Welcome to AdventureRx—where family life intersects with healthcare and emergency services.

We’re a firefighter/paramedic and a nurse case manager, both working odd shifts while raising two young kids. Juggling unpredictable schedules, we’ve learned to be intentional with our time and turn small windows into meaningful moments. That’s what inspired AdventureRx—our way of sharing what we’ve learned, lived, and loved along the way.

AdventureRx is your prescription for purposeful living.

Our blog is divided into the three key areas linked below.
