A place to write my thoughts. I support a green planet, I unschool my 3 children and love to garden. I'm a compost junky and recycle just about anything and everything! We have rabbits, chickens and a cat. Stop by and browse around. Our newest big project is a solar shower.

This is the story of our urban family as we try to live a more sustainable lifestyle. We are turning our urban plot into a sustainable venture that will provide us with food, nourishment, and many adventures for us and our 2 boys.

A Posse ad Esse
We are a "normal" family living on 1/4 acre in suburban Utah. Our daily goals are to raise our three boys in a clean and healthy environment, to live a simpler life and provide more for ourselves. We have a nearly 400 sqFt dedicated garden plus edible landcaping in the front yard and compost piles for the green waste, we are raising urban chickens and making for ourselves what we can. It's a learning process, and we try to share our successes and our failures. A posse ad esse is latin for "From Possibility to Reality". That's we're all about.

Holding Up the Bypass
This is a journal about a path which, for us, began with choosing not to send our children to an institutional school to learn. As we've grown into living and learning independently, organically, and with compassion and deep connection as a family(radical unschooling), we are continually expanding those same principles to more and more aspects of our lives. This blog is about our journey toward a more sustainable lifestyle in a Northern Kentucky suburb of Cincinnati, OH.

As a matter of neccessity, I have always lived a simple life from living in a tent to a trailer, made my own clothes and refrained from credit and frivilous purchasing, and have a very DIY attitude about life.

Empress of Dirt
Creating an organic eating and perennial garden on a small lot on the edge of a Canadian small town with a small budget and a big love of nature. Also includes garden art trash to treasure creations to add interest to the emerging garden. Would love to have chickens and goats but for now, I bloom where I've planted myself and consider frugality an art form.
