homesteading in ohio
well it’s been a week. (technically almost two) but, man. we learned a lot on this adventure so far. mainly; we packed too much of the wrong things. should have bought the tent first thing. rain is the enemy. walmart walmart walmart. as much as I hate to say it, walmart has been a lifesaver. […]
heading into the Hudson Valley we were greeted with the stunning beauty that I remembered from living there two years previous. returning here was more than just a place to stop over and see friends, it was type of cleansing; a needed return to put a new memory on the place that had left us […]
this morning we had ‘christmas’–a few days early, as we’re leaving here tomorrow (finally?) for the second mini leg of our journey. last weekend we had second thanksgiving. (although I was holed up in the bedroom under a pile of pillows and medication due to a stress-related migraine situation so only experienced the leftovers….) we’ve […]
I hear people say this all the time. 99% of the time, I’m pretty sure it’s sarcasm. For instance, when my (now former) boss would answer her phone; and in response to what I imagine was the standard, “How are you today?” inquiry she would reply, “Oh, you know, livin’ the dream.” Translated: “I’d rather […]
this morning we had to be up at (early enough to capture this stunning sunrise) to get to yet another doctor’s appointment.

after a stressful few weeks: a large custom knitting order finally in the mail, we finally had matching days off; so the mister and I got in the car and headed south on a bright not so cold mid march morning. I planned it out in advance without letting him know where we were going. just […]
or: how to quit nicotine in four (easy) days. day four! you’ve made it. by the time you wake up on day four, you will be feeling worlds better. nicotine has been given the express train ticket out of your body and is just about all gone. *here’s what’s happening physiologically in your body, over the […]
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what this year should be about. the whole ‘clean slate’ thing and all. and if you think of it that way, it’s an exciting thing–a fresh carpet rolled out in front of you with nothing but opportunities and adventures. there’s lots of change happening in my life, all things […]
