The sky is a smooth, pearly grey on the morning of August 27th when we climb out of our rental car in Ireland. We stand in a small parking lot jutting off what I assume is someone’s house. Only one other car sits parked in the space. Green grass sprawls in all directions, littered only…
I always love it when a friend points someone my way because they make a good interview candidate. My long-time friend and In-between contributor, Madison, told me she’d met someone she knew had some great stories to tell. She then introduced us over email. I’m in awe that technology provides us with ways to meet…
I didn’t even discuss my new labels for the types of blogs being posted; I just kinda started doing it. “In-between the mountains” is for posts that talk about a general place or town when it’s, well, in-between the mountains. City experiences and urban adventures are classified as “in-between the city the streets.” Backpacking, hiking,…
We absolutely love this mountain town. We ended our trip last fall by staying a couple days here, but we wanted to return and spend more time exploring the area. Salida has so much character and so much beauty that we could spend weeks hanging out there. Actually, we wouldn’t mind living there and have…
What. A. Month. I need a second to catch my breath before we get underway with the second half of June! Just to recap, a few months ago we quit our day jobs to build our dream jobs. We picked up our lives and moved back to Arkansas. We left a safe, comfortable career in…

It’s been about a month since we left our job, drove away from Tulsa, and began working for ourselves. Technically it’s not really self-employment since Jackson is working with his dad and I work, but don’t get paid — yet! We made a really bold decision to leave our jobs for a variety of reasons,…
Over the past few years I’ve started to hold a lot more appreciation for my home state. I grew up in the historic town of Hot Springs, Arkansas, just a few miles from downtown. This city, located in the gentle rolling hills of the Ouachita Mountains, is known for its natural thermal waters and for…
“We like to be outside, we like to travel, we like to run, and we like to make sure our dog gets to do it all with us.” Whenever possible, we like to take a pet-friendly adventure. Here, I’d like to talk about WHY we like to include Kona and HOW we make pet-friendly adventure…
