Right Now (and the winner of Fresh)

6 Comments

The winner of the Fresh giveaway is Kira. Be sure to check the book out for wonderfully simple and delicious salad and dressing recipes for all seasons.

Right now, I am…

  • Trying to soak up this lovely season and the small slice of it we can enjoy in this hectic time.
  • Marveling at the van load upon van load of stuff we keep getting rid of when we thought we already had it pared down.
  • Liking how neat it looks to have almost all of what we own fit in to 15 totes… plus a few coolers, buckets and bags.
  • Thankful for helpers big and small who are making this possible when my ever-growing belly shows me my limitations.
  • Amazed that we will start this journey in just a couple of days. My, how time flies.
  • Thankful for this road that lies ahead and excited to see what it holds.

What are you up to these days?

Deep Summer

The days were warm, the nights cooler, the sun visibly moving from summer to fall. The season of abundance was upon us and the dehydrator ran consistently with trays of peppers, herbs, zucchini, and various fruits and berries. The freezer was stuffed daily with freshly picked blueberries and bunches of cilantro and parsley. Tomatoes were…

the house that He built

I am watching – baby on my hip and jaw on the floor- as a house takes form. It wasn’t so long ago, you see, that such a thing was unfathomable to me. They say you shouldn’t live in your house while it’s being built. They say you need so many square feet per person….

So She Planted

Her fever broke early that morning and her head was only partly aching by breakfast. All six of her children except the baby were down with less severe symptoms, a pot of soup was brought by her sweet neighbor, and a new batch of Mabel’s butter was on the table so there was much to…

The Homestead: 5.18.17

Somehow this week has been filled beyond the usual with various homestead projects. I suspect it started with Kitty who welcomed Millie to the homestead very late Monday night. This was our first kidding on the homestead and I was completely taken off guard with just how exciting and day-filling that process would be. After…

  2. I so wish I was closer to you – I would buy one of those wicker baskets and that incredible jar with lid sitting on the old suitcase… ah well

    I wish you a safe and uneventful trip – remember don’t have that baby on the way (LOL) – get settled first.

    Hugs to you all, looking forward to a last post before leaving and then the first post when settling down.

  5. All of this is just so amazing and I’m so happy for you. My partner and I have been purging ourselves of unneeded and unwanted things lately and we have been donating and recycling what we don’t need, but I still find it hard to get rid of things. I really admire how you can do it. One step at a time! You are truly an inspiration. We hope to have our own homestead…someday. I’m looking forward to your future posts!

  6. I’ve just found you via Lifasaplate.com. Made your coconut flour pancakes this morning. Delicious! Even my two year old loved them.

    Will have to read up more on this downsize and your trip. I write about minimalism for families so getting down to 15 totes sounds awesome to me!! Congrats!
