A Modern Hippie Blog About Life, Family, Creativity, and Outdoor Living
Mindful stories and ideas sprinkled with good vibes
Hop in! There’s room in the van! I grew up on mountain road trips in a unicorn-decorated van, tagging along as my parents visited artists and practiced mindfulness in Unitarian retreats. Those beginnings shaped this space.
A Hippie Chick is a home for reflections on nature, creativity, community, and family. I write honest stories about the everyday moments that bring us back to what matters. I’m so glad you found your way here and know you’re always welcome.

Chocolate in the Snow
It was a beautiful snowy day for me, since I got to stay inside and watch the fun. Oliver ran around in circles as usual, but this time he was also eating ice along the way. Greg, thank you for keeping an eye on everyone out there in the freezing wind.
Catching a Photo of a Lab
I managed to catch this photo-he’s almost never still. So silly, chasing his tail…a lot. He knows “Sit” and just realized that when he sees his leash, it means he gets to go outside and make Greg sprint across the yard. #chocolatelabpuppy #chocolatelaboftheday
A Learning Lab Inspired by Oliver
I’m learning so much from our new Lab puppy, Oliver. There’s silliness, joy, and a generous amount of chaos. #LearningLab
