Our lives are the same way, and you articulate it so beautifully.
It is true; while we go on exciting adventures, our day to day lives are pretty tame. My kids don’t do anything when we are home, heck, I hardly take them to the store with me!
BUT they have seen some amazing things in our travels! I even found out I was pregnant with my first the day before I went on a trip to Ankor Wat in Cambodia. Now if that isn’t starting out a life of nomadic adventure I don’t know what is!

I am so happy for you. This post speaks to me deeply. We are moving this summer. I don’t feel like it, but it’s for the better. We plan on making this move semi-permanent. I’m trying to take a breather as well but a little traveling wouldn’t hurt ;-).

I am curious how your summer without any plans goes. I think it will be fine. your children look very sweet and cooperative. You might want to think about getting at least one unlimited pass to somewhere fun like a waterpark, science museum, zoo or amusement park. You could go once or twice a week after they get their reading and chores done.

Shoot, I DON’T have a crazy and adventurous life and I still try to stay away from too many activities. True, we did a week of day camp and soccer this spring, but I need a break now. Soccer in the fall? Not in my agenda. Free nights to just BE and breathe and see what happens? Sounds good.

I can’t believe I found your blog! I didn’t know there were other “crazy people” out there with kids who do what we do!

My kids are little (3&4) and we just started on what we call “Permanent Vacation” last fall. We spent a couple months at the beach, six months in Orlando, another month at the beach and are now preparing to go out west. It has been so fun and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Still, I do get a little mommy guilt at times. Are they missing out by not being in preschool or doing soccer? I don’t know! I do know they get their mom and dad with them more than most kids and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

Thanks for your wonderful blog!

Aw. Funny, we had big plans to move this year (though not out of the city) as well and when time came up we were caught somewhat off guard. I can relate to a lot of what you’re saying ( the house for example), but I’m glad you’re staying and that I’ll have more time to get to know you better : )

Sometimes it’s good to take a breather. And it’s not like you’re exactly standing still!

Also, totally irrelevant but your kids are so gorgeous.

Enjoying family is so important. I am a true believe that family isnt in a house it is in the quality and quantity of memories that are made. We use to have kids come in and out of our house with foster care and nothing would be more settling as having breakfast the morning after one left and enjoying each other and our family the way God designed it.
