Grocery shopping, meal planning, cooking, and eating in an RV

April 18, 2023August 23, 2014 by Bryanna

One of the questions I get asked a lot is “What do you guys eat when you are living in an RV”? The funny thing is we eat pretty much the same things we ate when we lived in a house. Our RV has a convection oven/microwave unit and we have a gas range. That …

Rainy Days in an RV

July 31, 2023August 19, 2014 by Bryanna

Rainy days in an RV can be interesting to say the least! The amount of space we have is limited and everyone likes to be close to me and each other – so it isn’t like people disappear to their bed to read a book or watch a movie by themselves yet (I know the …

RV Laundry

April 18, 2023August 17, 2014 by Bryanna

Laundry, Laundry, Laundry . . . the never-ending task! With 6 people in the family we have a decent amount of laundry. At the house I had a really nice front loading washer and dryer. But it never felt like I could get caught up on the laundry! In the RV I have a mini Front Loading …

Waterfalls at Tahquamenon Falls!

April 25, 2023August 15, 2014 by Bryanna

I could not wait to visit the waterfalls at Tahquamenon Falls!! There is something about waterfalls that intrigues me. I always thought it would be awesome to swim in a crystal clear pool of water with a waterfall behind you – that you could swim under and behind. I never thought that Michigan would have …

Mackinac Island and Saint Ignace, Michigan

April 25, 2023August 15, 2014 by Bryanna

Our next stop was Saint Ignace! Our plan was to stay here and then take the Ferry to Mackinac Island! We had to cross the bridge to get there and that was a scary experience! It felt like we were going to fall off the edge but we made it! And the bridge is really …

Traverse City Michigan – Rain, Water, Trains, and Chocolate!

April 25, 2023August 11, 2014 by Bryanna

Our next stop was Traverse City, Michigan. We had heard great things about the City so we were excited to check it out! We pulled into the Traverse City State Park Campground and it was TIGHT!! We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to back the RV in or not and it …

Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan

April 25, 2023August 9, 2014 by Bryanna

Climbing up and Running down Sleeping Bear Dunes! If you are going to be going to Michigan you need to see the Sleeping Bear Dunes. They are amazing! Granted we only made it up the first 2 hills but I can only imagine what the rest of it looked like! I would love to return …

Boondocking at Walmart

April 25, 2023August 5, 2014 by Bryanna

We left for Michigan on a Friday – after Craig got home from work. We planned on boondocking at a Walmart for Friday night. No Walmart is not a brushy area – but you get the idea! It actually works out really great! Almost all Walmart’s offer this service and all you have to do is …

Unschooling – Socialization

July 27, 2023August 5, 2014 by Bryanna

Socialization . . . where to begin 🙂 Yes we were concerned when we first started talking about homeschooling and now were not. One of our main reasons for homeschooling is that our families relationship and time together was more important than anything else. We socialize all day long with each other! What a great way to learn how to interact with other people!
