Simple living is a rather old concept that has become ever so popular over the last 5 or 6 years. How many of our ancestors lived a simple life? More and more I hear people talking about living simply, simple living, minimalism etc…. (there are numerous catch words people throw around to describe a simple way of living.) To everyone simple living or living simple means something a little different.
For me living intentionally simple means:
●embracing frugality through recipes, diy, & helpful information that helps me learn to save & refocusing our $ to where it is important to us like traveling and vacations, for example. (I am the frugal queen, be prepared for upcoming unique frugal ideas.)
●understand simplicity
●exploring & traveling the world around us
●implementing minimalism in different areas of my life
●becoming more self sufficient with my homestead
●using the inspiration I find as fuel to spark creativity within me
●living healthy– we need to take care of ourselves & nourish our mind, body, & spirit.
This is my condensed list of what living intentionally simple is to me. Not only are all of these things important for me but it’s the way I live my life. I practice what I preach.
What does simple living mean to you? Why did you start your own journey towards living a simpler life? I am interested in learning from others what made them start to reevaluate their lives and start their journey.
So welcome to my new blog where I will be exploring all of the things I listed in many different forms. I am new, just starting out on my journey so I welcome others to share their thoughts and ideas with me along the way. Here’s to simple beginnings of a simple life.

For me, simple living would be to live on a farm with acres for my very active boys to run and play. To have a lush garden where we gather ingredients for meals and so on. I am a city girl, but this is just a little of what a simple life would be to me.
