Welcome to The Everyday Expedition
Life is full of adventures, big and small, and this is where we embrace them all.
Here, we believe that every moment can be an expedition – whether it’s trying a new recipe with your kids, packing up for a family road trip, or simply slowing down to enjoy a walk in the woods together.
I’m a mom to three young girls, a military wife, and someone who’s passionate about exploring life to the fullest. Our days aren’t always picture-perfect, but they’re full of love, learning, and a whole lot of laughter. My goal is to share the joys (and lessons) of parenting, traveling, and building a family life that feels meaningful and connected.

Whether you're here for travel ideas, parenting tips, or just a little encouragement to make your days more meaningful, you’re in the right place. Let’s explore the extraordinary in the everyday – together.
Hi there, I’m McKenna,
I’m a mom to three little explorers, a military wife, and someone who loves finding joy in the big and small moments of family life. Whether we’re making breakfast together (my girls love helping in the kitchen and setting their own table!), packing backpacks for a nature walk, or setting out on a cross-country road trip, we’re all about savoring the everyday adventure.
I believe
Adventures don’t have to be extravagant. They can happen in your backyard, at the kitchen table, or on a local trail.
Positivity and connection matter. Especially in a busy, ever-changing lifestyle like ours.
Family is our focus. The bonds we build now are the ones our kids will carry with them into adulthood.
What You’ll Find Here
At The Everyday Expedition, you’ll discover:
Simple, attainable family adventures. From cozy at-home crafts to outdoor explorations, it’s all about making it doable and fun.
Practical tips for traveling with kids. Because yes, it’s possible – even enjoyable! – to explore with little ones in tow.
Moments of humor and honesty. Parenting is messy and magical, and I’m here to share the real, relatable parts of it all.
Occasional glimpses into military family life. While this isn’t our main focus, it’s part of our story and shapes how we approach family and connection.
Why I’m Here
I started this blog because I want to share with other families how simple it can be to create memories, no matter their budget, schedule, or circumstances. You don’t need fancy gear or far-off destinations to make meaningful connections with your kids – you just need a little intention and a sense of adventure.
I hope you leave here feeling understood, excited, and ready to try something new, whether it’s baking cookies, starting a new tradition, or saying “yes” to a family outing you’ve been putting off.
Let’s embrace the messy, magical moments together – one everyday expedition at a time.
