Tips and tricks blogging. If you're reading this post, chances are that you either have a blog of your own, or regularly read those of others. Following up from a brief post last month. A few more Fernweh staffers are sharing their thoughts on blogging this month. What do you say? It's not the words in your story, it's the story in your story. An ode to denim shorts. Shirt: vintage, shorts: hacked-up jeans). And this summer is going to be an ode to denim shorts, and to the lifestyle that comes with them&...

A semi-autobiography in eight parts. II You like tea more than coffee but you drink coffee because on days when you relent to a cup of tea you become afraid that you're turning into your mother. You drink it anyways and remember the best moments of childhood. IV You grow playlists slowly on your computer, choosing the songs carefully. You're trying to bring that feeling back with the music. Maybe nostalgia is the closest you'll ever get. VI You type fast, "maybe someday," and hit send. Rituals are a beau...

A change of scenery. Some favourite moments from Camp Arnes in October. Backpacks and garbage bags piled up to the ceiling on The Little Bus Who (barely) Could. Boys jumping in the lake. In the minus twenty. At night. For the last cookie. S'mores in the dining hall. Girl talk in Room Seven. Evenings for courage and crying together. A German Christmas market. Does it get more Christmassy than the Christmas market in Munich, with the smells of gluhwein. Campfire bars (in jars). 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows.

Featuring two of Joni Mitchell's versions and three covers). If I were to curate a list of my favourite Joni Mitchell songs, Big Yellow Taxi wouldn't ordinarily take top spot. I much prefer the story of Cactus Tree. Or singing along to California. Or feeling heartbroken to A Case Of You. But on a day like today, Big Yellow Taxi is what I needed. There's a deeper political and environmental meaning to it but when I listen to it, there is also just a message of, "go outside.". Do you have a song like this?

I don't remember Halloween ever being a big deal when I was younger; I've been trick-or-treating a handful of times and we generally get a pumpkin, but I don't have many strong memories attached to it or anything. In barely ten years, traditions have been shifting. I think this year's Halloween, for those of us 'celebrating' it, might just be the spookiest yet. Tips and tricks motivation. This month, we're talking motivation. As the fun of a new school year wears off and the hard work really starts, ...

In October, I emailed Katie of BIRD AND WILLOW. Asking her to put together a Fernweh lookbook. These lookbooks. Are full of pretty pictures and words of inspiration, and I'm so grateful for both her willingness to create this and the opportunity to share these photos and a visual representation of what fernweh. Means with you. Thank you so much, Katie! For the love of pomegranates. A photo a recipe for spiced pomegranate apple cider. Fishing: a photo essay. Writing about writing part one. But I've wrote ...

It's just something we do on the way home from the city. As much as we love these outings, they get overwhelming and we usually end up holding hands at some point (forever small-town girls). Our to-do lists go a little something like this: this store, that store, coffee shop, hay bales. We drive back with scratches on our hands and straw in our shorts and it almost feels just like home. Ghosts from the past. 35mm film from Colorado Arizona. What are your favourite summer foods? A home in the valley.
