In the past few months, we have turned a storm damaged yurt into an eco-friendly, toxic-free, funky home for our family. And it was made mostly with recycled and natural materials. Last night my wife and three of our kids officially moved in and slept on our new wood floor, lit a fire in our […]
Sounds like a kid’s bedtime story, doesn’t it? Well, that is where you can find us right now. How did we get here, you may ask. Well, here are some catch-up snippets and photos.
