Welcome, I’m so happy you’re here! My name is Bethany Lorene. I am a wife to an amazing man named Jade, and a mother to our daughter Darlene and our baby boy, Stone. I use this space to document memories, share photos from our adventures, and write about what I am experiencing in my journey of motherhood and marriage.
I am passionate about my family, nature, ethical fashion and clean living. I have a background in writing and photography, and I love exploring our beautiful redwood forests and pristine beaches here in Northern California. Feel free to explore my blog and shoot me an email to say hi! I am so happy to share this space with you!
Camping in the Black Rock Wilderness, May 2019
Our first trip with the rooftop tent, March 2019
A homebody who loves to travel
I love to stay home and snuggle on the couch with some blankets, Netflix and ice cream. I also love taking road trips all over the place with our Subaru and our rooftop tent. Some of our trips are only a couple hours inland to the closest lake, others are 3000 miles roundtrip to the Midwest to see Jade’s family, and our longest one was during the Summer of 2019, which was a month long and encompassed 7 states!
Nothing makes me happier than being on the road with my family, driving through the desert or the mountains. Despite the occasional inconsolable baby or broken AC, the memories we have made on those trips are some of my favorites. I love taking photos on those trips and sharing them here as my virtual photo journal.
16 weeks pregnant, May 2020. The day my hair was cut after brushing out close to 60 dreadlocks
It took over 7 weeks and the help of 3 other women to comb through my 5 years of dreads.
