I have had friends rave about period cups for years, extolling the virtues of their convenience and environmental-friendliness, but I was admittedly resistant to the idea. The thought of putting a large silicon thing up there didn't sound appealing...

My husband Chris had his birthday this past January. While I had to cancel and re-book plans to whisk him away for special celebratory staycation plans due to his busy work schedule, this past weekend we finally got to do it. Since provincial COVID restrictions were still in effect...c

If you're like me, you've been feeling like you have been spending a little too much time at home over the holidays. I've been jonesing to get out snowshoeing, even do a little winter camping, but have been reluctant to go to the usual local trails...

A couple of months ago, Chris and I did an overnight kayaking trip to Granite Falls at Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park (aka Indian Arm Provincial Park). When the forecast was warm and sunny, rare for October, I decided to take advantage and do another overnighter at "The Arm" to Twin Islands.

Everyone loves sausage stuffed peppers, and this recipe pays homage to the classic recipe but without all the high-carb rice. The way I do it these makes it easy for them to be frozen and cooked up over a campfire or grill, making them an awesome, no-fuss, minimal clean-up meal for camping.

Two weeks ago, Chris and I were wanted to get in another quick overnight kayaking trip to keep improving our skills. We had wanted to go to Halkett Marine Park on Gambier Island, but the forecast wasn't good for that area. We changed our location to Harrison River, which had a better forecast.

Now that Chris and I have done our Sea Kayaking Level 2 training, we're looking for more kayaking getaways to help us hone our skills. I've wanted to check out Granite Falls at Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park (aka Indian Arm Provincial Park) for a while, so we decided to do an overnight getaway...

I was looking for an unscented toothpaste so I didn’t have to worry about it attracting bears and other animals since they are particularly active there and I was hiking solo to boot. Not finding one I could buy conveniently, I discovered that you could make your own unscented tooth powder...

Need a low-fat carb-up snack that's portable for hiking? These cinnamon raisin oat clusters are a perfect replacement for store-bought granola bars that are usually packed with refined sugar. They're kind of like a bowl of oatmeal with a pop of protein in snack form.
