Finally got my hands on the Milwaukee Compact Bandsaw. Unboxed it, threw the blade on, and gave it a quick test run.

Solid build, smooth start, and feels surprisingly balanced for its size. This one’s going to earn its keep fast.

Didn’t have a concrete vibrator on hand… so I made one.

Multitool + EMT = problem solved.

It might not be fancy, but it got the job done — and that’s what matters most. Sometimes it’s not about having the right tool, it’s about being the right kind of problem solver.

Showed my little guy how the guitar works today — strings, frets, tuning pegs, and sound. It’s wild how curious kids are when you slow down long enough to explain the things we take for granted.

The sky was alive tonight — greens, purples, and blues weaving across the dark like it was breathing.

No filter, no rush, just stillness and awe. Nights like this remind you how much wonder is still out there if you just look up.

Day two of the carnivore month — feeling a little sluggish, but that’s part of the process. My body’s switching gears from carbs to fat, and it’s reminding me how much energy balance really comes from what we eat.

Coffee, salt, beef, eggs. Simple.

We’ll see how I’m feeling in a few more days.

Taught my daughter how to change a tire today. Hands-on learning — jack, lugs, and a little elbow grease. 🚗

These are the lessons that stick — the kind that build confidence and self-reliance.

Found a scrape and some fresh scat while out hunting today — plenty of signs, but the only deer I saw was from the truck on the way out. Bucks came out right after legal light. That’s how it goes sometimes. 🦌

Turned leftover beef broth into a slow cooker French onion soup tonight. Added a bit of bacon for extra flavour and let it simmer low and slow.

Didn’t have baguette or Gruyère on hand this time, but for a ‘use what you’ve got’ meal, it turned out pretty great. 🍲

Some mornings heading out to the bush feels straight out of a horror movie — dark, foggy, quiet. But that’s the part I love most. The stillness before the day really starts. 🌲

Our real job as parents is to work ourselves out of one. Watching my son make his own eggs this morning reminded me that every small skill we teach moves them closer to confidence and independence. 🍳

Lesson one: teaching my daughter how to make a bar stock pointy. Using playdough! 🔨

Every blacksmith starts here learning how to move the metal, how the hammer feels, and how a little patience changes everything.

Kids biking around the cottage today 🚲

There’s something about this country feel that slows everything down in the best way.

It’s apple season, which means the dehydrator has been running nonstop. 🍎

Batch after batch, we’re slicing, drying, and stocking up for snacks that last all winter. Nothing fancy, just homegrown (or locally picked) apples turned into something simple and practical.

Tonight the kids helped prep peppers for dinner 🌶️

Knife safety, focus, and learning how food gets to the table. practical skills they’ll use their whole lives.

Handy!

Red green is great

We love muchkin, we introduced it into family game night a while ago…i think its time for another go around next one.

Ripped work pants don’t mean new ones.

A quick stitch and they’re good for another round.

The economy’s tight, and skills like sewing keep money in your pocket and clothes out of the landfill. They don’t have to be pretty just functional.

Pulled our first carrots out of the garden today — palm-sized and the biggest we’ve grown yet. 🥕✨

It’s a small thing, but there’s nothing like watching the garden give back after months of waiting.

Apple cobbler night — made by my daughter 🍎

Simple ingredients, cozy flavors, and gone fast.

Wrapped in cinnamon, sugar, and butter — just the way it should be.

Wrapped up the last of the deck boards today

My little guy was right there with me, helping drive in the screws with the impact (with a little backup from Dad)

Feels good to finish a project with some extra small hands making it happen

Found some small holes in the roof while working today.

Looks like it could be hail damage but I’m not 100% sure.

Any roofer pros have thoughts?

Happy Birthday to the sweetest mama we know

This year’s cake was baked with extra love—because our daughter has officially caught the baking bug. She wanted to make something special all by herself… so we ended up with a chocolate strawberry shortcake that’s full of heart (and icing).

Watching her measure, mix, and decorate—just to make you smile—was the real gift.

We love you. And we’re lucky to be learning from you every day. 💛. #FamilyTraditions #BakingWithKids #HappyBirthdayMama #StrawberryShortcake #LittleBaker #MomLifeMagic #ChocolateCakeLove #HomemadeWithLove #SweetMoments #WildHeartLegacy
