Homestead Garden Tour – May 1, 2012
I wanted to post an update of how things are growing here at the homestead this spring. I’m excited about our gardens this year, and we’ve worked pretty hard at getting the yard in shape after last year’s tree removal. Last weekend, we finished the privacy fence along the driveway. We are really excited about [...]
The Homestead Resolutions for 2012
I hope you all have enjoyed the holidays so far. Our family has agreed that this was ones of the best Christmases we’ve had in a long time. Health-wise, we are in a holding pattern and I’ll keep the blog updated if anything changes on that front. In the mean time… The other night, my [...]

Why I Blog and How I Became an Urban Homesteader
Four years ago, at the beginning of March, I started this blog. At first I began tentatively, not sure who would ever read what I had to say, unsure of if I even had anything to say at all. Unsure of what my blog was about (I hadn’t even really read other blogs), I titled [...]

There are 15 coops throughout Denver and the metro area participating in the tour. We are coop number seven. We are so excited to be participating. By “we” of course [...]
Howdy!
3 kids, 8 chickens, bees and a garden on my urban 1/8 acre. Striving to find the simple life - the easy way. I spend my free time blogging and getting dirt under my nails along side my hard-working husband. Yay for modern housewifery, urban livestock and front yard gardens!
