Erin in Wanderland is about choosing curiosity, movement and wonder in the middle of motherhood — not waiting until life gets less full.
I’m Erin, and I love the kind of days that leave dirt on your shoes and something new in your head.
I’m a homeschool mom who also happens to love high places, long trails, backpacking trips, sunrises worth waking up for, and the feeling of finding out I can do something that looked intimidating from far away.
This space is not about pretending adventure is effortless. It’s about making room for it anyway — while raising kids, teaching at home, managing the ordinary responsibilities of family life, and growing into the person I’m still becoming.
I write about the places I go, what I learn there, and how an adventurous life can belong inside motherhood instead of competing with it.
Read the JournalBecause wonder is not a destination. It’s a way of paying attention.
I want my kids to know that learning happens everywhere, that hard things are survivable, and that the world rewards people who are willing to look closely and keep going.
I also want them to see their mom doing things that matter to her — growing, exploring, trying, sometimes failing, and heading back out anyway.
