Our family on a plane heading to the Dominican Republic in 2015 (and part of how we afford our holidays? I still wear that same t-shirt four years later!) 😉

Five Things I Want From An All-Inclusive Resort (Before I Go)
Ever since we bought our camper a few years ago along with our good fortune to be able to go on winter holidays for a few years running, I’ve begun to feel that my life basically oscillates between those two annual highlights. We get off the plane in late February/early March, tanned and rested and […]
Saturday Snap – Our Summer Family
When we were at Echo a few years back, we met, befriended and hung out with (and got hungover with!) a few other young couples. (I know “young” is relative for me these days but Shea’s a lot younger than me so I follow her lead on that!) When we got our seasonal site at […]
Music Monday – “This tiny space is all I need to live in/A simple life’s good for the soul/And I think I’m going to live in a boler/Tow it behind me wherever I go”
I used this song as part of a longer end-of-season montage after our first summer seasonal site three years ago but it deserves a post of its own. (Make sure you read the story about the singer from the Ovarian Cancer “Walk of Hope” page below – very tragic story for such a joyful song.) “Living […]
10 Reasons We Love Camping
As we begin the sad process of closing up our seasonal site for another year, it feels like a good time to do a list of the reasons Shea and I enjoy camping so much: We both camped lots with our own parents growing up so we know how it can create amazing memories for […]

We got a glimpse of what it might be like this […]
Eating With The World’s Most Isolated Tribe
We live in a pretty amazing world where I can use some of the world’s most advanced technology – the Internet, YouTube, wifi – to watch a video clip about one of the world’s most primitive societies.
Throwback Thursday – Elvis Has (Not) Left The Building (May 2011)
I think it’s been eight years since we were last in Calgary which happened to be a weekend visit which combined a 50th Wedding Anniversary for a Calgary-based aunt and uncle and a 50th birthday party (featuring an appearance by The King!) for a Calgary cousin. Here’s a picture of my dad with eight of […]
Banff Gondola and Sulphur Mountain Summit
It’s hard to pick a favourite part of our quick trip to Calgary – seeing the pandas at the Calgary Zoo (though gorillas and hippos will always be my favourites), driving past so many of our old haunts (even tried to buzz a neighbour whose name is still on the board at our former condo […]
