The Purloined Letter
Working--very slowly sometimes--toward homesteader status, but thinking about it and writing about it a lot...

My journey in living through more simpler means, a lifestyle more frugal yet more fulfilling and learning how to use sustainable organic and fairtrade products as an alternative to disposables.

A journal of J. and I's attempt to live a simpler, greener life.
