Around the Homestead

Early Summer on our homestead

It’s warming up here and the garden and flowers and blooming.

We spend many a summer day on our front porch reading, snacking, and sharing a cold drink together.

Aspen and Canyon

The garden is doing so good and the weather is cooperating with rain to keep everything green and growing. So thankful for the girls help everyday to keep it all going.

I am a wife to my wonderful husband and the mama to two beautiful girls adopted from China. We are striving for a simple life. We want to be able to provide ourselves with most of the items we need to survive; only buying things when absolutely necessary. We now strive to provide a portion of our family's food through organic gardening. I cook from scratch, live a fairly frugal lifestyle, and make my own non-toxic cleaning products. Please join us as we stumble toward a more self-sufficient and frugal life together.
