Well hello there! I did not intend to let the entire month of August pass without posting at all but it happened. We had a full month and it made sense to let this little online space go a bit. I've been camping, reading (more on that soon), eating, spending time with friends and family.… Continue reading 2022 Highlights: August
This past week we made our annual camping trip to Keats Island. Peter and I have been camping there countless times before (him especially) and this marked our 5th year camping with the girls. (See 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2016. 2017 is conspicuously missing but my excuse is that I was severely pregnant for much… Continue reading 2021 Highlights: Week 30 (Keats Island Edition)

When it comes to parenting, I'm learning that often you simply have to take the plunge. We've always known that… Continue reading Pearl’s First Camping Trip
It's been a busy week or so. Here's some stuff that happened. A snail hitched a ride on our car. (2 points if you can tell where we were when this picture was taken.) We watched the rain over Nanaimo from Roberts Creek pier. We got some rain too but it… Continue reading Some Recent Adventures
We've had a couple of pretty amazing days in a row here. The weather has been sunny and warm without being uncomfortably hot and we currently live in one of the most beautiful spots in the world.
