Marine Corps Nomads

Wednesday’s adventure took us to the Lower Calf Creek hiking trail. Our destination? A 121 foot waterfall. It was a 6 mile round trip hike up and down through rocks and sand. It was a beautiful hike filled with great scenery and glimpses into our country’s past. It was not an easy hike, but it was worth it. Munchkin is on the mend. This was the first day where she was actually acting more like herself. She was really excited to be out exploring and hiking. Our adventures continue at Devil’s Garden.

Willis Creek – Slot Canyons

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

Today’s journey took us to the Willis Creek hiking trail which contains a beautiful stream and slot canyons. Munchkin is still under the weather, but she’s able to do some hiking. Right now, we’re sticking to easier trails. This trail involves the possibility of getting your feet wet as hikers cross back and forth over the stream through the canyons. The beautiful slot canyons made for a nice hike. In the next post, I’ll tell you about our fun dinosaur track adventure.

10 Tips for a Greener, Cleaner Home Part 2

Posted in Homemaking

Yesterday, I talked about some of the products that we use in keeping our home green and clean. Today, I’m continuing with the 10 tips by sharing some ways that we keep our home clean and green. 6. Buy concentrate or in bulk When you buy your cleaner in concentrate form, you are saving money (not paying for the water in most cleaners), and you are reducing packaging.
