Alice Springs, Australia
We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary by hiking up the famous, local peak; Mount Gillen! Jon and I hadn’t gotten up to the summit yet, because it’s a hike that we really couldn’t bring Emmylou along for (we tried last year and only made it […]
Here’s what we usually pack for trips! This list is specific to babies under 1, but can totally help when packing for toddlers, as well! Many of the items on this list are linked but you can also find most of the mentioned items in […]
Believe it or not, day time can be MORE stressful than night when traveling with a baby. Changes in schedule, routine and stimulation can throw everyone for a loop. Here’s how we’ve managed touring around while traveling with a baby: When going out for the […]

With the one-year anniversary of our move Down Under, Jon and I have been reminiscing about “one year ago” memories almost daily (with the help of Amazon photo app reminders). It’s crazy what can change in a year. 365 short days and here we are; […]
I honestly can’t believe I am already posting this…the past year has FLOWN by! One year into our adventure in Alice Springs, we are feeling even more grateful for this experience. There have been highs and lows, as you can imagine, but we are SO […]
Happy 4th of July!! The Wordens love Independence Day; we’re a very patriotic family. This holiday seemed especially strange in Australia because it’s an American holiday (the Aussies don’t celebrate it, unlike Christmas and Easter). Because if this, it felt like a “business as usual” […]
