We made it!
We lost our laptop along the way, but we made it ;) ( well we didn't "lose" it but it died for good they day before our move). So, bear with me as I share some pictures of our new place that I took with my iPhone a day or two after the move, and when we get a replacement computer I'll share more.
Behold, our mountain of boxes! That back wall was stacked with a lot of our boxes so we could at least use half the living room for actual living as you will see in the following photos :)

We Bought a House!!!
Yes, you read that right, we bought a house!
We are so excited to share this wonderful news with everyone! We move in the end of this week so things are going to be a little crazy around here for awhile (not to mention my hubby starts a new job today!) I'm so ready to start some projects, start some painting, start some organizing etc etc!
I hope to share some pictures and lots more info about this new abode early next week, so stay tuned!
Now I'm off to go pack, if I get lost somewhere in our sea of boxes and you don't hear from me for a month, send out a search party :)
Have a wonderful week!

Local Food (and our paleo journey)
So, I've sat down to write this post a couple of times, and every time I do I don't know where to start :) So don't mind me if I just jump right in....
I don't know if you've noticed (I know all my blogging lately has been sporadic!)but my recipe sharing has gone downhill in the last few months.This is (partly) because I've been learning a whole new repertoire of recipes in following the Paleo (or Paleolithic) diet. Honestly I hate calling it a diet cause it isn't just a weight loss diet, it is a lifestyle change. If you haven't heard of the paleo or primal diet here's the gist of it:
Enjoy: Avoid:
Meats Grains (not just wheat)
Vegetables Legumes
Fruits Dairy
Nuts Processed foods
Seeds Alcohol
Healthy fats Starches
Now, I'm not going to give you a full synopsis of the diet, there are a bunch of resources you can check out if you are interested and I am by no means a professional at this whole thing. What I do want to share is why I am doing this (and why I'm "dragging" the whole family along with me :)
Over the last three or four years I have become more and more aware of our impact on this earth in a environmental sense and (like a lot of people) more and more aware of the impact of our "conventional" food and farming systems. All that coupled with my long held dream of having a farm and my hubby and I's wanting to grow more of our own food has taken us on this path to finding a piece of property large enough to be able to grow/raise our own food. The paleo/primal "diet" encourages the freshest most healthy sources of food possible, and what could be more fresh than growing and/or hunting it yourself?
(these fish we had awhile ago were very fresh and local, Gabe caught them in the lake we live close to (2 minutes away close!)
