We are thankful to all of the men and women in the armed forces that are away from their families protecting our freedoms.

We are thankful to be together as a loving family. We are grateful to be able to walk our daughter to and from school and fortunate to drive a short distance to a job with a purpose.

This year our family has become even stronger, taking unpredictable challenges head-on,  knowing that together we will come out winning.

We have embraced our passion of getting back to basics and living a simpler more independent lifestyle. Along the way we have learned many wonderful skills.                 These days, we are enjoying life a lot more by slowing it down. We have learned to               de-stress on what we cannot control by focusing on what we can control, grow and produce.

We are thankful for the opportunity and challenge of adopting a                               homesteading – downsized lifestyle and sharing it on our blog.

We are also thankful for our subscribers that share their appreciation in what we are doing – giving us added purpose in our lives.

Thank you for sharing!

We hope you and your family have a very special – Happy Thanksgiving.
