Finn Turns 2

This past Wednesday was Finn’s 2nd birthday and the one year anniversary of his adoption. He celebrated by rolling in very liquidy poop on his morning walk. It was super gross and he was so satisfied with himself. Ew. (Don’t worry- he got a birthday bath.) Over the course of…

How Much Did Our Conversion Cost? / Skoolie Q & A / Video

We get asked a lot about the cost of doing a conversion. Friends, family members, people at gas stations, all over the place and it was one of my biggest concerns going into the conversion. Luckily, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, we could…

Mike and I were talking about our Internet woes and he asked me if we were considered digital nomads. I had never heard of the term but it’s really just about what it sounds like. Digital nomads are people who make their living via telecommunications (generally the Internet) and can…

Getting Our Daily Driver Back

I have a 2013 Honda Fit. It was the first car I ever purchased (all on my little lonesome) and the first new car I’ve ever owned. I love it. When we moved from Florida to Texas we were originally planning on towing the Honda with us. However, we weren’t…
