Who is The Cottage Wife?

Hi! I'm Carol - The Cottage Wife. My husband Brian and I had a cottage on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada for over 10 years. It turns out that we love the area so much we're going to build our forever (retirement) home here. I thought it would be fun to share some of our adventures with you. One of the things we really want to focus on is making as light an impact on the land as we can, while still living a modern life. We'll see how that goes!
