In the past five weeks I have slept in 3 different countries and 11 different beds. I set foot in 10 states and 9 air planes. I spent 12 nights at home and 19 nights someplace else. For some of you, these statements might seem normal, for some it sounds like a dream, for others of you this sounds like a nightmare. If you know me well, you are guessing …
I wanted to take a minute to introduce you to Assateague Island. I posted a lot of family photos from our recent trip to the island, but I also wanted to tell those of you who have never heard of the island about how cool it is. The island is off the coast of Maryland and on either side it boasts both a beautiful beach and a bay view of …
Dave and I spent a large part of our weekend on Assateague Island with Dave’s extended family. Dave has been camping on the island with his family his entire life – his family has been camping there each year since before he was born! They have all kinds of stories about camping on the beach with wind and wild horses – but I will get into that later in the week. …
While we were in Colombia we spent some time in a beautiful town in the foothills called Miranda. Miranda is the town closest to where the Redeeming Grounds farmers live and also the home of their partner church. We felt so blessed and honored to be shown around their city and meet so many incredible people who are driving the RG mission forward. As we walked around town I snapped …
If you haven’t already been able to tell, we had such a great time with the Redeeming Grounds team in Colombia. We had such a great balance of work, building relationships, and play while taking photos and filming – just the way we like to work on projects! Just in case you didn’t get a chance to follow us on Instagram, or even if you did, I thought I would …
Have you ever been on a Ghost Tour? We have noticed a lot of haunted, historic tours advertised around the South’s oldest cities and my family has checked a few of them out over the past few years. My parents enjoyed a few haunted tours in Savannah, GA and our family joined a haunted cemetery tour when we were in Charleston, SC over Christmas. My aunt and cousins are here …
While we are in the process of editing photos and videos I thought it would be fun to share a few ‘tourist’ posts from our time in Colombia. One ‘touristy’ destination that we visited was the National Coffee Park which is located in Montenegro, Colombia. This area of the country is known for its beautiful coffee plantations and, of course, the world famous Colombian coffee that they produce. These plantations are …
I will never drink coffee the same way again. We arrived back from Colombia late last night and this morning as I made my cup of coffee I couldn’t help but think about the hands that farmed it. I am looking forward to sharing video and photos of the farmers and their families so that you can make a cup of Redeeming Grounds coffee in the morning and know the hands that …

In a couple hours, Erica and I will be setting down in Colombia, South America for a video and photography project. The photo above shows a few items I like to have on hand yet don’t get a lot of credit – especially when we travel. Whether keeping us better organized, shedding a little extra light in the dark, or needing an extra strap to tie down pretty much anything, we …
