We’re a happy little family living in suburban central Ohio. Hubs is a minister, which has led to a fairly transient life to this point. Consequently, we don’t make much money and we don’t own our home. And we’re okay with that. To us, these challenges are just that – challenges. Not roadblocks. We live in a rental, yes, but we’re determined to make the most of our space.
The sustainable simple living lifestyle has always appealed to us. It just always felt unattainable given our vocation. There are things we already do, but now we have decided: we’re gonna dive in! We’re hoping that we learn that homesteading and simple living doesn’t have to mean you cook your food over an open fire all the time, or that you have to hand wash your clothes (which makes this city girl start to hyperventilate). We’re hoping to find that it’s not that hard. We’re hoping that it will save us money. Mostly we expect that it will bring our whole family a lot of satisfaction! We don’t know where this will lead, but we’re inviting you along for the ride!
Stopping by from a blog hop. Would love for you to come check out my site and possibly follow GFC. Also check out my giveaway for a Technogel Pillow $170! Thanks

What a great family and experiment!! New to blogging, I was excited to come across yours because I, too, am a city girl with a homesteaders heart and I just love your blog and everything it stands for. I can’t wait to follow your blog and read about new adventures from your family… it may inspire some for ours (I’m thinking about going to my craft store for some fabric to make some cloth napkins this afternoon!)!
Thanks! Glad you’re coming along for the ride!
If you make napkins I’d love to hear about how it goes.
I’m glad I came across your blog and can’t wait to read more. Love the simple life.
Glad to have you along for the ride!
