The Beginning of our journey!

This is the beginning of our new life. It is going to take us a year or 2 to get to where we want to be, but we are on our way. We decided that living a life of bondage to others and finances was not a life we wanted to live. I began researching the homesteading lifestyle and felt like this could be something for us. We have started simple where we are living. So far, we use candle light at night and only the natural sun during the day. This helps to save energy and lowers our cost of living. Along with the practical homesteading lifestyle, we are also hoping to teach our children that the world and all its technologies is not the only way to live. We have started puting our cell phones up at 6. Giving opportunity for family time. We also eat together every night. This has become such a tradition that if we do not do this, then the kids get upset. The little things make the big differences. This is just the beginning and I hope you join us on our journey. God Bless, The Seelys!
