About Lyndsay Stradtner

Lyndsay Stradtner and I am a natural light photographer with 14 years experience. While home is Austin, Texas, my family and I are currently traveling the US in an RV full time. Yes, we sold our 2,400 square foot home for a 400 square foot RV and couldn’t be happier about it! While our initial goal was to travel full time for one year, that quickly turned in to (at least) 3 years. I am married to a really great guy named Jason. With 5 kids (Ty, Taryn, Jude, Jonah and Zachary) and 2 dogs (Maggie and Pepper), our lives are filled with laughter and chaos, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Be sure to check us out on Etsy, Instagram and YouTube.

There are moments in motherhood when something happens for the last time and you know it’s the last time. There are also moments when something happens for the last time and it just slips away, with no announcement or realization. Like the last time your little one holds your hand when you cross the street, or calls you mommy instead of mom. It just changes with no warning and you don’t know it’s the last in that moment. Big kid things just slip in, quiet, unannounced, subtle little changes. Sometimes, I am not sure which scenario is the most brutal in motherhood. Probably because they both are? Tonight, as we put Z […]

Follow along as we visit the North Carolina side of Great Smokey Mountain National Park. We stayed at Big Bear RV Resort and our most favorite RPI park yet, Pride RV Resort. We also got to see our best friends for the first time in over a year!

We tried. We tried to love Atlantic City. But it was rough, y’all. I can honestly say it’s one of the few places we’ve been in the last 3 plus years that we did not feel safe. We quickly rode the wheel at the Steel Pier and left. Thankfully, we have other areas of New Jersey to explore during our stay – come on Jersey – help us love you!

Welcome to New Jersey!

While we absolutely Pennsylvania, it was a long and frustrating month of unsuccessful RV shopping. We drove through the tip of Delaware this afternoon and will be in Jersey for the next 3 weeks. We’ve actually been to Jersey before, but it was for a super fast one night stay in 2019. We were leaving the northeast after Jonah broke his arm and we had to stay put while it healed. Then in the middle of a layoff, we had no money for fun stuff and I needed to return to Texas for work. We were in a huge rush! I’m so happy to be back and we have so many fun […]

Follow along as we spend a day at Kennedy Space Center! We loved seeing the space shuttle Atlantis, the Challenger exhibit and the new Planet Play playground!

Overheard: funny things my 4 year old says

I love sharing little things I overhear in our family. When Taryn was little she used to say “yesternight” for last night and “knee pit” for the area behind your knees. Jude once told me he loved the song “Get Lucky” because it was about playing the lottery. Jonah….he’s said so many funny things through the years, like the time he imitated his sister reacting to a bug at only 2 years old.

Zachary keeps us laughing too. So much so that I started a note on my phone with all the funny things he says. I thought it’d be best to document that here with the rest of our life….

Probably […]
