I am taking a break to finish writing two books so listen to my encore show this week.

The newly weds have bought two blue and gold Macaws, they are 4 weeks old and featherless.  

We decide not to paint our London flat in readiness for putting it on the market. 

I am excited this week to be talking to Renee Tougas who lives on the side of a mountain in the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec in Canada. 

She and her husband homeschool their three children ages 14, 12 and 10.  They are location independent, which means they can both work from home wherever they are.  

Together they are a family of outdoors enthusiasts, designers and artists, adventurers, programmers and homemakers, naturalists, sewists and idealists and followers in the way of Christ.  So now you understand why I’m excited!  

Renee describes herself as a creative spirit with a practical perspective and down-to-earth approach.  She excels at getting things done and managing the details but doesn’t forget to smell the daisies by appreciating and capturing the beauty around her. 

Renee brings her love for intentional family living, enthusiasm for the natural world, and a passion for lifelong learning to everything she does.

This Friday she is bringing all that and a cup of tea to my show so come and join us and get to know this fascinating woman whose blog is an acronym for Fun in My Back Yard.
