But there is a new movement afoot that calls itself homesteading, and I full into this movement. But to be honest we are just people that have decided to leave the city and find a little piece of raw land in the country and live a simpler life and be as self-sufficient as we can be. Modern day homesteaders come in all forms and some even homestead in the city. So how I came to be a homesteader I wanted a much simpler life style and I really wanted to be with my wife and children everyday, I believe you can either make money and pay someone to provide the things you need to live with or you can provide for yourself. The nice thing with providing for yourself is you can teach your children and be with them, our life is very much about living together and learning as we go, we love it and would never live any other way.

It has been a wonderful addition, especially since we have 5 young children!

I've been reading your wife's blog for a few weeks now but didn't realize SHE was YOUR wife until I saw her on your August top-droppers list. What happened in September? Just kidding! I'm enjoying your blog. We used to 'homestead' on almost three acres but now we're suburbians with just a yard. We did grow carrots, potatoes, and corn anyway!
