🕯️ The longest night of the year

An Off Grid Life

Hey there,

We're in the final stretch before Christmas. Your to-do lists may seem long, and the pressure is high.

But I want to remind you of something: You are doing a good job.

Your kids (or grandkids) won't remember whether the house was perfectly spotless or whether the wrapping paper matched.

They will remember the feeling of home you created.

They will remember that you were present.

Tonight, try to turn off the noise.

Light a candle.

Read a book.

Simplicity is where the joy is.

And with that, I'm signing off until the New Year.

However you celebrate this time of year, please remember to enjoy time with your loved ones, to get outdoors as much as you can, and to rest.

An Off Grid Life Maple season is almost here Hi friend, If you’ve been thinking about tapping trees this year, this is a good week to get your ducks (or buckets) in a row. I realize tree tapping season varies across North America. When we lived in southern Ontario many years ago, March break fell in the prime maple syrup season. My sons and I enjoyed checking out the many maple syrup festivals in the area. Back at home in the Northwest Territories, the maple trees (if any) are ornamental and...
