Handcrafted Adventure
More life in
the life you already have.
We’re Krista and Tom. This is our place to share a life in progress: where we’re going, what we’re making, how we’re staying healthy, what we’re learning, and the people we’re sharing it with.
Along the way, we share the useful parts too: places worth the drive, gear we actually use, books we couldn’t put down, and ideas you might want to try in your own life.
Our 90-day Fully Lived Framework starts January 11, 2027 → Learn more

Health & Wellness
How we’re staying strong
Walking, strength training, and running as we actually do them, around real work schedules.
Finding Direction
What we’re learning and making
Career changes, creative projects, books, and the decisions that shaped where we are now.

The Fully Lived Framework · Founding Beta
We built what we’ve learned into a 90-day guided program.
The Fully Lived Framework helps you get clear on what matters, stay able to take part in the life you want, and make room for the things you keep putting off. It comes with a printed workbook, a short video each week, and a small group call every other week with both of us.
The founding group begins January 11, 2027. Enrollment opens in November 2026 and closes December 1, 2026.
Planners you can use right now
Three self-guided planners for direction, everyday strength, and making more room for adventure.

We’re Krista and Tom.
Handcrafted Adventure grew out of a season when our world got smaller and we started paying closer attention to how we were using it. Since then, we’ve changed careers, moved, traveled, rebuilt habits, and tried a lot of new things.
I’m Krista. I work as a radiologic technologist, design quilt patterns at Four Robbins, and do most of the writing here. Tom has worked in IT since 1996 and shows up in most of the stories. Here, we share what we’re doing, making, and learning, and what we’d recommend.
