Come check out our most recent remodel! I've posted lots of photos on my personal blog, Walk Slowly, Live Wildly.

NOTE: The fifth wheel and truck have been sold!

With Baby Janssen #3 on the way, we are selling the fifth wheel and moving into a house! If you've been looking for a rig to full-time in or even just for a weekend getaway home...this is sure to please. We love the layout of this fifth wheel...and believe me, we've seen a lot of them! It's so open and spacious...everyone who walks in comments that it's more like a small apartment. 

Perfect for a family or a couple. We are offering the fifth wheel alone, or as a complete package to include the truck and hitch. Available for local pick up in Boulder, CO.

Fifth Wheel: $34,000

Fifth Wheel + 2004 Dodge Ram Extended Cab: $55,000
*Matt can convert the truck to run on straight veggie oil for an additional fee. Price depends on complexity of system (ranges from $4,000-$6,000).

I will not be blogging regularly here anymore...but I will stop in here once in awhile if I run across some photos I haven't posted yet. We are still working on our eCourse about nomadic living, and I will post here when it launches.

If you want to continue to read about our daily life, follow my blog at Walk Slowly. Thank you so much for reading faithfully...we love you all!

There was a lot of hooping, a lot of margaritas, a lot of crazy. We shared meals, stories of the road, and laughter.

We experienced the Northern California Renaissance Faire (and the beautiful people who work there), had a mama day in Santa Cruz, and Dan survived an appendix removal! Our friends Kev and Ang spent several days with us all as well...and if you know Kev and Ang, you KNOW that fun just follows them around. :)

See the entire album of sunshine here.

Todd arrived and we watched him inflate the kayaks...which took no time at all. He and Matt walked up the trail to drop in, and they had a great first run. They came back and invited Bella to join them...and being the adventure-seeker that she is, she was thrilled!

I drove the truck and raced them down to the the bridge where they were getting out...waving at them as they floated by. :)

Hey! Look up here!

Zoik is a fabulous Colorado-based company...and we highly recommend their inflatables. Especially for those of you who are on the road, but still want to bring some "toys" with you. They even have a paddleboard that is so small and light, it fits in the overhead compartment in a plane! There is a ZOIK boat for everyone - kayakers, rafters, families, fisherman, and anyone looking for a little adventure.

If you've been looking for something like this...today is your lucky day :) Zoik has an AWESOME Cyber Monday sale happening...check it out:

Check out Zoik on Facebook and Twitter as well!

When we completed the Live Lightly Tour, we sold our beloved RV to the Harrison Family...and when they were done traveling, they sold it to the Malson family. And look how the Malsons have breathed NEW LIFE into our old home sweet home! We're so excited to see them follow their dreams...

Clint & Angela (plus kiddos!) will be heading out on the "Eco Womb Tour"...and doing it all on veggie oil of course. Check out their sweet site and store. I am LOVING their "Love, Peace, and Veggie Grease" t-shirts! Enter their giveaway to win one!

Clint is the also the designer for this site (Happy Janssens) and was fabulous to work with...so if you're looking for a web designer, he's your man! :)

Congratulations Eco Womb Tour!! Have an amazing journey...we hope to meet up with you down the road!

The vibe here is very laid back...lots of old hippies who never left, health conscious folk, artists, and dreamers. Morro Bay draws a fair share of tourists as well, so things are always hoppin' on the weekend. We love that Morro Bay is quite small (think 4 way stops downtown instead of stoplights)...but we've enjoyed the proximity to San Luis Obispo for when we want to go to Trader Joe's or Costco. We've also found a fabulous church there as well. Bella wants to move here because she loves the children's ministry so much!

Here are some photos from our stay:

Monica is a soul sister...and I cherish every moment. Whenever we are together, I want to kidnap her and take her with me on the road! We've been saying goodbye long enough to where I don't get too sappy about it...but this one was hard.

Bella spent every waking moment with Annabella...running to and fro around the camp. They also spent time sewing and Bella was so thrilled. We are now spending a lot of time learning about fashion design :)

We enjoyed exploring the lush, green forest.

Love this family...someday we'll be back :)

A few more photos here.

We experienced our first Stumptown coffee.

And I have to say it was total bliss. I now understand all the hype. :)

We spent time with some of our favorite friends at the Saturday market and around town. Read more about our adventures here.
You can't stop in Portland without checking out Voo Doo Doughnut. Or so we were told :) This here is the vegan "Grape Ape". It was rather tasty.

This thrift store rocks. Wish we had more time to check out all the rest!

One of our favorite things in Portland...the food carts!! Oh the food carts. This one is called Ruby Dragon and they had vegan Thai food...and raw kale salad...and other such wonderful things. Don't you love those birdie flags? I know. Every one of the carts was so adorable. I wanted to live in them.Want to read more? Here are a couple of links to check out: Portland Magazine and Sunset
We headed to Cannon Beach and enjoyed a day without rain...exploring the ocean and also taking a little day trip down to Manzanita. We stopped at several little shops, but my favorite was Unfurl.
So many amazing textures, colors, clothes, shoes, scarves, yummy.

I hooped on the beach...and tried not to blow away.

Sweet family time.

Laura's friend Sarah came to visit as well. Sarah lived in Minneapolis, but recently moved to Oregon for her work. She's such a sweetheart and it was great to connect again.

It was hard to say goodbye! We loved our time in Portland and loved seeing Laura. What a blessing. Can't wait to go back again someday.
