I get really frustrated with people very easily. It's a terrible terrible flaw I have. Let me tell you what frustrates me most about people: Somewhere along the way we got our priorities all mixed up. As I say this I try to think back in time to when this could have happened, but there … Continue reading Maybe I just think differently

We made wine! well, sort of…
Back in July or so we helped someone harvest their bee hives. It was quite a large harvest and we received a bit of honey in return. We made the grand decision to try our hand at making meade. We had never made wine before, didn't really know what we were doing, but decided it … Continue reading We made wine! well, sort of…
One Step Forward…
I'm sure you all know the saying, one step forward two steps back. Well, right now it's more like half a step back, or maybe two steps forward one step back. I have the hardest time with saving money BECAUSE if I dont remove the money from my account as soon as I get it … Continue reading One Step Forward…
I’m sick…
I'm sick, which almost never happens. It used to. I used to get sick at least 6 times a year. In the past four years I have been sick maybe twice each year? What do I attribute to this? I'm not sure, I'm no doctor and I'm not about to tell people how to live. … Continue reading I’m sick…

The end of week 1
I should know by now not to doubt the amazingness of life. God does wonderful things and it's when I give up trying to control things that He always comes through for me. I started writing this post yesterday. This is what it said: Welcome to the end of week 1. The super frustrating end … Continue reading The end of week 1
The ups and the downs
When you start something, especially something exciting and scary, there is a huge roller coaster effect where at first there are really high up and really low lows until eventually it evens out but you have to go through those crazy ups and downs to get through it. If you just give up you will … Continue reading The ups and the downs
To cow or not to cow?
Tonight C and I discussed whether it not to have a milk cow on the property. Here is what we came up with: Pros: fresh milk every day. Fresh butter, cream, we could make cheese. Lots and lots of fresh yummy dairy goodness. Cons: This is where it gets interesting... C: we would have to … Continue reading To cow or not to cow?
What is an earthship?
When I tell people our plans of building an earthship oftentimes I get a blank stare. That's ok! I had one too when I first heard the term three weeks ago. C however has been hearing about them since he was little. His dad always wanted to build one. So the premise of an earthship … Continue reading What is an earthship?
