    Happy Birthday Next Stop Adventure: 2 Years!

I also wanted to document our weekend trips we […]

    Wildflower Hunting at Mt. Timpanogos

    You know that feeling when your body is sore, achey, and tired, but you feel so great despite that? That’s me right now. Yesterday, we hiked up to Mt. Timpanogos basin. We didn’t summit the peak, but any hike up into the Timpanogos wilderness is magical— especially when the wildflowers are in full bloom! After […]

  • Camping & Stand Up Paddle Boarding at Causey Reservoir [Ogden]

    Camping & Stand Up Paddle Boarding at Causey Reservoir [Ogden]

    The beginning of summer always gets me thinking about what warmer weather adventures I should seek out each year. Our friends Rachel & Brandon invited us to go camping somewhere close to Salt Lake City this past weekend. Somewhere that’s been on my summer bucket list for a while is a trip to Causey Reservoir up in Huntsville, Utah (near Ogden). I thought it’d be a fun, quick trip to combine camping and paddling in the Causey Reservoir.

    Surviving My First Month on the Keto Diet

    I don’t usually discuss health/fitness topics on this blog, but I felt the need to since this is a lifestyle change I am in the process of making right now. I started the “ketogenic” or “keto” diet on April 24, just about 1 month ago. Keto Diet, Defined:   To put it simply, this diet is […]
