I'm Chelsea. That's my husband, Nate. After graduating from college, we got engaged, settled down and quickly discovered that domestic bliss requires a whole host of stuff they didn't teach at UCLA.
Now, we're on a mission to share smart ideas for adventurous families. Our purpose is to make everyday life more efficient, and inspire people to seize fun opportunities. Nate offers up hands-on fatherhood and a forthright approach to life's challenges. Chelsea adds color with creative how-tos and commentary about rugged living in a modern era. The blog culminates in a he-said-she-said humorous journal that documents our daily exploits.
We believe that life doesn't have to be lived on anyone's terms but your own, and even the smallest moments can hold BIG life lessons.

On weekends, you'll often find us working on our latest fixer-upper home. We also homeschool and spend a ton of time traveling to broaden our children's world view. Our family has experienced some health issues and a major tragedy that caused us to hone in the focus of our lives, maximizing efficiencies to use our time on this earth as well as possible.
We believe that no matter what you've experienced, a positive mindset and incremental change can help you live a life you love.
We are the Day family, and we thank you for being here.
