I’m Lisa Russell. My husband worked in the entertainment industry in Hollywood until we moved to the Pacific Northwest and now we have six daughters.
Life is good and we want to go on the road. We plan to explore the USA. There are 50 things I’d like to do on the road, and my kids each have their own interests. I want to share the journey with them.
I work from home and I’m not tied to any location, as long as I can get online regularly to retrieve and submit my work. My husband films movies and whenever he’s called out to location, we miss him. We’re really very blessed to have so much freedom already. We can do this!
So we’re hitting the road in the summer of 2011.
This website exists so that I can chronicle our adventure from beginning to end, sharing pictures, videos and stories from all over the USA.
Hi Lisa,
I found your site by accident (I wanted to use gypsymom.com for my own website! I was hoping that it wasn’t taken. It’s a great web URL).
Anyway, we are doing some of t he same things you are doing. I provided our blog if you want to check it out. It’s nice to know we aren’t the only ones doing this. I have to admit soome of our friends looked at us like we had three heads when I told them what we were going to do. LOL
I have enjoyed reading your posts and will check back. I also thought at one time you had a link to a map widget that would show where you have been. I thought it would be fun to put it on our site if you could point me to the link, I would appreciate it. Thanks and safe travels!
Are you still in the NW? We have been f/t for the last 13 mos and are currently spending the summer here and would love to meet up with you guys!
Safe travels!
Kimberly
Hey! I stumbled upon your blog today and I really love the concept. I, too, am quite the traveling gypsy. I know you are also a mom, and I think this might be of interest to you. Amy Poehler’s “Smart Girls at the Party” has a new web series called “Girls of the World.” http://bit.ly/UIJJyf
The series aims to educate other girls about different cultures. I thought it would be a great resource for you and your children.
