Financial times are tough these days… for all of us. RancherMan & I both live and work together right here on our Homestead. While this self-employed lifestyle is blissful & absolutely amazing for us, it also means there’s no regularly-scheduled corporate paycheck for either of us.
We’re often asked, “How in the world do you DO IT?”

It seems in our culture there’s a constant struggle for more. A larger house, a newer cell phone, a flashier car.
Of course there’s nothing wrong with pursuing the things you truly desire. But I think many times the drive for newer/bigger/better has nothing to do with things that we ourselves want.

Relationships require tender loving care to stay strong. RancherMan & I are 25+ years in love, y’all. It makes us smile that so many people (including complete strangers) comment that we must be newlyweds.
But like any relationship, it doesn’t just grow on its own. We take steps to keep it strong, we make sure to find time for each other.

It’s all the rage now: Voluntary Simplicity. I guess like most things, it probably means different things to different people.
Not an EASIER life, but a more simple life. A slowing down. Living more deliberately.

What do you do when unforeseen circumstances cause you financial hardship? All at once there’s too many expenses & not enough money to pay the bills. I’m reflecting on our own financial journey and steps that helped us take back our financial freedom to make ends meet.

Easter celebrations may look a little different this year. But celebrate where you are! Go ahead & let the kids hunt Easter eggs in the back yard, or even in the house like we used to do when the kids were little and rain hampered an outdoors celebration.
Attend your favorite church service online and praise the Lord! Celebrating shouldn’t be a gathering this year, but it certainly can and should still be CELEBRATING!
Gatherings may be canceled, but Easter has certainly not been canceled!
For all my Christian friends – what a glorious day today is.
Happy EASTER.
