“The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
~ Matthew 13:31-32

So the Father put a spin on our story. We knew ou So the Father put a spin on our story. We knew our whole journey was one of relationship. That every meeting was one that was purposeful and one to be invested in. We knew nothing was by mistake but all intentional…”missional” if you will. We also knew in our hearts, that our connection with Mountain Gateway had purpose but we had no idea what the Lord had in mind nor what to expect. We came to Huntsville this time completely surrendered and at peace knowing He is sovereign and would orchestrate our steps if we stay out of the way. We are still making our way to join @mountaingateway although the objective has shifted. We will arrive in Dripping Springs, TX on the 27th to join their staff. We are super excited for all that the Father has for us do and the relationships that are to come. This will no doubt have its challenges but we know that those challenges will be followed with great blessings! We love you all and thank you so much for all your support, prayers, love and believing in us. @leisaleighnelson @scott.silcox @leahfrench87 @aimee_lamar_ #extrordinarylife #adventurelife @o_d_beard "The most tragic mistake you can make on this earth is to underestimate how vulnerable you will feel when you see His face. And the wisest decisions you will make in life will be the ones you make with that final moment in mind." - Francis Chan

I had the opportunity to do a mini photo session with one of the families we have gotten to know in a short amount of time…the beautiful @hedrick.fam . Thank you for allowing me to do this. It was so much fun! #familyphotoshoot #photography #photosession #fulltimerv #fulltimefamilies #miniphotoshoot @alicebrown.co
This was a very special, personalized journal from This was a very special, personalized journal from one sister to another. Her sister loves to sail and loves the Lord. She wanted to write a personal message with verses, in her handwriting and have it forever inscribed in the journal. I was able to have her write out what she wanted said, send me a photo and then inscribe it on the inside of the journal (with my @cricut ) exactly as she wrote it, in her own handwriting. It was one of my favorites! #sisters #cricut #bookbinding #specialproject #sailing #jounrals #journaling #creativejournaling
It is crazy to think we have been on this adventur It is crazy to think we have been on this adventure for almost 7 months now. We have been willingly, obediently and prayerfully just trying to follow the Father in every step we have taken into the unknown. Doing our best to allow him to order our footsteps. There have been great risks and very difficult situations that we knew were all to prepare us for what was next. There have been moments where we have risen to the occasion and some where we have definitely not…all of which we have learned from. We have learned so much and we have done our best to remain humble and teachable. We know we have so much more to learn. We had been praying for open and closed doors (knowing the Lord could bring us anywhere) for quite some time. A door that opened was with Mountain Gateway Missions. For months we have prayed over this decision, and we finally applied right at the deadline. When we received a phone call from @Britthanc0ck , inviting us to come on board with @mountaingateway in January 2022, we knew it was the next chapter to this “extraordinary life” with each other and the Father, that He had to spoken years ago. We will finish up our season here at Orchard Lake in Saluda, NC in November, giving us some time to see family before starting our 11 month journey with Mountain Gateway. We are excited, nervous, scared, confident, encouraged, and at peace with our decision, knowing this is what the Father has for us and there is great purpose to it. .

We did a 500ft decent/accent and are exhausted but feel great…it’s a good exhaustion. Charlie and Liam didn’t complain and took on that mountain like a boss!

Sadly some things don’t go as you might expect them, but I am thankful for God’s covering where truth and righteousness always prevail. This journey to New York has taught us so much. We are so thankful to @susan.dumais.5 and Steve for the short time you were able to teach us and share your wisdom. We have met some precious people and developed some life long relationships. We love you all and thank you for loving us in return! We will see you later New York! We love you and thank you! #thejourneycontinues #extraordinarylife #rvlife #workamping @o_d_beard
Well, we have made it to Interlake Campground in R Well, we have made it to Interlake Campground in Rhinebeck, New York!! We have met the long time, amazing owners who will soon be retiring and hope to adequately fill their shoes. They and their parents have built quite the legacy here over 50 years time, so they will be quite the shoes to fill. We are absolutely honored and humbled to have this amazing opportunity. We have spent the day walking around in awe over the beauty and history of this place and surrounding area. We are right where we need to be. This is going to be a summer for the books (and my journal)! #rvlife #camphostlife #campmanagerslife #rhinebeckny #interlakecampground @interlakervpark

Well the Lord told me a long time ago that Donald Well the Lord told me a long time ago that Donald and I would live an extraordinary life together. Well things just shifted even more to the extraordinary! There have been some big changes! . First, we knew we would be purchasing a new RV sooner than later when we started the remodel of “Sandy” (5th wheel Sandpiper). Well after quite some time looking at different floor plans, we decided last week to move forward with the purchase of a 2021 Keystone Avalanche. After putting our heart and soul into the remodel of Sandy, this was a hard decision but we knew in the coming months, we would need something more geared toward all weather RV life. . Second, after 11 years with the same company, Donald put in his two week notice at the beginning of last week. He and I have accepted positions with an outdoor recreation company, managing different RV parks throughout the U.S. Our first park will be Rhinebeck, New York. SO...we will be rolling out on May 24th, to begin our journey to New York for the summer. We are blown away, super excited, nervous and expectant! We look forward to sharing more of our crazy journey with all of you! #extraordinarylife #rvlife #newrv #rvlifewithkids #rvlifewithdanes

#Repost @alicebrown.co with @make_repost ・・・ #Repost @alicebrown.co with @make_repost ・・・ How does nature inspire design? Makers and designers are notorious for having a fast pace life…meeting deadlines and such. Although, if you move slow enough, you will there is a great source of inspiration for design in the natural world. . Nature has inspired solutions to human problems more often than the manufactured world. This is called “BIOMIMICRY.” Bi-o-mim-ic-ry is the examination of nature, its models, systems, processes, and elements to emulate or take inspiration from in order to solve human problems. Greek word: Bio - life Mimesis - to imitate . With kids, I think this comes more naturally than adults. It also, does not necessarily start with a problem, but curiosity and wonder of the natural world around them. This is when experimentation turns to design through nature…biomemimicry! . Nature has this way of disrupting what is normal…yet it can most definitely be in a positive way. It tends to pull us out of our own ideas, interests and systems, into the humble state of realizing there was already a Creator to our remedy. We are merely co-creators. . When we are brought into nature, we begin to notice how the world works outside of ourselves, and it tends to inspire creative solutions to the things we face. 6. #Creator #cocreators #curiosity #inspiration #getoutside #biomemicry #observe #imagine #developempathy #developcompassion
The Amazing Thing My Kids Now Do. There is a NOT m The Amazing Thing My Kids Now Do. There is a NOT moment in choosing the fulltime RV life that I have regretted it. It has amazed me...all the things my kids have started doing and experiencing! Fear and anxiety don’t hold them back! There is no learn like hands on learning! To my kids decided to continue their science up at the ponds without me. When I went to check on them, this is what I found them doing. NOT.ONE.REGRET. #socool #outdoorkids #rvlife #outdoorlearning #mud #frogs #salamanders #fish #happylife
So, a number of you have asked me questions about So, a number of you have asked me questions about adjusting to our new lifestyle. Some of which were in the area of creativity. For instance…Am I still making journals? Am I still creating beyond remodeling the RV? Am I am still making things? What does my mobile studio look like? The answer is yes, I am still making journals! I am still being creative outside the remodel of the RV, even though that has been the main way in the recent past. I spend a great deal of time outside, so yes that takes away from being at inside creating things, although I am exploring different ways to incorporate my creativity outside. This is something I have always done and there are so many! One of which is through my children and nurturing their creativity. It only continues to inspire me to be creative! I think we go through seasonal shifts in our creativity and it is best to just go with the flow of those shifts. Sometimes that is hard, just like any other changes or shifts are. Yet, there is freedom in just embracing and enjoying them, with no concern of what it looks like to anyone else. I am sure over time you will see me post how creatively things have shifted beyond what I am showing you now. I love to share that with all of you. In the meantime, here is a glance of all the nooks and crannies of my “mobile studio,” as it is a bit spread out (throughout the RV). I am sure that will change over time as well. For now I work on the picnic table, our kitchen table, the floor or sometimes even the ground. Whatever works! And yes I have everything from #jewelrymakingsupplies , #bookbinding to #leatherworking in that bin. That is just part of the #rvlife …just going with the flow. Letting go! It is really nice to sit outside and be creative. Something very organic and natural about it! ;) I look forward to sharing more of our crazy, perfectly imperfect and extraordinary life with all of you! In the meantime, what does your studio look like? How are some ways your creativity has shifted recently? #rvlife #rvremodel #rvcreatvity #creativity #creatives #justgowithit #letgo #seasonalshifts #ilovervlife #mobilestudio #rvstudio
