It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… just a little different from what we’re used to seeing in the cold climate at home! Playa del Carmen Cozumel
We’re here!
We’ve arrived in Mexico! The travel was all good, but things have been tough because we’re sooooo tired. Our first flight was 6am, which means the airport shuttle picked us up at home at 4am and we got up at 3am. And of course going to sleep at 7pm to get enough sleep was an almost impossible Read More
To Mexico we go
We’ve decided to head to Mexico for two months, mid October to mid December! All three of us are quite excited for the trip. It will see us away from home for the late Fall season, including many of the things that make it unpleasant for us at that time of year, including mother/baby cow separation, hunting, and Read More
Mud – Part 2 (A fix is in sight!)
Every time it rains now, we get water in our basement. It always comes in near the stairwell and under the door, and occasionally also comes up via the floor drain. We haven’t seen a lot more mud, no more sinkholes or inches of the stuff like we had before, but we do still continue Read More
Leisurely summer
Kiddo broke his arm in a bicycle accident so we’re having a bit more of a leisurely summer than we otherwise might.

Toronto – Blue Jays, Kensington, Chinatown
Today we walked to Kensington and through some of the market, ate at the super fabulous Cosmic Treats (vegan comfort food!), walked through Chinatown, and then kiddo and I went to the Blue Jays vs Yankees game!
Toronto – Aquarium, CN Tower
Yesterday we visited the aquarium and CN Tower, both right by the stadium where the Blue Jays game was going on and within a couple blocks of where we are staying.
Toronto – ROM, Subway, Whole Foods
Today we took the subway and went to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). It has lots and lots of cool stuff, almost too much to take it all in! Kiddo was particularly excited to see the dinosaur bones, especially the t-rex, but enjoyed lots of other aspects too. One of his favorite parts was the miniatures Read More
Toronto! Day 1
We made it from Niagara to Toronto this afternoon and into the airbnb place we’re staying with only a few small issues tripping us up along the way. The building and place itself is pretty great and the internet is nice and strong. We’re on the 20th floor. We found a vegan restaurant for supper, Read More
