Camping on the Go: The Art of One-Night Stays

  Camping on the Go: The Art of One-Night Stays We frequently have trouble deciding where to go for the weekend camping trip. We have so many options within our ideal 3-4 hour radius, it’s hard to focus on just ONE place for the weekend. So a couple weekends ago, we decided to take the…

Get Outdoors: Camping in Tete Jaune Cache

We did it again. We hooked up our RV and took it into the great wild yonder – this time about 3 hours west to Tete Jaune Cache, BC.  We were pleasantly surprised to get off the TransCanada highway and be at our campground within about 3 minutes. The river views from the Tete Jaune…

Micro Adventures: Following Your Kids Lead

I admit it. I’m number one of four children, and I tend to be the leader. Call it natural inclination.  As the big M-O-M, I tend to be the one rocking the plan together, making sandwiches and doing all that background goodness that gets things done.   This micro adventure was a challenge for me. I…

Micro Adventure: Marshmallows in the Backyard

Summer in my mind equates with good old fashioned mess. Squishy wet beach sand between your toes as you prance along without shoes. The tangy sweet smell of sunscreen on warm, tan skin fresh from the lake. Sticky, gooey and delicious campfire s’mores and burnt marshmallows squashed between your finger tips.

How To Ditch the Training Wheels

Snow Volcanoes

It’s not quite spring here yet. I find myself a little jealous of British Columbia weather where it seems like things are blooming and the grass is oh-so green. In the meantime though, we are savouring the last bit of snow with a few outdoor activities. With new fallen snow, the pure white of the…

10 Zucchini Recipes To Make

About Zucchini I really love zucchini. If you can get these heat loving crops growing, they will keep giving and giving zucchini to the point where you will give away ones because you can’t keep up with eating them as fast as they are growing. Until you break off a fruit, they will continue to…
