Gearing Up

I'm getting ready to start posting at this blog again TOMORROW! I've added some of my favorite blogs, and some great links, all of which pertain at least somewhat to my topics of homemaking, urban farming, and finding our way to financial (and other) peace in a world gone a bit crazy. I can't wait to see you all here again!

very much looking forward to it, Lisa... and hoping to pick up some good budgeting tips. Nathan will become a SAHF this summer when I go back to work after my maternity leave, so we'll be learning how to live on one salary quite soon.

Thanks, Jen! For some reason actually knowing someone in real.live.life who is hoping to get some ideas from me is nerve-wracking! I hope I do a good job...
and that is so exciting that Nathan gets to be a SAHF. It will be great! And you know what they say, so often much of the second job income goes to costs you don't have when one person can be home, so I bet you'll do fine. It looks scarier on paper than it will likely end up to be!

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

America a Military Police State--Now Obvious to Minnesotans

From my friend Devin's blog, The Quince Urban Homestead . They and others in the Twin Cities are much more aware of what's going on down there than we are an hour north. News reports are incomplete and, of course, skewed to the "need for order" and fear tactics. Of course we don't want violence, but come on! Has it come to this? This could be my family!
