Traveling Trouble Maker

This is how it all started…

As a married mother of three grown children and two bonus children, my family dynamic is rich with experiences that speak to the ebb and flow of parenting and personal growth. Along with my role as a mother, I have the joy to be called MIMI by my two grandchildren, with the exciting anticipation of a third joining our loving family soon.

My life’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Having navigated through the complexities of marriage and survived the turbulence of divorce, I’ve gained a profound understanding of the resilience required to maintain personal well-being and foster healthy relationships.

Professionally, I’ve shouldered the responsibilities of a nursing career, which imbued me with compassion and a deep appreciation for human vulnerability and the tenacity of the human spirit. Similarly, my time in the trucking industry has taught me the values of independence, patience, and the beauty of the open road. These diverse experiences, from donning scrubs to being behind the wheel of a big rig, have allowed me to gain a variety of skills and insights.

My passions extend into nurturing our two fur babies, who bring unconditional love and endless joy into our home. They continually remind us of the simple pleasures in life and the importance of companionship.

The tapestry of my life, woven with threads of caregiving, steering through life’s highways, and fostering a nurturing home environment, positions me as a wellspring of guidance on matters concerning parenting, grandparenting, the facets of marriage, the trials of divorce, the demands of nursing, and the freedom of trucking along with the participating in animal rescue. In sharing my story, I hope to connect with others who may find solace, inspiration, or camaraderie in the shared human experience.

Welcome to my blog – a vibrant tapestry of adventures and life lessons shared with the one I cherish most. Each day unfurls a new chapter, be it through the shared tasks of our daily existence or the thrill of uncovering new landscapes while on the road. The essence of being in constant company with your soulmate, all day, every day, is an exhilarating journey filled with hearty laughter, silent understanding, and the shared spectrum of emotions that only deep connection can bring.

Our travels across the diverse and picturesque states have led us to a myriad of destinations, from the quaint and quiet to the bustling energy of urban landscapes. The variety of our stops is as eclectic as it is inspiring, which ignited the spark to bring this blog to life. I’m enthusiastic about sharing my experiences, determined to bring you frequent posts and candid reviews of all the places we’ve had the pleasure (or sometimes, the challenge) of visiting throughout our journeys.

But this blog reaches beyond just travel tales; downtime at home or leisurely weekends are the perfect opportunities to extend my repertoire of offerings. Driven by a passion to assist others, I am gearing up to launch paid services. Whether you’re diving into the logistics industry and need guidance on starting a trucking business or navigating the intricate world of the FMCSA, I’m here to lend a hand. Need assistance with paperwork, filing IFTA forms, or seeking general life advice? I aspire to be a beacon of friendship and wisdom.

My vision for this blog is threefold: to provide unvarnished reviews of my daily discoveries, to extend a helping hand in a world that can sometimes seem indifferent, and, perhaps most importantly, to remind you that you’re never alone. This space is intended to be your haven of information and solace, a place where community and support congregate.

Feel free to reach out, whether through email or in the comments – I am committed to responding as promptly as my schedule permits. Let’s embark on this journey together with joy and openness. Welcome aboard.
