Tricks and hack to make you love camping, even if you think it’s “not your thing”.
In the planning stages, it’s all about the money.Oh my goodness, living that hustle-and-bustle city life is expensive!

Big mortgages, big child-care costs to cover those long hours you have to work, and expensive fuel costs so you can get to the job to work the long hours, all that.It all adds up and you can really feel like the only way to get ahead is to stay put in your tiny townhouse, put budgeting ahead of everything else, and just work work work until hopefully you move up the corporate ladder and maybe get a bit of a raise.Those were exciting and character-building years for us for sure, but when I reached the ripe old age of 27 and our daughter Kennedy was about 5, I was done with it.

I remember the exact moment when we realized there might be a loophole in “the system” and we might be able to actually get that big house on that big property that we wanted our kids to remember growing up in AND actually lower our cost-of-living.As soon as that idea hit, we were ON it!

Within a few months, we’d changed our whole lives and have never had to look back.
Let’s look at how THAT managed to happen for us, shall we?.I had these little cutters, which are actually for pie pastry and then we made the holes with a straw.
The drying time was about 2 days.. It’s hard to see where I hung them because of the unfinished half-painted un-chair-railed wall behind them, but you can kind of get the effect..I still have a whole bowl left of these that I have no idea where to hang.
I really just wanted to do this to see if it would work!.You can bet this little project is going to make another appearance come Christmas tree decorating time!I’ve had quite a few comments lately about my spoons that I have in my dining room.
