Welcome to Raising4Harrisons! I'm a proud mama of four wonderful kiddos—Jordan (14), Alex (10), Payton (8), and Taylor (4)—and married to my amazing husband, Robert, for over 15 years. We’re a close-knit family living in beautiful Northern California, and together, we’re on a mission to explore the world around us, one adventure at a time.

I’ve always had a love for travel. Growing up, I was lucky enough to hit the road with my grandparents in our trailer, touring the USA, Canada, and Alaska (for 3 months!). Those road trips are some of my fondest memories, and now, as a mom, I’m excited to pass that love of travel down to my own kids.

Traveling as a family of six can be a challenge (and let’s be honest, it’s not always cheap!), but I’m always on the lookout for affordable ways to explore, whether it’s a weekend getaway or finding ways to make the most of our adventures close to home.

Education is a big part of my travel philosophy. I believe that the best lessons are often learned outside of a classroom, so I try to incorporate learning opportunities into our trips wherever possible. Whether it’s exploring the great outdoors, visiting historical landmarks, or learning about new cultures, I want our kids to experience the world with their own eyes and minds.

When I’m not on the road, I also run a freelance business in marketing and social media (I have a BS in Business Marketing), which lets me work with amazing brands while staying flexible enough to keep traveling with my family. Check out my portfolio HERE

Here on the blog, I share the family fun here in my hometown of Folsom (Sacramento). You will find fun guides, local articles, Summer Camp guides, local events and more —I ultimatly hope to inspire others to take their own family on adventures and get out in the community, no matter their budget or stage in life.

Thanks for following along with our journey! We hope to inspire you to go to a new family event, visit a new locally owned business and visit somewhere new, because life is short—and the world is waiting.
