    I know I am spoiled a bit

    The electric blanket goes under 2 big fluffy quilts and over one heavyish flannel sheet. Very warm!! I am to old to sleep on the ground. So we have a good bed inside the van. We have some insulated window covers and we carry extra covers but this time because of the electric blankets we did not...

    I know I am spoiled a bit

    So just to be clear hubby and I do not live in our van, just road trip and camping.... He still has a REALLY hard time staying or getting warm. So I was worried that he would be cold on our first planned outing this spring. I have a Jackery and use it mostly on fridge and microwave, but this...

    time to pack up, but what to start with...

    We're getting ready to start some camping again. And that means food thoughts again. We plan on doing some short trips to start and I don't want to over pack. (something I always seem to do). I want to do some fire with a stick cooking cause clean up is sooo easy. I have made lots of goodies...

    Eco Friendly Alternatives

    I am not trying to discourage all you science folks that know so much more than me about all this, but I would again like to see some of the ways you are all doing whatever to slow down your own plastic eco methods. I hate all the plastic I seem to use when out and about. But also know I don't...

    How do you stretch your income?

    Hubby is a real painful numbers guy. He is a budget nut case. We shop sales and thrift stores. I cook mostly from scratch, and we drive older cars. We got a reverse mortgage. and we live in an area where our equity is still growing faster than our mortgage is. We are drowning in doc bills but...
