My Family Has Gone Free

This is a blog about a family.  Our family.

We have decided to sell everything we own, except for the essentials, and see our country.

We are going to homeschool our kids, Christian and Connor, who are 11 and 10.

We are going to run our business, The Life Coach School, from the road.

We are not going to live in an RV.

Rather, we are going to rent awesome homes in awesome places and stay at nice hotels and eat amazing dinners and go on adventures.

This blog will start six months before we leave (Jan 2012) and continue through our launch date (July 1, 2012) until we plan on arriving back in Folsom, CA in July 2013.

We will share how we sell all of our belongings that currently fill our 4200 square foot home.

We will share our plan, how much it all costs and how much we enjoy it along the way.

We will share the truth.

If we get on each other’s nerves or hate parts of the trip-we will tell you.

We will also tell you what we learn and what we love about our trip.

We realize that not everyone chooses to take this kind of adventure, but many are interested in what it’s like.

We invite you along for the virtual ride.

    Brooke,

    PLEASE come to Ohio! We can coach (okay, you can coach me!) and I can show you all of the wonders of the Buckeye state!

    • Brooke, I second that request to come to good ol’ Ohio. You’ll get a “two-fer” because I’m here too and would love to see you. Have a fabulous trip!
