My wife and I always wanted to have a more simple, frugal, and natural way of living.

But between my corporate job, starting a family, and surviving the rat race, there was never enough time (or money, even though I was making a lot of it).

One day, after yet another endless business trip, I said "Enough!"

I would take back my life and never miss another recital or baseball game again.
 
So we decided to really start learning about this thing called homesteading.

Where before it had seemed like a far off dream that we could never attain, after learning a few simple tips, it now seemed like something that was quite possible.

It's been twelve years since we took the plunge and I can say that it has been the best decision we ever made.

I hope I can give you a few useful tips to lead you in the right direction and find out if homesteading is right for you.
