Little Minimalist on the Prairies
The abundant life with less
This summer has been a roller coaster, and a lot of our plans have changed since my last post, but I'm happy to say that they've led us to the point we've been dreaming of for the past two years—our little acreage in the country! We had originally planned to build our dream home this [...]
Home is a funny concept. I’ve been living in rentals for most of my adult life and I find it so interesting how the concept of home can shift to wherever you are and whoever you’re with. There are places I’ve lived for only a few months at a time that create such a deep [...]
