A New Chapter

Earlier this week we found out that our offer on a farmette was accepted! We are extremely happy to start this new chapter in our lives. Right now the possibilities are endless. I look forward to a summer filled with back breaking but rewarding labor and a lot of learning. Some of our long term plans involve goats, chickens, growing as much of our own veggies as possible, berry bushes, art studios, patios, and even a private vineyard...I'm getting carried away. I do know that this is an amazing opportunity for our family and if it weren't for the love and support of extended family it would be much harder to make this a reality right now. That is also one of the main things I look forward to in this venture. A multi-generational household. What an awesome way to strengthen family bonds and teach children a wonderful sense of community within their own family! We have so much to learn from one another. This year will be busy for sure, but also filled with positive change. With all of the adventure in store, I hope to be able to improve on my blogging and hopefully inspire folks to embrace a more earth and family nurturing lifestyle. It has been nothing but good for my family, and continues to foster emotional and intellectual growth. I look forward to posting pictures of our work in progress, and sharing this beautiful experience with all of you!
