hotel nomads, for now

By MoBerries at 3:12 PM No comments

Ah, just when we think we are ready to hit the road, we hit another stumbling block, instead. So, as I pack up our belongings to move, not into our dream RV, but yet another hotel, I guess I will be examining tiny living, hotel style for at least a few more months. Sigh. In the first few hours, I...

I love photos. And, anytime I can come up with a reason to post one, two, twenty, I will do it. As I try to fill up more hours waiting to hear back on so many details of our RV essentials-financing, warranties, inspectors, etc, my nerves are exploding. So, I decided to calm them down by reminding...

young family camping in late 1980s Today, we start fresh. I will sprinkle a few posts into this blog to give an idea of where we started from, but this is truly where we begin our RV life. Forest River Sabre 36BHQ Eight years ago we moved from my dream house on an acre and a quarter with...

A whole new world

Way back in August of 2016, I learned I am allergic to wheat, milk, sesame and soy. Other foods like egg whites, peanuts, shrimp, walnuts were also on the foods to avoid list. Since then, it has been a journey of learning a whole new way to look at food and cooking.

My youngest daughter, Natalie has helped me create recipes that are, at times gluten-free, sometimes just wheat-free, and yes, there is a difference.

While this blog began as a food/recipe only blog, our life has changed 180 degrees in the past couple of years.

In September of 2019, we became a 100% RV living family of three. After just over a year and a half of both fulltime RVing and worldwide pandemic, we turned in our keys and put the trailer into storage.

This sunshiny blog records the craziness of our lives and is now the perfect place to document another momentous life change. As I write this, I am still surrounded by boxes, so many boxes. And so little furniture.

We spent 15 months being hotel nomads. 21 tucked inside an RV. What the future holds from here, it is hard to say. Today, I am watching a couple of house finches build a nest in my begonia plant hanging out on our new patio. Life is good.

As we lay our RV dreams to rest, I will continue to document the triumphs and challenges of downsizing from house to apartment to hotel to our successful goal of full time RV living and now back into an apartment.

There are plenty of trails to hike and oceans vistas to gaze upon.

As always, we will new recipes using our IP (instant pot) once I find the electric cord, missing from the move. And, for the first time in over three years, we have a real oven…macarons, corn bread, MEAT LOAF! Oh, so many possibilities. Recipes to come!

These first few days, we are enjoying just having space to breathe. Hope you enjoy this journey as much as we do. Time to get this show off the ROAD, setup and ready for new adventures.

By the way, I write as I roll, please excuse any misspellings. I will come back and fix them at some point. Life is busy, busy, busy.
