Would you spend $12 for all of this produce❤?! Keep your eye open for produce on wheels🚎, or the like on city sites or Facebook groups in the town you are visiting, 🛣and you can def find a way to save some money while on the road🚎

We have been going on family bike🚵‍♀️ rides this last week, which we started getting into when we were on the Pacific Ocean and in the Redwoods🏞. 🏜From there to the desert we have either hiked, walked, or biked a few different trails, creeks, water sheds, and roads together. 🤣We don't always look good as a unit....one kid may be way ahead, the other taking a break, one parent stays back to be the rear security...someone falls down a hill🌄, into a cactus🌵, whatever lol. I am glad they are older and can experience the trails on their own, see the sights, and remember the amazing views.
Since traveling 🚎 we have gotten to hang with these guys and talk to them about so much. I'm interested to see what all of this family bonding does for their futures❤
I love these guys👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

One of the many reasons I ❤ this big metal bus. Magnets work on everything! Finally wasnt too cold to enjoy a movie night outside! We watched Night School while 🦀 finished up some pulled pork on the charcoal grill! Ohmagerd!🚎 Loving our bus life🥰

Messing around with the snap chat filters waiting on dinner!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤ #snapchatfilter

What makes where you live a place to call home? 🏠
Is it where all of your family lives? 💑Is it where you grew up? Is it a sign you always hang at whatever house you move into? Is it your plants?
What makes your place your home?
.
.
A army veteran friend of ours made us this beautiful sign 🤩and another friend, a marine, gave us this planter😍 and I display them both whenever we see stopped in a place for a bit. I used to have certain things I would hang up when Crab was in the military, so I knew no matter where we were, we were home🏠. After the fire, we lost all of those "things" but gained a new understanding of home. 🚎We have parked in plenty of spots, but what makes Chitty Bang a home are the people and animals that fill up our 280 sqft. ❤ not the stuff we fill her with or where our location actually is. Just LOVE🥰

Spent some time trompsin' around Bisbee one night we shared with our friends. Dinner was a bust but the new comedy club there, CHUCKLEHEADS was a fun gig started by Bisbee's own Doug Stanhope. Found out Tuesdays is their open mic night. Maybe I can get Crab to get up there sometime😁 what do yall think?

Family. It has been amazing sharing our journey with our friends we have met on the road, but more importantly with the family we had before bus life was our Jam🚎. These 2 are our extended family❤, Elyse and PJ. One of Crab's 🦀 Combat Buddies with his long time lady❤ who last saw us when Chitty Bang was just gutted and were visiting us the day we showed our regular house to it's new owners. So needless to say, it was exciting to show them the after product in person and share our road stories😁
Even though we don't full time travel 🚎as much as we did the first year, we got into this journey for multiple reasons but primarily, finding a new place to call home. It was awesome showing them this cool little town⛰ and reminded us to even take a break and enjoy the company and effects of familiarity that old friends can have on you. 🥰

We have definitely fell in love with having a slower style of life, but it was even more special having them here to share it with! Miss yall already!❤

See the stages of our tiny house🚎 becoming a home❤. Little by little. Step by Step. We slowly created a space for us and our 2 kids to share, explore, and love for a short time of our lives.👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 It took a year a half, starting from total tin can and scratch. Neither of us had ever built anything before…other than some 🐓chicken coops and gardening setups🌾..a home though? Totally outside of our comfort zone. But we were literally ALL IN. We refused to fail. 💪

This experience really showed us that we can do anything if we want it bad enough👩‍🔧👨‍🔧. Even if a lot of days we argued about how to do something or what it should look like🤬. The first pic shows our first mistake 🤔we ended up removing, the side wall panels. We decided instead to frame 2x4s horizontally down the walls so we had space for plumbing and electrical to run easily and a place to anchor walls and cabinets and such.🥳 Lots of passion in this tiny house. And even more LOVE!🥰😍

Got to go out and do some spelunking with our friends visiting us at the bus this week at Coronado Caves. The darkness was consuming! But the adventures we had in there are so memorable! What a great time! You can see how dusty it was😷😁❤ the first pic I think is funny because it looks like an Olan Mills re-creation 🤣 floating heads in the family photo anyone?

I found this Graffiti Art on an abandoned road and thought,🤩 “What a beautiful mess?” And then I thought of a quote I heard a while ago and how true it was pertaining to the time in my life that I was in at the moment.🤯 I think the messy is where we are made. The disaster is what molds us into the amazing and unique people we all are. We all have had tragedies and messes and things we are embarrassed by. But guess what? So does everyone else, sometimes it just happens at different times. 😁The biggest lesson is appreciating that everyone has their own journeys and we can’t all agree on everything. But we can be human. We can show grace.❤ Appreciation. We can be Honest. We can be Humans😁. Because after all, we are all just a big balls of energy, color, and beautiful messes.😍

Flashback 2016, we built our bed, which is really the biggest part of any master bedroom. Ours however was most of the bedroom, minus the shelves we added later to act as our closet. We also started off building the bed as a loft so it would fit the large water tanks we bought. After a year of traveling though, we discovered we didn't really need all of those water tanks and downgraded from 2-100 gallon tanks to 1 42 gallon tank and lowered the bed. This made Sexy Time less cramped too LOL!

This frame fits our Queen Mattress and at the end of this day, we were so happy to finally have a place to sit in the bus other than the dog house or the floor LOL. When you appreciate those little things, you really understand and appreciate the smallest things you do in your build. There is a connection to all of it. Although I have a beautiful king bed set sitting in storage in Texas, this bed will by far be the most special we have ever shared!

Like I have said in previous posts, we never would have gotten Chitty Bang👸 to her beauty if not for some amazing mentors❤ we could ask how to do something. We never wanted them to do all of the work, 👨‍🔧but they would do some and then we would take over. This was mostly on the things we really needed advice on. Things like welding to the 💥Chassis, proper support for the deck and how to attach it,💣 electricity, plumbing, and wiring.
When it came to welding, we bought a HOBART 250MVP and built a welding cart as practice, then went to town on fabricating a “garage” 🚎on the bus that would not only be a deck, a place to hold our tools in a self fabricated tool box, a cage to hold propane tanks, but it also grew to have a folding deck/ramp to close up the rear end for additional space and safety! 😁We may have gotten carried away lol! Either way, welding is something we totally love to do and thanks to patient, amazing friends we now have that skill in our belt. 🤯Amazing what you learn out of your comfort zone! Thanks Robbie and Drew. Yall are the best!❤ @mcmasters_saldana_actual
