Welcome friends!
My name is Elaina and I am the mom member of "The Bob Fam" hence the name "Bobbing Along." Welcome to my substack!
I have been loving reading my friends’ substacks so I thought I’d make my own.
If you’re wondering what you’ll find here, so am I. The long-form creative outlet, unlike Instagram or Twitter, is really nice to tap back into as my life is slowing down a little bit. A few things I may or may not wind up talking about are:
1. Updates on Kyle, Lu, Wilder, and myself
I will write probably a lot about my family along with other broader family updates, including my parents, siblings, etc. I may share some thoughts and feelings on things that are happening in our lives.
2. Our Wildwood community
We live in a beautiful, family-friendly neighborhood in the Santa Cruz mountains and my kids are growing up barefoot, mobbing around with a big group of kids of varying ages, jumping on trampolines, making grassy homes for bugs, trekking through the river, and living predominantly screen-free.
3. Living outdoors
Along with our children, Kyle and I are outdoors a lot when the weather isn’t extreme. We spend time at the beach or the river, walking in the woods, gardening, building, sunbathing, puddle jumping, picnicking… Some of our adventures may make their way here.
4. Miscellaneous ramblings, pictures, adventures
“Foffee and cookies” as Lu used to call morning coffee and cookies (hence the title of the URL), woodworking, pottery, making fires, technology, gender, Ziggy Starbus adventures, and parenting might all find their way here as well.
So thanks for joining me if you happen to find this! I’d love to follow along with other friends and family who write on their own substacks and I hope to have open and engaging conversations about life!
Until next time XXOO
