Kicking and Screamin Balancing the desire to kick and scream for change with the need to be gentle on my family and those around me. A slow but steady transformation to a more simple, sustainable, sane life.
A journal of J. and I's attempt to live a simpler, greener life.
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.
