Self care

Hey everyone! I felt like I should post an update since things around here have been pretty quiet this summer! About a month ago, I got my head bumped pretty good.

Getting ready!

A while back I bought a second hand canoe from a friend. I was thinking of getting a nice lightweight one, but the budget just isn’t allowing that right now. So here I am with this new-to-me canoe! A friend had asked me if I had checked yet to see if it floats. Of course… Continue reading Getting ready!

Ack! Bugs!

I was in a rush this morning getting ready to leave for a trip, so I thought I’d try my hand at vlogging instead! Lol… I think writing might be more my thing!  Either way, I’m trying new things for those bugs that get me all the time! Do you have anything that works for you?

Chuck it ball

My aim is awful. Beyond awful. There’s been times I’ve tossed and tossed and tossed my rope until I was exhausted… and then just accepted that my food wasn’t hung high enough.  On my last trip I found this ball in the water and it’s been helping tremendously! What do you use to toss your… Continue reading Chuck it ball

Challenges and benefits

I’ve been having fun lately tinkering with videos.  I’m not really sure what people like… Videos?  Pictures?  Text?  I’m just going with what I like doing, and I’m hoping that it’s helpful somehow.  I plan on doing my thing regardless, being authentic and whatnot; but I always welcome feedback 😊 (and questions!
