Finding “The Thing”

When life gets complicated or takes an unexpected turn it’s critical to have a “thing” to turn to. One that urges you to climb out of bed, comb your hair, and go on when you think that you can’t. The “thing” that makes your heart sing and gets you excited about something outside yourself.

Home Dehydrating

In this crazy time of uncertainty many of us have turned to locally sourced meat and produce, not to mention growing our own gardens. And of course hunting. I have always looked for ways of being more self sufficient, and with recent grocery store madness this just proved it. I am happy to have more food put by, canned, frozen and dehydrated. There's no better feeling than to go grocery shopping in your own pantry!

Lake Superior's North Shore

The North Shore of Lake Superior is a place of beauty in Minnesota. This is the largest of the 5 Great Lakes in North America and it is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area (third place by volume). Whether you visit this area in the fall to see the vibrant color change of the leaves, the winter to explore the ski trails and try ice fishing, or the summer months to enjoy the hiking and beautiful beaches that line this Great Lake; the area never fails to impress. We took a much needed family vacation up the North Shore and everyone had an amazing time! These were just a few of our favorite stops from our quick family getaway. (Note: There are so many stops along this shore that one post could never cover them all. We have also frequented the area for years, so our stops are a bit less "touristy" than some but there's something for everyone along the Shore.)
