some of the places my dad grew up in though most of those are still in active conflict and so Kenya would be a chance to see the area safely. I would love to see the wildlife there and even stay at giraffe manor if the opportunity ever presented itself. It would be amazing to be able to share this with my family and so it’s definitely on the list!

3. Summer in Alaska (Eagle River) - we lived in Alaska for years and so I would love to be able to go back and spend some extended time there during a school break with my family to experience all the hiking, wildlife, and beauty that is abundant in this gorgeous place.

4. National Parks - pretty much any national park is on our list during our current season of life. Hiking, outdoor adventures, and experiencing the differences in climate and landscape all over the US is amazing.

5. Sea Turtle and Sloth Conservation in Costa Rica - Costa Rica has programs for helping conservation by protecting nests and tagging turtles during nesting season. They also have The Sloth Institute that I have been assisting from afar with data review and input from camera feeds. It would be wonderful and the trip of a lifetime to see this in person! 🥰 


We have been so fortunate to be able to visit so many beautiful places and of course I would be happy to return to any of them, but these are the experiences that I hope one day to share with my family.

I hope that you have a fantastic day and I can’t wait to read about everyone else’s Bucket Lists!!! 

💛Jessie

Friday Favorites: February week 3

 Hello! This has been quite the week, but there is so much to be grateful for. It’s going to get a bit deep and frankly I need to not process a lot for a little while and just focus on gratitude so that I can deal with the grief in my own way and time. Thank you to Andrea from  Momfessionals  and Erika from  A Little Bit of Everything  for hosting this sweet link party every Friday! 💛 This has really helped me on my gratitude goal and also on taking pictures of all these wonderful things to remember and love! Here are my favorites from this week (in timeline order because that is how I can process right now): 1. Guerrera documentary  Some of the ladies that I trained with for our respective combat deployments participated in a documentary that came out last Saturday. They did an amazing job and I can speak from experience that this was a very accurate depiction for us. (Most of the ladies interviewing were from CST 5. I trained with them but ended up deplo...

Let’s Look: How we work on our marriage

 Hello, I’m joining the party again this month, a big thank you to Shay from Mix and Match Mama  and Erika from A Little Bit of Everything  for setting this up and inviting us to share as well! 🥰 Grant and I are in a season of life that usually has our two little guys along for the ride. That means that we don’t have regular dinner dates or weekends away, but we find time that works in our schedule and season. 💛 1. Wednesday and Thursday Work Commute We are a one car family as we live in a city where parking isn’t always the easiest and we love the fact that it reduces our carbon impact and has the added bonus of allowing us to spend more time together. Grant takes public transportation to work Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, but on Wednesday and Thursday he works from a different location that doesn’t have an obvious route so I drive him between the kids drop off and heading over to the zoo. This time together is just us, we’re not on our phones, there’s no distractions o...

Let’s Look: Our Wellness Routines

 Hello, I’m linking up again this month to join  Shay from  Mix and Match Mama  and Erika from  A Little Bit of Everything ’s link party for “Let’s Look”. I love that these topics are a glimpse into our normal, everyday life and it’ll be so much fun to look back years from now and remember what we were up to! My wellness routine these days is a lot less singularly focused on sprints or gym time and a lot more of a holistic approach so here we go!  Mind 1. I do a lesson of Duolingo Spanish every evening as part of my quiet time to keep this skill up. I’ve always loved learning languages and even tested in the Army as having a strong aptitude for this, this feels right to me. (I already speak French and my Arabic is still there albeit a little rusty, but if I want to ever do sea turtle conservation work I feel like Spanish might be the way to go. 🙂) 2. I spend time volunteering with the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Getting out is important to me dur...
