Project: Retaining Wall
Retaining wall time. We love vintage trailers, as I’m sure you know if you’ve seen all the work we’ve done on Boler trailers. Well, we also have a few Airstreams (we snagged two this year alone) and parking them has been tricky. So, we decided to build a huge retaining wall to organize the area. I say huge because it took 11 trucks, each with 7 yards of road crush. That’s 77 yards of fill. So much fill, but such awesomeness in the end. Retaining…

Recipes: Favourite Fall Eats
Favourite fall eats. It’s September, I know, hard to believe, right? Fall is so beautiful with the leaves changing colour and back to school festivities, it’s like a new year. So, let’s celebrate with some awesome food. Favourite Fall Eats Red lentil chili warms the soul. Plus, it’s easy to cook up a huge batch and freeze for lunches. I actually put it in freezer bags (I know, single use plastics) and then it defrosts in the fridge at work in the morning. Hearty, filling, but not…

Travel: Paris Snapshot
Paris snapshot – just a few highlights from our trip so far in Paris, France. First, it’s beautiful, and unlike some other cities, is recognize-able in a quick moment as being Paris. The weather is great, a little windy, yet overall we couldn’t ask for much better. It’s been sunny and getting up to about 22 degrees in the middle of the afternoon. It’s like the perfect fall day. No need for a coat, unless you want one, and a snazzy scarf is always welcomed.…

Travel: London Snapshot
London snapshot – we spent 4 full of fun days in London and I want to share some quick highlights with you. First, London is big, busy, and totally British! Bryce asked me at dinner on Monday night if London was everything I thought it would be. I didn’t really know how to answer, since I didn’t really know what to expect before coming here. I’m a believer in low expectations, since then it’s not so likely you’ll be disappointed, right? It’s a big city…

Travel: Europe in a Carry On
Europe in a carry-on. That’s right, it’s time to travel. Off the continent again. I remember the first time Bryce and I left the continent (well, we’d been to Maui, yet that was well before the blog). We were headed to Hong Kong and then onto South East Asia with our 33L backpacks. This time, I’m packing in a carry on that’s 40L – my Briggs and Riley carry-on traveller suitcase. And I’ll also be bringing my 20L tote. I got this tote last year when we were…
