About

I am a work in progress.  Some days feel like there is more progress than others.  Know what I mean?

The summer of 2005, after living my whole life in HomeTown, my husband (also a HomeTown native) and I picked up and moved to SmallTown.  Over 250 miles from anyone we knew.  It has been an exciting time.  Getting used to a small town, making new friends and all sorts of other things.

At first out of necessity (owning two homes for over a year produces a LOT of necessity) we ventured down the frugal path.  Although we weren’t exactly spendthrifts before the move, we had a whole new level of thrifty.

In getting to start over in SmallTown things were really simple.  No one knew us and so we had a lot of time together as a family to just get settled in.  It was a comfortable, simple time.  And we discovered that we liked the slower pace.

So a small town, simple home was born.  I find myself becoming more domestic every month.  And I like it.
