High Flying with a Pocket Disc

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Reviews

Special thanks to Pocket Disc for providing a sample of their sport pocket disc for us to test out in our home. All opinions are our own based upon our personal experiences with the product. But I don’t want to give it back. I like it too much! Wiley immediately fell in the love with the Pocket Disc. The fact that we could play with it both inside and outside could have something to do with that. Plus, he loves that the 100% cotton disc is soft and easy to catch. The Pocket Disc is a fair trade product that…

Project Truck: Stripping Down Donor Truck

Posted in Family, and In the Garage

It’s hard to believe that it’s been so long since I’ve posted an update on Munchkin’s project truck, but life got in the way of being able to really work on the truck.

This post may contain affiliate links. As a family, we enjoy going out and exploring the desert. On days like yesterday, when it’s in the high 90s, it’s probably not the best of days to head out, but since we have ac in D’s truck, we still went out. This time, unlike when we’ve gone out in the past however many years, it was just D and I. Munchkin needed to work…

Wildfire Season: Safety Tips

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

We woke up this morning to a sky filled with smoke. It made for an amazing sunrise, but breathing in ash and smoke kind of takes away some of the beauty. It was a reminder that wildfire season is upon us. Since moving to the desert, we’ve experienced several different wildfires, but thankfully, we’ve never had to be evacuated. That being said, we always make sure that we’re ready “just in case” when wildfire season begins. We recently spent a good bit of time creating a defensible space around our home. It’s a lot of work, but it feels good…
