Join Us on Our Journey

Hi. We’re the Browns. In the winter of 2019, we moved from the bustling life of a metropolitan city to a small town three hours north. We downsized our home, simplified our way of life, and started afresh, determined to live with less stress and a more carefree approach.

Ontario isn’t the only province in Canada to celebrate Family Day – Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia also celebrate it. For me, it’s another reason I’ve come to…

The Loneliness of Downsizing and Starting Over

January 29, 2020

One of the things I don’t think gets spoken about often enough is the loneliness that can be felt when downsizing and starting over.
