There's just something about cousins all dressed in similar clothing to cheer on the favorite football team. And siblings - sadly, Bou was sick in the bed and happily missed the photo shoot. There is 11 more weeks hun. 11 more weeks.
Our Experiment
So this is our goal, our experiment. To live as simply as possible, balancing the current privileges of being Americans with the benefits past generations, other societies, have enjoyed. Not being consumed by our 'bigger, better, faster' society that demands so much of ourselves to acquire and maintain. Being able to build and maintain relationships.…
A unique opportunity
Imagine if you will, having the ability to wake when your body rhythm stirs you. Leisurely getting out of bed and enjoying a cup of coffee with your husband. Imagine the children sitting down with you, their parents, to enjoy a calm breakfast. You invest all day together, doing family things, or even separate things,…
A tale of two countries
Another 'reason' to add to the Why In the World file. In 2008, we were early twenties, self-employed, parents to 3 little ones and had just bought our first house. Doing what we were supposed to be doing. Only it didn't seem so dreamlike when you got down to the core.Today, of Americans officially designated…
Take Two – and GO!
Also known as: life has turned crazy again and for some reason this Southern Belle feels the need to blog. Again. Because thats just what she does. Rambling incoherent thoughts about where we have been, how we got to this point, and how the unknown future plays out. Hopefully giving insight to some wondering blog reader…

Life has thrown another curve... long story short - my mother in laws husband had her served last week, very unexpected, which means our plans have POOF gone away. She cant…
The first jump
Its officially official now - Sunday we bought some land, Monday we put the house on the market. I can't even explain all the emotions!!Sunday was exhilarating (admittedly after being wicked nervous at first). The property sits in a registered subdivision in the county. Pros and cons there - pro is since its not in…
Our radical decision
So here's the deal. We need to save some money... let me rephrase that - we need to save A TON of money to afford this trip. So we've been coming up with ways to do that. We ran through the normal budget, we could cut this and that, but that would only save us…
The Why
I know what you are thinking. I've questioned myself often as well. The why for me is simple. I'm tired of waiting for "Someday" and "One Day" to come. I've searched and searched and for the life of me can not find it on a calender anywhere. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong places.…
The Plan
The plan is quite simple actually. Buy an RV and travel the states then on to Europe, then hopefully the rest of the world (mostly dependant upon funds and world affairs at that point). The goal is roughly Spring of 2011 - that's 2 full years and a few months from now. At that point…
