Multigenerational living, on a farm. Most everything we eat or use comes from our property, our neighbors, or my husbands family’s property.

I’m very well cognizant this is not an option for a lot of people, and I know how lucky I am to not have to spend money on bills most people have… it’s a big reason why I try to pay it forward in many ways, as often as I can.

That said, I grew up in abject poverty… so I’m playing catch up, even now.

Such is reality.
