Hi everyone!
I've just been browsing the forum and am so happy to find a group of like-minded people. I've been pursuing a simpler life for a while now, ever since watching a River Cottage episode mentioning factory farming. That led to thinking about meat...about food...about other things we buy...funny what direction life can take when your conscience is seared by something as seemingly innocuous as a TV program.
Anyways, dh and I are renting. We have three kids, two of whom are learning at home, and another at a local school. We've been debt- and credit card-free for a few years now (after I picked up Your Money or Your Life at the library), and car-free since late last year when the repair bills were going to be more than what it was insured for. We're fortunate to be within walking distance to all amenities including a train station and bus terminal. My dh isn't passionate about simple living, but has seen the benefits in how we live.
I'm a novice gardener, great cook, and a creative/intuitive soul. Nice to meet you!
