Hello Ya'll

Well well, it's about damn time! I know.


I often tell my husband (and myself) we should really blog our endeavours for the family and friends who are not always around to experience or see all the fun (and sometimes crazy) things we do. So for my first blog, I'll take a moment to introduce myself and the family and give you all a little insight to US. And what you can expect from our weekly, maybe sometimes daily... blogging.


the garden, in the beggining!



The hubbs, who will be referred to as Pa, and I are a just turned 30 couple who are currently constrained to small city life with our 2 kiddos, Monster our son, is 7 and Peanut our daughter, is 4 (both nicknames given by us or friends..). We live in a modest home with our 4 yr old beagle, Honey and a small farm errupting in our back yard. we have 4 chickens, 3 rabbits and a 374 sqft. garden taking up as much space in the yard as possible without running out of room for kids, and a fire pit of course!


Our focus is family and learning everything we can to be self sustaining, and green.. We're not anywhere near what we would like to be but we're getting there! Hopefully this blog will help us document our growth from our meager beginnings to our eventual goal, a full fledged self sufficient FARM!  We're thrifty and creative and love to repurpose anything into a new and useful life, alot of these projects will be documented in blogs to come....

We do hope that in sharing what we have learned, and will continue to learn along the way, we will inspire our friends, family, and even some new comers to explore any avenues of adventure they find interesting or exciting!  Until we meet again, do what makes you happy!
