Ahh Jessica, you sound like my hero. It's rare to get those butterflys from a post or an idea like I used to after reading so many stories of broken homesteads and the unbelievable new hardships and regulations this country has began to put on its citizens for the most basic of human needs. I'm a Midwestern son, raised near the mountains of Idaho and returned back to the vast expanse of the midwest. My mother's a full-blooded bohemian and has always tried to keep me under her wing. I've learned that life doesn't need to be as difficult as it's been made to be. Some planning and frugality and a goal in mind and we could all have more time to sit back and enjoy the ride that we're on and take the time to discover what's going to make us all smile for the rest of it. The things my mother has taught me all has newly dubbed names nowdays but I feel like I'm starting to finally figure out the common tongue. If you'd like to talk more, feel free to send me a message.
