I am starting off this post with a little bit of bad news. Or, maybe I simply want to be real and address an issue that not everyone wants to talk about and admit out loud. RVs, campervans, and even trailers are expensive and for a lot of people does not feel like a possible…
Our living room needed a little bit of something. I couldn’t figure out what it needed. All I knew was that I wanted to feel really great when I was sitting on our chair beside our fire place drinking my coffee out of my favourite pottery mug. We added two things to our living room…
For the adventurous family, the Morrison Outdoors Sleeping Bag is the baby product you may not know you need. The baby and toddler sleeping bags for camping are a GAME CHANGER. If you’re anything like me, you knew that you wanted to introduce your child to the great outdoors from a very early age and…
Fernie, BC holds a special place in my heart. I have experienced memorable moments and unforgettable firsts in this charming mountain town.

Are you looking to get some fun and excitement on your next camping trip with teens? Teens are incredibly fun to camp with because unlike younger kids who need a lot of hand holding, teens usually just need a little direction to turn any outing into a full on party. Full Disclosure: This post contains…
The West Coast Trail, located on the traditional territory of the Huu-ay-aht, Ditidaht, and Pacheedaht First Nations, is one of Canada’s most challenging hiking trails.
