For the last week or so the temperatures have been above 0°C and the snow has started to disappear. Not that we had a bad winter. It really only started to get cold in January and then it really only started to snow in February. And now it’s looking like at least another week in these tropical … More This Year’s Projects
A few years ago, my family (my parents, myself and my partner, my two brothers and their families) decided that we would cut down on our Christmas spending to alleviate some of the cost, clutter and stress of this holiday season. We tried a variety of different things. One year, we made donations to charities. … More A Tiny Christmas
If you’ve read my post on letter-writing, you’ll know that I have a thing for writing. I love journals. I love pens. I am one of those people who get giddy walking through the stationary aisle of Staples or WalMart. I have an entire shelf in one of my bookcases dedicated to writing.

As I’ve mentioned before, this movement is not just about living in a smaller, more efficient … More Tiny: A Story About Living Small

Upon the instructions of my brother, who has done a trashcan turkey or two during his camping adventures, we got our supplies. First off, … More Campfire Turkey (aka Trashcan Turkey)
One of the things I immediately fell in love with when looking to buy our little cabin in the woods, was the uneven ground. It’s very rocky and has these mini-cliff-like rocks that are fun to scramble up and sit on top of. To get from the cabin to the campfire, you have to walk … More A Really Simple Fireside Bench
