We’re Adam & Stacy

Welcome! We’re so glad you found us! 

Just a married couple in our 50s who have recently become empty nesters. What a shock to the system that is after having children at home for decades. I’m originally from Wisconsin and Adam grew up in Iowa.  Adam and I got married and raised our children near Madison, Wisconsin. 

Although our family and making memories with them is our absolute favorite thing to do in the whole world; we love travel, music, new adventures, and a good DIY project! Most recently we’re renovating Adam’s childhood home in NE Iowa. We recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in Hawaii, and have had many travel adventures together including Germany, France, Mexico, Turkey and much of the United States. We’re hoping our retirement includes good health and a ton of travel.

Adam spent his career in technology as a software engineer until his company eliminated his position three years ago and he was forced into early retirement, which he loves! As for me (Stacy) I spent my career in the salon and spa industry as a spa owner until I sold my businesses after 20 years and became a full time content creator in the skincare and facial rejuvenation space. If you’re interested in that you can find my beauty content here. 

We have four beautiful children (our son Drew passed away 4 years ago) and three grandchildren. 

We’re starting an exciting new chapter in our lives! Renovation of Adam’s childhood home, more travel, less stress, and rediscovering ourselves and our lives as empty nesters. 

Thank you for being on this adventure with us.
