After a long break, I am back to blogging. Boy does it feel good to be writing again! The last few years have been quite a whirlwind. A lot of personal growth has and continues to occur, and even more learning. When it all first started to explode (or implode depending on your perception), I…
First Year Update The year has not quite gone as planned. Who am I kidding? Nothing has gone even remotely close to our general plan. I could go on and on – I’ll spare yall the details and just give highlights. By September, we had managed to get the house “live-ably dry”. Is that even…
To say I have been busy busy is an understatement. You would think we would have a custom built mansion. Alas, that is not the case. So what have you been slaving over Ms Belle? Grab your cup, follow me around and I'll show you! We have a fridge! Yall. Seriously. After 2 years being…
My focus for the year is to get the house finished and the homestead up and running. I had thought about making debt payoff the focus. While that is certainly a valid choice, I think this year would be best spent getting the sufficiency aspect rolling, making the debt payoff easier later in the year/in…

Up this week: Could it be... Electricity?!, sweet trees, cheater cooking while staying cool and a note to just jump.- 1 -Oh Lawdy lawdy, what a ride it has been, this power thing. Or lack of, for better understanding. Off grid, generator issues galore, making do, getting by and thriving still. The electric company…
Now here we are, back in Arkansas. I think we have seen every piece of land for sale in a 30 mile radius in the country the last 2 days. Yes, I realize it is country. No, I am not entirely thrilled with the idea. But I think in the long run it will be…
We have been talking a lot lately about where we go from here. So here is the basic thought. We go back, buy some land and camp while we build a tiny home. Tiny (for us) meaning around 600 square feet - we are a family of almost 8 after all. Simple!I'll wait until you…
