Our Life On Purpose

We have 940 Saturdays until our kids graduate from high school and go on to college. That's 18 summers to make the most of our time with them.

Every year, we make resolutions to be intentional. Eat less, exercise more, get up earlier etc. We want to live our life on purpose, be intentional about parenting and being together and make family our favorite thing.

Our Life

We love family time, and though sometimes that means we have more mess than we'd like, we want to share our journey with you. Follow along as we share our favorite experiments and experiences as we try to make every moment count.

Though the days are long, the years are short.

The next 4 pictures (swipe to see them all) show what a crazy vast and amazing landscape Utah has to offer. Which is why it is our favorite place so far. • All of these pictures where taken on our way to/ or in @capitolreefnps. The landscape changed so drastically over the miles we drove that we were all overwhelmed by it. • Not to mention, being we felt so at home finally seeing some trees and greenery lining the roads (picture #2). •

“Do what you can right where you are with what you have.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt. • I remember as we were trying to get our life in order to take off on our grand adventure, how DAUNTING it all felt. It never seemed like we would get there. • But every day, we did what we could to get us one step closer to where we wanted to be. And now we are enjoying the fruit of what we worked so hard for! • So what’s your dream? Goal? Desire? What could you do right now, where you are, with what you have? Small steps today can lead to big changes tomorrow! So don’t wait! Get started today!

You guys, we are about to head back up the East Coast for the first time in 6 months and all I can think about is, what an amazing ride this all has been! And we are only just beginning! • So much has happened in the last 6 months! I truly have been so caught up in the awesomeness of it all, that I haven’t been able to post all of the MANY pictures of the AMAZING places we have been. • Let’s see if I can change that and get you guys up to speed, shall we? • So going back to the last place we left off, Utah. Specially, @canyonlandsnps . Such a beautiful place. And the sunsets are phenomenal! •

In today's video, we're bringing you a new segment we're calling “Hinson High Five!”. In these videos, we'll share 5 things we have learned or find valuable.

We have a lot of things planned for this series and can't wait to share them with you!

Oh yeah, and our 5 month update is coming…you wouldn't believe how hard it's been to sit down and record that video! Stay tuned, I promise it's coming soon!

It’s the little moments that are passing so quickly. The ones I am trying with all of my might to lock away in my memory forever and not be too distracted to miss. • I’m grateful for the way this little man loves with all of his heart, just like his daddy. And the way he loves his Mama something fierce too. • Each day that passes is a day of new changes and stages, but I’m glad that he’s still little enough to snuggle with me after a long hard nap️. • What are the little moments that you are cherishing right now? •

The keys folks. They are beautiful. Really really beautiful. We enjoyed the sunsets and sunrises while visiting Bahia Honda and Sunshine Key Rv Resort. So incredibly blessed to see what we’ve seen this year.

Such an insanely good breakfast this morning before we leave the Keys. • If you come down to the Keys, you should totally stop in at on Summerland Key. All homemade and delicious! •

We also met some great people when we were in Santa Rosa Beach in January! Debbie and John were so sweet and hospitable! Hope we get to see each other on the road again some day! •
