When I last left you, we had worked our way through our home sweet rolling home, right up to the kitchen and dining area! So there is food storage above booth, as well as school boards flanking either side of it. This gives the kids a visual during our school year to know what comes next on the schedule. The papers taped up on the window box, are our timeline from last year, walking through the Bible and History together. I will have to do a school post when we start the next school year! Gotta have little pops of home! I adore this pillow from my good friend, Kristina. It lives on the bench in the kitchen and reminds me of the land of Oz, where we come from. :) Now, lets head down the hallway to the bathroom and master bedroom! One of the questions we get asked most is about privacy, and I always tell them we are good to go. Pictured is one of 2 solid wood doors that close on either side of the shower room, as well as functioning to separate the master bedroom, from the kids room. You know how fun and freeing it is to be on vacation and enjoy your marriage perks fully? Yup, that's pretty much life on the road. Woot woot! ;) As you head past the fridge, you will see our Vision board. Making our dreams and goals visual and committing it to prayer, has been really moving and exciting! See the second wooden pocket door there? That's where it closes off the bathroom and bedroom.... So when you first walk in the bathroom area, this is what you see. To the left is the shower, to the right, the toilet room, and straight ahead, this sink space...... Its a really nice, open, bright space thanks to 2 skylights. These cabinets are super deep with tons of storage space! It has heated floors so in the winter, it's LOVELY!!!!! We are thankful for a second sink and toilet behind this door...AND .it's also a great place to hide away all the kids towels. Toilet is tucked behind the door area of this shot. Again, nice and bright, just wish they had put an AC vent in here, it gets warm! It has heat, but no cooling. Strange! The master is very spacious with tons of storage, but very very hard to photograph. You can walk around the entire bed. In our old RV, we had to sit on the bed to make it because there wasn't walking space. You walked in to the foot of the bed in that one. That gives you an idea of the different set ups of RVs. This one is pretty much wall to wall cupboards and storage too, which we are SO thankful for! Dorothy/oz themed pillow #2 is from my friend, Brittany from Kansas. It goes perfectly with the bedding. She is also the one that made our Ferguson Family adventures pin board we track states on. Love it! We use this set of cupboards beside the bed for a coat closet and doTERRA storage, as well as school paperwork. This is to your right when you walk into the bedroom. To the left of the door when you walk in, is Avery's closet, pictured below, as well as lot of drawers for the kids clothes. It also houses the TV. It used to be the box kind of tv, but once we got a flatscreen, Dale made it hinge thing {that is a super technical term, I know} that pops the TV up, so we have more usable space. Movies, dvd player, and oils hidden away in the TV box area...... Kids bedding when not in use...lives up in this set of cupboards. They tear down and roll up their bedding each day, with the exception of the fold out bed. It can stay made except the bulky top cover. Here is a pic of Dale and my side of the closet. We use drop down metal hangers to help save space {and be able to fit more clothing options, YESSSSS!} and shoe racks to make the floor of the closet more functioning for my shoe and apparently, my Chucks addiction. ;) Destiny, Tylan and Paxton shares the other side. It looks similar to this one, extra space, shoe racks and all. See that grooved cabinet to the left of the closet? Guess what is in it? EEEK! a washer dryer combo. Let me tell you, I ADORE this thing. I think they should make a set of these for homes. Each one would do a load from wash to dry, and no wasted time when you forget to move a load to the dryer! Do you know how FAST a momma could get her laundry done?! We load it up, go about our day as it washes AND dries, then come back an hour or so later, dump it on the bed, so the kids can fold and put away, and start the next load. I am telling you, GENIUS!!!!! See that On Guard Laundry soap? Oh man, I love that stuff. That bitty bottle does 64 loads! It's that concentrated and amazing! We have been so pleased with every natural product we have tried from them. And no more chemical filled clothing! Once I found out my All Free and Clear got an F grade because of cancer causing agents on the ECW.org website, and its ingredients caused developmental delays in children, I threw it out! Gross. Everything in our home is now homemade from essential oils, water and vinegar, or bought from doTERRA's cleaning line, and I am saving a ton of money. LOVE it all, and it all smells amazing! We are a 42 foot Class A diesel RV, pulling a 24 foot enclosed trailer. We are a BIG rig going down the road! But it works so well for us!!!! Another question we get a lot is why do we pull a trailer and what is in it? A cool car? Haha, Dale wishes! WHY do we pull a trailer? Because we don't want to pull our car 4 down and wear out the wheels. We don't want an open trailer that leaves bikes and car exposed to weather. Sooo, what's in it? Well, its our Garage, per say. It houses our 6 passenger car, 6 bikes, 4 scooters, a bin of outdoor toys, a broom and mop, a grill, a massage table for aromatouch sessions, and more. Sweet Dale built me some shelving above the car, so we'd be able to have some bins of swim suits, games, Christmas decor, doTERRA paperwork and blessing bags etc. We also have our Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling for next December! :) Dale can't be without fishing gear, so it has a spot on a side wall. Everything has to be safely secured so we don't damage the car paint as we bounce down the road! Thanks for coming over! Hope you enjoyed your tour of our home!!!! :)
In the future I'd like to do a travel day post and a "day in the life of" post. Is there anything else I should cover? Any more questions I can answer? Leave me a comment! Hugs, T

thanks for sharing. I would be interested in some comments from the children about their adventure. also, more about how you keep some sense of structure in your daily lives without spoiling the adventure aspect of it.

It's a tight squeeze, and Dale has to slide out the window once it's in, but it sure works well! :)

Loved both parts of your tour ! You seem to have everything under control . Could you post about how many miles to a Gallon of gas you get for travel and how often you have to stop for groceries ect . Also if at this point you get tired of always having to roll up bedding , secure everything and just in general if it gets tiring of being in a traveling home rather then just leaving things as is and walking out to enjoy the out doors . I know sometimes after camping in a travel trailer it's really nice to get home ! Thanks love following you guys !
