Last week we set off on a 3-week road trip to Minnesota, our first with the new camp trailer! Having a little trailer for trips like this has been a dream of our’s forever. And we’re pinching ourselves both about the trailer and about having the time to take another long adventure. We’re still getting to know our new trailer, but unfortunately…well…we’ve run into a few issues. I wanted to share those today along with where we’re going and the trailer’s new name.

Read MoreWe’ve been loving our garden patio for a couple of months now, and thought it was time to share a DIY. Building a patio and laying pavers is definitely a do-it-yourself kind of project. It’s more labor than skill and relatively affordable. This project is all about the prep, so don’t skimp on that. And you’ll probably need to brush off the old TI-85 (aka calculator) to determine how much gravel and sand you’ll need. But if you have a long-weekend on your hands and a friend or two, this is a project for you!

We took some time off from our kitchen renovation this week to go camping with the kids on the Washington Coast. We walked the beach, explored the tide pools, hiked in the Hoh Rainforest, and ate our weight in s’mores. A good time was had by all! But after a couple nights of sleeping on the ground, we were all happy to see our beds again. We really need to find ourselves a little camp trailer 🤪
