Hi all! I’m Rachel from The Singing Sparrow. There’s been a big change around here. Our baby boy, Ian, was born just under a year ago. Life has been crazy and wonderful, and with this change, I’ve decided to start a new blog, with a new name: Raising a Roamer.

Not all those who wander are lost.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

We love to travel. We love camping and kayaking and backpacking and roadtripping with no definite plans. And now we get to show the world to our Little Roamer.

We are so excited to be including him in what we love, and already have a few trips planned for this year, so this blog will be a chronicle of our adventures, with a few other topics from the old blog thrown in, like recipes and gardening.

It’s good to be back.
