On being an IIegal Immigrant
Last week we made our visa run to Texas and came back with a loaded vehicle, it's crazy how many things break down and parts are only available in the US. So we took that opportunity. However, we had no idea how quickly we'd be headed back to the US! Yesterday I went...
Permanent Residency or Not?

USB Charging Cords and Devices for Traveling Kids
We live on the road. We used to live in rentals with flights between. One thing that is common between the two lifestyles is that we have 4 kids who are children of the technological age. We used to fight screen time but then I realized they do not get as much...
