Fall on the Farm
Crow Farm feels like ours now which is a good comfortable feeling. Each season thus far here on the farm is new to us. It brings surprises, projects and new joys.

Adjusting to our farm during the apocalypse
What is happening to this world? There are so many crazy things happening one after another! Fires, riots, pandemic… Before I go on a rant about that I wanted to talk about how much of an amazing time we’ve been having at Crow Farm.
Continue reading…Exploring Veneta area
The first couple weeks we basically didn’t leave Crow Farm besides running furniture or food errands. There was just SO much to do to move in and get settled. It didn’t help that there was a pandemic going on. This was our first weekend as just our family so we took a day to explore some of the wineries around the area. After all, we can’t recommend places to our Airbnb guests if we have never actually been. We also crammed in a trip to a local “beach” to give the girls a quick dip in the water and grill up some dinner. That wasn’t quite how that plan turned out.
Continue reading…Birthday weekend
Our sweet neighbor told us about a lovely little outdoor, physically distanced music venue. Since it was our little one’s 5th birthday the weekend of the concert and we had our sweet friends over to celebrate, timing seemed perfect!
Continue reading…We own a farm now!
So, a LOT has changed since last time I wrote a blog post! The short of it is, we scratched the lingering itch of moving to the country and buying a house with some land. We took a leap of faith, a plunge, a COVID escape, whatever you want to call it we went for it! We have been at our new home for about a month now and are loving it!!
Continue reading…Hoyt Arboretum Pandemic Bear Hike
As so many others are feeling during the pandemic, we were needing some outdoor time to uplift our spirits. Before the stay at home order was in place for Oregon (March 21st), our family decided to go on a hike at our local arboretum where there are many trails many of which are wide.
Continue reading…Coming home!
Each year we have traveled, the last week or so was tricky because we were SO close to home and wanted to just scoot back. We loved our trip (most of the time!) but were looking forward to being back in our home, having a bit more space, having our things, a real shower and toilet and seeing friends again!
Continue reading…Preparing for home: making goals
When planning for our arrival home we wanted to be sure this was a transition in life we took advantage of. Transitions offer great opportunities for change. We set some goals for us to decrease our trash waste and get us all plugged in with social activities.
Continue reading…Eugene, OR
It was the end of February and we only had a few stops left before we made it back home to Portland after 6 months on the road. From Lake Shasta in Northern California we were approximately 400 miles from home and had just 2 more stops: Valley of the Rogue State Park, near Grants Pass, OR and Eugene, OR to visit friends.
Continue reading…Lake Shasta Caverns & Bailey Cove State Park
We headed to Bailey Cove State Park not knowing if we would find camp spots open or not. The boating area attached to the camping was busy but lucky for us the campground was almost empty. We chose this campground because it was right near a cave tour we wanted to take part in.
