I'm Sarai, and this is my humble little square of the internet. A few years ago, I traded in my glamorous lifestyle as a care-free college student at a certain fancy New England university to embrace a more fulfilling one as a (wannabe) farmer's wife in the small-town South, USA.
I married a nearly perfect missionary kid turned sustainable agriculture student who's more interested in aquaponics than Aeschylus, and it's done me a world of good. We rent a little house on what my in-laws affectionately call a commune, and we refer to as a big chunk of land with a lot of hippie farmers on it (you say tom-AY-to, I say tom-AH-to...). We raise meat rabbits, grow vegetables, vermi-compost our food waste, and make & drink a lot of tea. We are Christians, by the grace of God, and hold to some pretty hard-core traditional ideas about the truth of the Bible, the meaning of the Gospel, and the structure of marriage. I'll write about those things at some point, I'm sure, but it's good for you to know up front, since it influences nearly everything we do and say.
March of 2013 will mark a band-new chapter of our lives as I transition from working full-time outside the home to working full-time inside our home. We had originally planned to keep that arrangement until hubby graduated in May, but a wonderful little surprise is taking just 9 months to remind us that our plans aren't always His :). We are planning and praying for an all natural birth with a midwife, and I'm sure the next few months will be liberally sprinkled with thoughts, updates, and lessons that this wee one is teaching me already.
I write this blog because there are too many thoughts in my head about frugality, real foods, marriage, faith, and the natural lifestyle to keep to myself (and because hubby can only listen to so much of this a day). Our journey is definitely influenced by all the great bloggers we follow, and I'd love to hear your story, too. Feel free to check out my welcome post on the blog, read some recipes, or click over to some of the other great bloggers I follow. If you have questions or thoughts or tips or spontaneously composed poetry to pass on to me, I'd be delighted to hear it. Just leave me a comment, or shoot me an email.
Thanks for stopping by... and y'all come back now, hear?
