This is definitely one of my more random posts, but I just thought that by putting it out into the Universe, it tells the Universe that this is exactly what I want. Recently I went to a birthday party and while I was there, my stepmom arrived with a newspaper article. She handed it to …

So, the oddest thing just happened to me. I wrote a grim review on TripAdvisor about this “luxury” campsite that we stayed at in Citrusdal and in return I got a message from someone about how her and her husband have never been camping but would like to. She asked if I could give them …
When the night feels short and you awaken to a grey sky more than twice in one week, I don’t know about you, but I start to daydream of holidays long passed and sunny beaches. Don’t get me wrong, I love the rain and how it keeps my plants alive so I don’t have to …
