Anza-Borrego Desert State Park has been on our radar for years. There are miles of BLM land and we’ve watched many travelers spend weeks camping out in the desert for free. For the last two years, there has even been a social gathering of nomads for New Year’s Eve although we’ve never been close enough…
We live in 188 square feet of space, but we definitely make room for games! Whether they are educational or just for fun, playing games is a fabulous way to spend time together as a family. With kids in the 6-11 range, sometimes its hard to find games that will appeal to everyone. We have…
Thanksgiving weekend also means the start of Christmas. We are pretty diligent about not listening to Christmas music or putting up decorations before turkey day is over. However, I’ve grown increasingly sad with how stores are pushing the consumerism of Christmas. Do stores really need to be open on Thanksgiving Day? In 2015, REI started…
Its time for the holidays! While we are avid “no Christmas tree before Thanksgiving” kind of people, I also like to get my shopping done early. Notably, I do most of my shopping at Amazon which is why you’ll find many of these items. No joke. Even as a traveler. We tend to be near…
I hope that Santa brings me every one of those items for sale on Amazon. You sure know how to pick out the good stuff. Dear Santa, I want the GoPro HERO5 Session for my Youtube cooking shows. I want the Jamstik+ guitar because I don’t know how to play any musical instruments, but I do love to pretend. I want the OgoSport Mini OgoDisk because I love playing frisbee. And, I want the KEEN Hiking Shoes for my wife because she is awesome and I love to promote family values. She also needs all the help that she can get catching up with our son loves to run away while laughing at us trying to catch him. Finally, put one of those Kindle Paperwhites with a Fintie SmartShell Case Cover down under the tree and send an elf to help teach my son how to read.ReplyCancel
Having a small space for clothes has both its positive and negative sides. On the one hand, our closet for 5 has less space than most people have just for their dress shirts. On the other, I actually wear my clothes more often and even wear them out before I grow tired of them. We…
My daughter wants to start living & working part time out of a trailer to be in nature & paint. While we’ve been talking about it, saw your photo on Costco Connection, which I was ready to trash. Just had to read your blog, though, about trailer living and also because I had homeschooled my 4 kids. What a way to live! & what an experience to provide your kids! Their education will be incomparable along with their life experience.
Just started a new exercise program & was going to reduce a little before getting clothes, but now may be the time. I like Aventura as they aren’t as ridiculously priced as some brands…so if the coupon is still available…..ReplyCancel
Great post! Just in time for me! We always buy a board game for the family for Christmas and I was looking for something different!
