I wonder ....

• Sunday, June 1, 2008 - The possibilities are endless

Do you ever sit while in planning mode & become energized by all your possibilities? I know some people may become overwhelmed looking at options .... but me, in most cases .... I become energized.

My husband has decided that we need to buy land with a home already on it .... and then we can build our dream home, while having something other than an RV to stay in during the build. Once moved in, we'll decide what materials to use for our build. I think we're going to go with an earthship or papercrete. Those are the least expensive materials & yet really, the ones allowing the most creativity. I wish we'd find the perfect place already .... I so want to plant a huge garden!!!

My husband got me some graph paper last night .... now I can make some tentative plans on what our home will look like, where we will plant our garden etc. I know that a lot of the planning depends on what our future property looks like .... but I just can't not draw up some ideas. I like to have some what of a plan LOL

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Did I post that my husband has agreed to go back to cloth diapers, if we have any more babies? I am sooooo excited!!! I'd love to start stocking up but that wouldn't be the best use of our money right now.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Any one use a compost toilet? We've considered this option quite a few times ... not sure we'll do it but it's a thought.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Some decisions we've made:

We're only buying things that were made in America ... toys, furniture, etc. If it's not made in our country, it's not worth having!!! The extra expense goes along way, since the products usually last longer than all the "made in China" garbage that are put on the shelves of all our stores.
I'd also sure love for America to stand together & boycott gas!!! I think if we all did it, we'd get lower prices. We need to quit complaining & take action!!!

Off my soapbox for now LOL

About Me

We are a family of 9 right now. Our dreams of homesteading have taken flight .... even if the plane is still sitting on the runway, at least we have flight plans. We home school, home church and run home businesses. Our favorite thing to do is spend time together <GASP> Yes, we actually enjoy each others company. Some times we just sit, chatting ... other times we're watching the races ..... at times we're reading books ..... and other times we're just playing with what ever we can find. This blog will be used to keep track of the journey we're on .... the journey of life ... I'll post about many things .... like ....... drama skits my children create, how to's of homesteading (or maybe the how-not-to's as I find them out), home school projects, lessons and findings, basic thoughts running through my brain ... and probably everything in between. I look forward to your wisdom, input & friendship.
