Hello!

I’m Molly. I’m a full-time working mom and Midwest explorer on a mission to change the narrative about local travel in the heartland of America. I encourage other families to say yes to local adventures, seeking out the hidden gems, family-friendly spots, and unique experiences that make Indiana and the entire Midwest such a special place to live and visit.

Juggling work, family, and travel can be a challenge, but I believe it’s possible to enjoy the best of both worlds. I want to show you how to make time for meaningful adventures and family outings- even with a busy schedule. Through my journey, I’ve discovered that there is so much more to see and do than I ever thought possible—and I want to share that discovery with you! Whether you’re looking for fun activities for the whole family, beautiful nature spots, road trip destinations, or exciting hidden treasures, I’m here to be your guide to all the best things the Midwest has to offer.

Facts about Me

I’m a mom, wife, and a full-time police officer in Indianapolis. I’m mom to a 2-year-old, 18- and 22-year-old, and also four dogs, a cat, 2 rabbits, some chickens, 3 ducks, 2 goats…and whatever stray animal I bring home next to surprise my husband. Over the last four years I’ve shared the ups and downs of our family’s IVF journey, my experience as a working mom, and our family’s explorations.
