Simple Slip Covers

Our Bassador sleeps on the front bunk bed and because of its irregular shape, no sheet would stay tidy or in place.  This is how I solved the problem: First, chose a stretchy fabric that coordinates with your look. I chose a dark grey knit. Lay your fabric out flat and place the cushion on […]

Fresh Iced Tea

In every life, there needs to be a little luxury.  One of my favorite indulgences is fresh Blackberry Sage iced tea.  At home, I like to brew it by the big glass in my TeaForte pitcher and mug.  Such a lovely thing to sit with a big mug of ice and a little pitcher of […]

Camping Kitchen Toys

When one travels in a 17 foot camper, they need to be very savvy about the difference between a want and a need. We rarely use a microwave at home.  We don’t watch TV and we are primarily vegetarian so no TV, micro, roasters or big grills are needed– or wanted by us.  This makes […]

Practical Art–Travel Map

The thing about traveling in such a small camper is one needs to be judicious about what they allow into their space.  First it should fill at least one need (preferably at least two) and second it best work harmoniously with the colors,  so that everything flows together and not create visual clutter.  My decorating […]

Romancing the Egg

I can’t speak for all, but I will say these Eggs do seem to be an aphrodisiac all on their own.  Maybe it’s the close quarters, maybe the 8″ of soft foam mattress, maybe the long days of walks in the woods while holding hands, maybe it’s the team effort to cook a savory meal […]

Crafting Casitas

Traveling small does not mean plain. It might mean flat. So, if you have an old shirt box or lightweight cardboard and some holiday tissue paper, you have a decoration.  In my case, I didn’t have the box so I just used some handy poster board.   Materials: Scissors/Craft Knife Pencil/Eraser Poster Board Clear Contact […]

Yes 17′ is cozy

People often ask how we fit two adults a 50lb Bassador and a 22 pound Corgi in our little 17′ camper.  The answer is:  with a little patience, a good deal of organization and a lot of love.  Though we have a three burner propane stove inside, we do most of our cooking and living […]

Welcome to our little house travels

My Husband (whom I shall lovingly refer to as The Hub from here on out) and I have long been travelers.  In our dating years we lived in separate cities and would often fly to third locations for weekends and holidays.  As time constraints, frugality and pet family needs prevailed, we found ourselves less free […]
