A year of homemaking and unplugging from the mainstream. A year of living like the 70s, minus the phone on the wall with that long cord. This book is written in a different style, with some journaling and thoughts on what makes for a quality life, especially when you are raising a family on a small income. This is the recording of a year of turning our 121-year-old home into a sweet haven and our quarter-acre yard in town into a natural sanctuary for Mother Nature. It is about living on far less than the average family of four in California and still living well by learning to stretch the budget and live a little freegan and frugally. It's an exploration of how we all live now and how that will have to change in a more sustainable way for us to thrive in the future. It is also my search for what is most important and removing distractions. It was a wonderful year of living cheap and humbly and finding so many free ways to play, cook and live. It is a full year of homemaking and thrift. A year of streamlining my housework and cooking. A year of great movies that moved me, books that inspired change, and tips and ideas for downsizing wants to have more life and focus on our passions and families.
