For us, working while traveling full-time means that we need a fast, stable, unlimited internet setup. And with more and more people hitting the road each year, it looks like RV manufacturers are finally starting to pay attention.

Back in 2017, when we were finishing up our 6 month renovation of our 1972 Airstream, it was time to start thinking about cushions.
With the project already over budget, we were trying to get it done as quickly and as cheaply as possible. Things like cushions and mattresses didn’t get much thought, honestly.
We went with the cheapest solution we could find, which turned out to be your standard highly toxic foam.
We knew it wasn’t the best option, but for just $300 we could get everyone a mattress and cushions for the dinette up front. Add in fabric at around $150 and a sweet Amish lady who sewed our cushion covers for just $200, it was a steal!
After nearly 3 years in the Airstream on the same foam cushions, it was time for an upgrade. I researched for weeks trying to find the perfect solution. We had a few goals in mind - we wanted them to be:
We managed 2 out of 3 :)
My research lead us to Home of Wool. They're a company in Europe that is dedicated to making the highest quality items from the purest materials possible. I actually heard of them through our friend @thestreamlinedlife when she purchased mattresses for her kids beds in their RV.
Before we committed to ordering our bedding, we decided to try out their pillows. Ours really needed replaced, so this would give us an idea of the quality so we could decide if we were ready to make the investment of wool mattresses and cushions.
Believe me, this was a big investment. Not only in terms of your budget, but in your health and wellness.
We received the pillows quickly and the craftsmanship was extremely impressive. I mean, it’s just a pillow, but their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We ordered the standard pillows and wool pillow protectors.

Though we've been stationary in Knoxville for a month, we were able to take a week and go on a mini adventure to Mammoth Cave National Park.
Jonathan and I take a trip alone to San Antonio!
And we visited the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for the first time as a family.

We made it to Knoxville a little earlier than planned to see Jonathan's family who we haven't seen in nearly a year!
Sickness crept in and took over most of our 2 weeks there, but we were able to declutter our home...again, give it a good scrub before we left town.
