I will be sharing tips, techniques, crafts, recipes, and more to help make life more enjoyable without breaking the wallet. Acquiring the things that will make my life easier, more enjoyable and adventurous or I just needed it because it was the thing to have at the time. It finally got to the point where I couldn’t find what I really needed because it was covered up by the things I thought I need
ed. After years of adding things that we “need” to an ever growing inventory of indispensable items, my wife and I have decided that it’s was time to really look at what we have, at what things are needed and what items are just wants. This didn’t just include items and toys. It included things that we were lead to believe were proper for fitting in with the world around us. As a result of this rethinking of our priorities, we have started getting back to a simpler way of living. Now this doesn’t mean we’re giving everything away and going pioneer. Not by a long stretch. What we are doing is going back to doing things ourselves, growing things ourselves, making and building things ourselves. And we are sharing the journey with everyone that is thinking about or doing the same. There are modern things that I will not part with, (many of my power tools are among them). Internet access, for research and sharing our progress, modern appliances, and so on. But there are so many more things that we can do with our hands that don’t include looking at our smart phones every other minute. There are things that we can make at home, in our own kitchen, or in our workshop that we have become programed to buy, use and throw away rather than make them with our own hands and use them for years or generations. There will be successes and failures. There will be good times and not so good times. Through it all there will be friends, good food, adventures, tips, and anything else that we can pass along to you that we find may be helpful. Some of the things that we will share with you may not be your cup of tea. We may not include some of the things that you are looking for. We will show you what we have found to work for us, make us more self-sufficient, and help make our life healthy and more enjoyable. You are welcome to come along with us. It’s always more fun with friends.
