Love the Simple Life

Does anyone else feel like running away to a farm?

Times are crazy right now with Covid, wildfires, protests, murder hornets and more. Everytime I close my eyes I dream of being on a quiet, beautiful farm with fruit and veggies growing in my garden, billowing trees that dance in the wind and me in a white flowy bohemian but chic dress. Anyone else having that fantasy right now?? I want to run away from everything and go back to the simple life (I never had).

I live in the suburbs of Austin, with shared greenery, but wish for several acres of land to let small children and animals run free. My husband and I would raise chickens and maybe keep a goat or two for milk and soap while our lavender fields flourish (Sometimes I’m in Vermont or upstate NY and other times I’m in the South of France).

I am a former art teacher who is trying to figure out what to do next. How do I balance my sanity, finances, and creative spirit?

New Home New Struggles

Lest I sound ungrateful I want you to know that my husband and I feel super lucky to have found a house during this crazy time in the housing market.

New Home!

Yay! We’ve moved! As anyone knows from moving, it is exhausting, boring, tedious and stressful. We didn’t have a bad move by any means. The movers were polite, efficient and careful so I have no complaints. The thing is, we decided that the smaller items and boxes, we would move ourselves. It ended up savingContinue reading “New Home!”
