I still can't believe sometimes, just how far I have come with this new lifestyle change (and not just me, but my husband as well!). Part of me feels a bit of regret for not starting sooner -or- sticking

Not sure if anyone is still around... Or if anyone has been reading the (few) posts that I have written thus far. It's been a little bit since my last post and I think I am happy to say that I am back,

Spring is in the air and garden preparations are underway! I am so excited about this year's garden because it will be a new layout, new location, and new approach. Last year, we got a little ahead of

I am on the sweet potato roll this week (because I have had these sweet potatoes for some time now and I don't want them to go to waste, ha!). Today I have a super easy - no fuss breakfast recipe that

For those of us in the northern hemisphere... It's cold and dreary out, right about now. We don't have any projects going on at the moment and probably won't have anything in the works until after Christmas.

I've always been a bit of a procrastinator when it comes to decorating for Christmas. I love the decorations and the lights and seeing other peoples cozy homes all decked out for the holidays and have

Today I thought I would share some photo's of the homestead and a little backstory + future plans we have for around here. Enjoy! We moved here about a year and a half ago. At the time we had been living
