One of the hardest things about being a mom is finding a way to keep all of the family well-fed when they all seem to have endlessly changing tastes. And whilst pancakes and fries are definitely a big hit every now and then, it’s clear that we can’t exist on such treats every day! This

We may not have the third location narrowed down when it comes to our upcoming backpacking trip to Europe, but we do have the packing started. This weekend, we started a master list of the things to bring along, and made a quick trip to buybuy BABY to grab the last thing on our ‘to

When it comes to getting out of the house, we’ve always got the best intentions. We say we’re going to get up early, we set all of the alarms and we (last minute) get the laundry washed and dried, so everyone has clean clothes to pack and wear. Still, we were always late - always

If you’ve been following along, you know that we’ve spent a few weeks this summer exploring the backyard of our lovely Alberta, with Go RV – experiencing those subtle differences in ‘glamping’ with an RV. As part of that experience, I can safely say that I’ve been converted and convinced to ditch the cot in

Getting out of town in Jasper is refreshing – especially when you’re glamping. Last month, we had the experience of staying at Pocahontas campground. The rustic feel and private sites, combined with camping in an RV makes it feel like you’re roughing it, without actually having to ‘rough it’. Where to Stay Pocahontas Campground, in
