Some of you have e-mailed me, requesting that I put up permanent links to my husband's posts about our love story, and our journey to voluntary simplicity and debt freedom. I'll put them in the sidebar, but for those of you who've been looking for them, here are the links:
My name is Heather, and I'm a happily married, stay-at-home mother of two daughters, ages six, and two. I'm a Christian, and I strive to live deliberately, in a way that brings glory to God, and shows respect for His Creation. This journal is about frugal, simple, more meaningful living. I love hearing from my readers. Thanks for visiting!

"It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all." ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder
"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak." ~Hans Hofmann
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction." ~E.F. Schumacker
"Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things. "~Elise Boulding
"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life." ~John Burroughs
"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." ~William Morris
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." ~Leonardo DaVinci
"How many things are there which I do not want." ~Socrates
"You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need. "~Vernon Howard
