Throwback to this spring, doing a beefy womping willow for the RM of Victoria beach with @terranovatrees

Phil's first time in a lift! Not really needed for this one, but sure made it quicker to get to the next 2 dead trees 100 ft down the waterfront!

Nothing like hammering out a "quick after work job" with @terranovatrees up in Victoria Beach!

4 balsam firs down in a tight spot, including stumps ground and full clean up after a full day doing FireSmart work for the municipality.

One of the balsams was beginning to fail and tip over.. and about to fall on their cottage.. so it had to be done ASAP

Done in just under 4 hours, was TIGHT getting the bucket truck through the back, having to rope some trees over to fit through, but it worked!

Been a while since I've posted so it's time for some photos dumps now that I'm finally taking some days off!

Great time working with @terranovatrees slaying some balsam firs up in Victoria Beach!

Thanks to phil for letting me tackle the tall bugger while he tackles the ugly co-dom in the second pic! 8 trees taken down on this property and one of 2 big jobs we finished in 2 days!

WINNIPEG: A marketing workshop for hippies? It's true.

Hey friends! We’ve been in touch with Marketing for Hippies about bringing their daylong Marketing for Hippies 101 workshop to town.

The workshop runs 9-5. It’s led by Tad Hargrave. It’s run on a PWYC basis (with a $25 deposit).

It's for those who know they need to market but who hate marketing.

We are thinking of sometime in September.

It's Tad’s signature workshop that he’s led for the past twenty years around the world on how to market in a way that is not only ethical but also effective.

It's about how to market your business in a way that feels genuinely good for all involved.

It’s for people who want to market in a way that is deeply respectful, trauma-informed, consent-based, conscience-driven, courteous, and that honours the dignity of everyone involved (including you).

It’s for people who want to market without the inauthentic self-promotion, high-pressure sales tactics or manipulating anyone.

If you're a healer, life coach, small farmer, herbalist, permie or other service provider this could be a particularly good fit.

Please reply/DM with your email address ASAP to let us know if you could make it for sure during that time and we’ll put your email address on a list. We will not share these emails with anyone, and will only hold onto them until the workshop is scheduled in order to contact you to let you know as soon as we can if it’s a go.

🌳 A few shots from the past couple days 🌳

We’re at it; a bigger project at the Concert Hall for a few days, some small storm damage, Garrett’s first crispy Spruce removal and a beauty Oak to cleanup & cable.

Some help from @the_barkman & @terranovatrees along the way.

Spring has sprung! Give us a call to check up on your trees.

I hope they always know what Home feels like.

The light through the trees.
Their bare feet connected with the Earth, rough on tree bark, soft in soil.
The warmth of the Sun on their bodies.
The sounds and smells of the living woods.
The appreciation of growing food.
The joy in doing things together as a family.
The beauty in each season that passes.

I hope the Home that lives in their hearts feels like deep love, connection, and gratitude.

📷 @caitlinlouiiisa thank so much for following us around our property capturing “magic in the mundane”. ✨

Job last fall with @terranovatrees Phil got to slap the spurs on and save the day piecing out the last of the stem after I blew a hydraulic hose on the bucket truck. Luckily it happened on the last tree of the job!

Did you know our company name; Terra Nova means New Earth?
We chose it because we believe in a mindful approach to caring for the land and wilderness we are fortunate to steward.

Every season we try to do more, to give back:
• planting a tree for every removal in a season! 🌳
• repurposing chip in a multitude of ways!
• inoculating dead oak logs with mushroom spores to provide our family with food 🍄
• firewood to help heat our home in winter! 🪵

Thankful. ✨🤍

10 years ago this August, we promised forever; “through Hell and high water.”
These past 6 months put us through just that.

You would never know, looking at our sweet, smiling boy, the misery he’s endured. The insane levels of sleep deprivation and pain, from acid reflux that reigned for months on end.

I’ve thought countless times about how I might share our story along the way…
but when we were in the thick of it, the sorrow felt while trying to survive this difficult time was drowning us.
It felt impossible to rise and connect.

So I tread lightly on social media, we leaned into any bright moments we could manage through summer, I slept every second I was able to steal.. as I spent hours upon hours holding Shiloh, pacing through the nights while he endured reflux episodes, unable to settle.

You really learn the depths of your community when you go through something like this. Something that bends you til you break and then some.

So on this weekend of shedding light for Thankfulness, I want to share our immense gratitude for the relentless support of my parents, family, friends, neighbours.. the countless waves of meals, hugs, words of encouragement, ears to listen, shoulders to cry on, babysitting O while I went to specialist appt after appt with Shi, holding him while I showered or napped, walking our dogs, picking up groceries, you name it. We had the support.

We just didn’t have the answers, until recently.
It’s too long and complicated to share in any one post as to How, Why, and WTF happened to cause and then cure Shiloh’s silent acid reflux.

The point is, he’s been off meds for weeks now without a single episode.
AND last week Shi was cleared by the ENT that his anatomical ability to swallow was perfect, inflammation was no longer present, and it was safe for us to begin sleep training without fear of him aspirating on his own saliva.

I’m so freaking thrilled to say, we are all sleeping longer than 15-45min at a time now, and our world has completely changed for the better.

Thankful. 🤍

These photos taken by my bro @wildhousemedia last week will forever bring tears to my eyes as a mile marker for the shift in our story.

Phil shares his incredible journey on this weeks episode 🙌

This picture was Phil’s last shift. He knew that he stood to lose more than just himself in the battle with PTSD.

As a father he knew he needed to walk away from the job. To save himself and his family.
