Wife, mother, zookeeper, "farmer," photographer, and attempting to improve my survivalist skills. The world is becoming a scary place. I just want to raise my children to appreciate life, to be productive humans, and to respect differences. Idealistic maybe, be as of late I am more convinced that living as much off the land as possible, and to be as self sufficient as time and money allow, is not only beneficial, but necessary. So come with me on my journey to figuring out how to go from clueless to sufficient for family's sake.
