I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this old 70's poster. 

It is so Spenard. 

And I love me some Spenardism:)

Mike and I have a dream of one day living in the woods - off grid. 

In the meantime we are in the city... and in an amazing community of neighbors. I never would have imagined that this scenario is exactly what I needed while staying home with these wee little ones. Being a stay at home mom is sometimes so isolating and lonely. I now know that being in a beautiful house in the woods with nothing but the bears to converse with would have been extremely unhealthy for me. I love the hustle and bustle of our home and community. It keeps me sane to hear the school bell ring, watch the bus drive by, and have daily chit chats over the fence with my neighbors.

One day we will find our lake house... but right now striving for  urban homesteading is a pretty good thing.
