Moving Tips for those that Move Frequently

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT Furniture Rental for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. If you ask my kids, they’ll tell you we moved six times in three years. The truth is, we didn’t move at all, but we did travel frequently with my husband’s job. And when…

  • "I think one of the first things to go as people's lives start to go down is their dreams. Dreams should be the last thing to go - dreams are the things you go down with. If you're left clinging to a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean, I'd put on it the word dreams." ~ Kevin Costner ______________________________ Have you let go of your dreams? Or are you chasing them? I spent a lot of time thinking during my two week #vancamping trip. Thinking about my purpose in life. My dreams. Things that hold me back from reaching those dreams and fulfilling that purpose. As I walked along the beach, I thought of the little things that distract me from the big picture and keep me drifting, pulling me off course. I don't have all the answers but I did walk away knowing that I need to put God first and not keeping him in the backseat. I walked away inspired, more committed to get back on track, to get things done, stay focused and kick fear to the curb. I'm ready to live that Purpose and chase those dreams!

  • We stopped at the @pearlfryartopiarygarden on the last day of our van camping trip. I had hoped to meander the grounds with my husband but we got into a fight just as we pulled up so he wouldn't go with me. His loss. I wouldn't have missed the opportunity to explore. Walking along the grounds helped me calm down a bit so by the time I was back to the van, I was excited to share with my husband what he had missed. 😂😃 _____________________ Please tell me we're not the only ones to get on each other's nerves when road tripping. ______________________ #discoversc #pearlfryar #topiary #mastergardener #travelstoked #traveltagged #insearchofquirk #ipulledoverforthis #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #southcarolina #topiarygarden #backroads #roadtrip #tbin #travelinspiredliving #travelusa #instatravel #picoftheday #travel #landscapephotography #publicart #roadtrippers #atlasobscura #roadtripvibes #exploreusa #explore
  • Can I let you in on a little secret? My husband and I recently visited Key West and I didn't love it. But what I did enjoy was driving along the Overseas Highway and pulling off on the side of the road when it was permitted to photograph the pelicans, iguanas and beautiful turquoise water. I also enjoyed hanging out and relaxing in the @fl.stateparks along the way. Key West may not have been our cup of tea but there were plenty of other spots to explore and we'd love to return when some of the state park campgrounds reopen so we can explore more. _______________________ Have you been to the Florida Keys?

  • While browsing the internet for things to do near Jekyll Island, I ran across an article about tree spirits on St. Simons Island. Instantly intrigued I convinced my husband that we must stop to check them out. _______________________ Artist Keith Jennings carved about 20 faces into the trees of the island in the 1980's and while many are on private property, there are about 7-8 that can be seen around the island. ________________________ Local legend says that the faces on the trees immortalize local men who died in shipwrecks in shops built from the oak trees on St. Simons. ________________________ To locate the trees, stop at the @GoldenIsles Visitor Center for a tree map which will make them easier to find them. _________________________ Have you seen the tree spirits of St. Simons Island? __________________________ #roadtrip #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #exploreusa #exploregeorgia #georgia #goldenisles #stsimonsisland #travelmoments #traveltagged #picoftheday #travelphotography #travelphotooftheday #instago #instatravels #travelusa #travelgram #vanlife #vancamping #roadtrippers #roadtripfun #atlasobscura #publicart #insearchofquirk #ipulledoverforthis
  • I'm hooked on van camping. ❤ My husband and I may have just returned from our trip through the south but we're already planning our next trip. I can't help myself! How soon after a trip do you start planning (or dreaming of) your next one? 🚙🚦⛽ ______________________________ #vancamping #roadtrip #travelusa #traveltagged #travelwriter #travelgram #camping #vancampingadventure #travelinspiredliving #travelmoments #tbin #instago #instatravels #picoftheday #travelphotography #jekyllisland #exploregeorgia #campground
  • All good things must come to an end...for now. This is our last day of van camping on our first van camping trip in the @dodgeofficial Promaster 2500. There are a couple things I've learned. __________________________ 1. Van camping in the Promaster is so much easier then camping in my minivan. 2. My husband gets really crabby if he is hungry or tired. 3. We both become unbearable when we've been cooped up in the van for too long of a time. Which leads us to this photo. _________________________ When we road tripped with our kids, we always found state or national parks where we could stretch our legs and get some space. I thought it was needed to for them- not us. Turns out that the hubs and I need that outdoor space for our sanity as much as the kids did. 🌿🌳 ____________________________ Today, my husband and I drove quite a few miles. We were getting tired and we weren't being as nice as we could have been. So we stopped to walk on the trails at Lee State Park in South Carolina. It's amazing how much a little bit of time in nature can improve one's mood. An hour later we were back on the road with our good moods restored. 🍃 __________________________ What way(s) do you keep the peace when you road trip with others? __________________________ #scstateparks #southcarolina #discoversc #roadtrip #exploremore #optoutside #vancamping #travelinspiredliving #tbin #travelphotooftheday #picoftheday #traveltagged #travelblogger #travel #travelusa #travelmoments #explore #instatravel #instapic #naturetherapy
  • Some go to @discoverdaytonabeach for the Daytona 500, I pulled off the interstate not to watch a race, but to see the larger than life Jantzen Girl. ______________________ The Jantzen Girl is one of six created for Jantzen in the late 1950's and one of four that remain today. This particular diver was suspended above Stamie’s Smart Beach Wear shop from 1965 until the shop closed in 2017. Jantzen took possession of the mannequin upon its closure to protect it. _______________________ The public was not ready to see the icon go and after a public outcry, Perry Ellis International, who now owns Jantzen, agreed to return the refurbished diver girl to Daytona. _______________________ The diver girl is now on view at One Daytona’s Victory Circle along with informational signage. _______________________ What type of stops do you pull over for when you road trip? _______________________ #travelmoments #traveltagged #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #ipulledoverforthis #insearchofquirk #travelinspiredliving #travel #roadtrip #roadtrippers #atlasobscura #roadtripvibes #exploreusa #visitfl #daytonabeach #picoftheday #travelphotography #travelblogger #tbin #florida #roamflorida #instago
  • So much beauty in something that is dead. _____________________ Driftwood Beach is one of the coolest places I've been on this #vancamping trip and probably ranks up there with all time favorite places. _____________________ After driving through rain most of the day, the clouds began to subside as we entered Georgia, allowing us plenty of time to spend walking along the beach- me taking photos and my husband hunting for glass floats. _______________________ I can't wait to explore more tomorrow. Have you been to Jekyll Island? What do you suggest? ________________________ #vancamping #roadtrip #jekyllisland #exploregeorgia #driftwoodbeach #beachvacation #exploreusa #exploremore #traveltagged #travelphotooftheday #landscapephotography #picoftheday #travelinspo #instatravel #instapic #explore #vanlife #beach #travelinspiredliving #roadtripvibes #tbin #travel #travelwriter #travelblogger #travelgram #travelusa #travellust #travelforlife #wheretofindme #natgeo
