Homeward Bound (On, Wisconsin!)

I love it when I can make a title out of nothing but song titles.

Yes, the rumour is true: we're moving to Wisconsin. (The reason you haven't heard the rumour is because I'm starting it now.)

New Jersey is beautifully sunny. The friends we've made here are connected at our core.

But we just can't afford it.

Dinner with Front Row Foundation Co-Founder Jon Vroman

Last week our family had dinner with the Vroman family. Jon Vroman is the Co-Founder of the Front Row Foundation. Their mission is to help individuals and families who are braving critical health challenges “experience life in the front row.” They do this by providing front row seats to concerts, sporting events and live performances of our recipients’ choice.

Meeting a Fellow Traveler Who Can Help You Save on Your Travels

A fellow traveler, Nathan Agin, made it to Philadelphia last week and we made arrangements to meet him in person finally. We've known Nathan for over a year and have chatted by phone and Skype and worked together on some projects. Since we're still in South Jersey, we were able to meet in person in Haddonfield.

Snow in Jersey

We had our first stick-to-the-ground snow here in Blackwood New Jersey the other day. Of course it all melted by lunchtime. Fiona was excited anyhow.

We've all suffered from terrible colds: sneezing, coughing, aches, fevers, yuck, yuck, yuck! I think we're almost all well. I hope we can get out this weekend and enjoy the sunshine and [...]

Living in Blackwood New Jersey for the Winter

Yep, we're living in Blackwood New Jersey for the winter. Technically the physical address we're living at is in Turnersville. But our mailing address is Blackwood. Our son James is coming out in a week or so to stay with us as well. We'll stay through February at least. Unless something drastic happens to change it [...]

South New Jersey in the Fall is Beautiful

We've been in South New Jersey for nearly three weeks now. You probably thought we fell off the face of the earth since we haven't posted much here lately. No, we didn't. We're alive, and even well!

Let me first say that we're enjoying the beautiful fall weather. Seeing all the different colors in trees everywhere is [...]

The Boys Learn Pizza Making Techniques from Joel

Last night our new friend Adam had us come over so Joel could teach him and some of his friends how we make our home made pizza - from dough made from scratch to the sauce made from scratch. What a lot of fun we all had.

House Sitting in Minnesota with Two Boxers, Three Cats and One Homeschooler

We've been house sitting in Saint Paul for about 10 days and have about 10 days to go.  Our host is on vacation in Europe and has two boxers and three cats that needed to be cared for. It's actually not that hard. The boxers are very friendly and most obedient. It was a challenge one [...]
