Funny story we stopped here on the way back home and my bro was like "take a picture of me by this cool design". so then a few weeks went by and someone tagged Noah in a post so I was scrolling through his page and saw he created this beautiful art! So cool to know who made it.

Chasing hidden treasures on the road less traveled! 💎🌊

Woah I didn't realize the last time we were there was July 2023! That blows my mind, time goes by far to quick. I'm glad we decided to go back during the rainy season to see the massive difference!

Always such an incredible time driving through the woods and finding hidden treasures like this!

Do you want to know HOW exactly I found this spot?

Which one is your favourite edit?
1, 2, 3 or 4?

We stumbled upon these falls last year, but there was no water, so we needed to make a trip back!

Sooo happy we did, they are stunning and every bit worth the drive to get there!

What an incredible day! 🤩

Started out trying out Noah's new toys then headed up to Mt. Washington for the tube park (that ended up being a sh*t show and we only got 1 run in but we didn't let that stop the fun)

We then headed to the Raven Lodge with thoughts to go snowshoeing and found out you can go sledding, so with the kids already getting tired we opted for that. We had an absolute blast and the kids couldn't get enough of the snow!

Feeling so thankful to live here ❤️

Road trip across Canada with my 3 kids! What an incredible trip it was!

Early mornings in the tent staying cozy, snuggles and snapping a few pics to remember these amazing days.

Thanksgiving weekend we went to and it didn't disappoint!

The kids had a blast and LOVED the corn maze!
It was fun walking around and watching the kids pick out their own pumpkins!

Have you been to a pumpkin patch? What's your favourite part?

Life has been differently lately.
It feels like it's...
School drop off, filling time, school pickup, after school activities.
Rinse and repeat.

Now that it's just me and these 2 the majority of the day, it's been fun seeing how they're taking on their new roles as well.. Addy is now the "oldest" and guiding Wilder on our adventures and Wilders just growing up so fast, keeping up right along with her.

Although Noah's loving school, has an amazing teacher and gets outside a ton (something I think is so amazing and helped in the decision in actually signing him up for school) I still feel like a part of me is missing everyday.

I've been quiet on here adjusting and figuring out the new daily dynamic and what to do to fill our days. I miss being creative and making videos, or creating with my hands but at the same time I've been so tired from a new daily schedule that when push comes to shove the IG world tends to be put on pause. But I'm hoping to figure out a way to get back on track with everything. ♥️

Anyway I hope you're doing well! I'm still here, we're still getting outside and going on adventures!

How did you adjust when your first kiddo went to school??

📍San Josef Bay

A short 3.5 hour drive from the Qualicum Area, up to Port Hardy, then another 1.5 hours on an active logging road to the trailhead, then about 2.8km hike through the lush forest to a stunning beach. Then down the beach to some sea stacks. Where you can walk around or continue further down the beach... but be aware you can get cut off by the tide, so tick tock pay attention to your watch... or don't like us, and follow the wooded trail up and around for extra entertainment and some wild s**t. 🤙

*real talk* When I first walked out onto the beach at San Jo I was highly disappointed. You see all these beautiful photos and then you get there and you're like mmmm what, where the heck are these pictures taken? Well ya gotta walk down the beach to find them :) now ya know!

**caution**
When driving on active logging roads be extra careful, and it's suggested to bring a spare tire as there's not much or no service along there.

Also it's known for bears and wolves to be spotted here, so again use your noggin, don't try to pet them cuz they're cute! Definitely don't feed them, and bring your bear spray.

And oh yeah I just added this trail on so it should be on there soon!
