Nicole here with my first ever BLOG! I wanted a way to share our family's exciting travels with everyone, and share my passion of good food and home cooking, so I thought, what a better way than a blog! Due to my husband Jake's job, our new little family is on the move. We live out of a 5th wheel and travel from job to job around the country. As we pick up and move I am excited to share with you each of our new destinations, fun things to see and do, and of course share my latest recipes and meal ideas! So, if you like what you see, join my blog and follow us across the country and see whats cookin' for dinner tonight!
