Where has the time gone?!

6 years ago, from last Saturday, was our wedding day!

It was a beautiful March day, surprisingly warm, and yet, I couldn't wait for the day to end.

Sure, I was excited to be married, but so much goes into planing a wedding, lots of stress and way too many details, I was ready for the marriage.

There was nothing as sweet as having so many of our close friends all in one place. Growing up on the other side of the country, meant a lot of people weren't able to make it and I'm grateful to have maintained so many connections, over the years.

We moved into our current house 4 years ago which has been such a gift. So many lessons have been learned from raising chickens and cats to gardening and everything in between.

I can't tell you when my sustainability journey began, but I can remember so many influential pieces being added every year. Living sustainably is really a way of order for me. It affects every decision I make from how I spend my money to social commitments.

This is what you can expect to find woven through The Holmestead Series: an everyday approach from your friendly neighbor about living more sustainably.

I began this business last year, not really having a ton of vision or expectations for what it would become. Reflection is so important and the finances last year would tell you that I should quit while I'm ahead.

Life has a funny way of turning things around so I'm going to wrap this up because I have a full week! Later today, I will be hosting a booth at the local farmers market in celebration of Vernal Equinox.

Saturday will bring things to a close with a Sourdough Workshop and I have 11 people signed up! Maybe in person events will be my new platform.

See you next week!
