However, as we have a small RV (22′), we have limited space to pack items into. (more…)

Your children are the most precious things in your life, and from the moment you see those two lines on a pregnancy test, you will be making plans for them. From what stroller you want to use, to which daycare you will send them to, but what about the things a little further in the future? (more…)

During the start of the Pandemic in March, I made huge Costco orders and tried to stock up on things that were shelf stable. So here we are months later, still pandemic-ing, but truth be told, fresh produce has not been hard to come by. (more…)
