building A Life With Room For Love

Hi there! We are the Blocks. Julie & Ted first met at a bus stop in sixth grade, and we've been learning, growing, and building a community together since then. Fast forward almost 25 years and a lot has changed! We've welcomed four little Blocks (who are growing into big Blocks!), and we continue to learn and grow together.

We hope to encourage families to create room for adventure in their everyday life by choosing to focus on what matters most to them and letting go of the little things. From month-long camping roadtrips with epic hikes to folding laundry and sorting (or not sorting) socks, we invite you into our life. On this site we will explore topics of family, home, travel, games, food, and education: the building blocks of our life! We aren't sure where this story will lead, but we hope you'll join us along the way.
