Our Story ~ What Staycation Really Means

In 2008, David and I took a leap of faith to make our dream of living in the mountains we love come true. That’s when we found out What Staycation Really Means.

I want to share our story with you. Our story is proof that through, faith, love, and determination dreams really do come true. We are so very blessed! 

You just have to BELIEVE!

I invite you to read our story. In this collection of blog postings, you will learn how The Mountain Kitchen came to be. 

Our story begins here: What Staycation Really Means: Part I
