Well if you’ve been reading along to this point, you know we like things “pretty”, frugal, practical, natural, dog-friendly and tasty-good food. The trick is how to pack a small space to be prepared to do the all things you love at a moment’s notice–and not bring so much you can’t easily see and stow […]
The perfect camping chair is a subjective thing. It can be different things in different settings, too. In the days of car camping, our heavy duty folding chairs were just the ticket for the limited space and ease of use. Now that we have the Casita, we have a little more room to lug a […]
Like so many of our little getaways, this trip needed to be just a couple hours drive so that the weekend wasn’t lost in travel and so that set-up could be in daylight (in our early camping days we would often set-up after dark priming the evening for upset, don’t you know.) I was looking […]
Just a little over a year ago, we were tent camping down in Florida for Christmas vacation. It had rained and stormed just before we arrived and this site opened up for us as well as the flooded one, next to us. We had no neighbors for a week in this highly prized campground. Did […]

An artist by trade, I see everything as a blank canvass. In fact, The Hub jokes that if it can take paint, it will get it. His only request was that I not paint the cabinets while they were brand new. So, that meant I needed to get busy with the accessories. As you will […]
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 […]
