Here goes nothin'! OR maybe somethin'!

So we figured since we do actually have a pretty cool life (well, we think so) that it'd be fun to write about it. We travel a lot, we're musicians and our kids are totally wonderful.

We're trying to live by example and not buy into the whole consumeristic mentality that has such a strangle-hold on so many families. We grow much of our own food. We recycle everything possible. We compost everything else. We dream (well at least I do-haha) of one day having our own little homestead with chickens, some goats and a pig! Our goal is to be totally off-the-grid. Complete with geo-thermal, solar and wind power. Oh, and an electric car! I know, those of you who know us think we must be totally nutso, but hey, we've evolved. We're not the same people we used to be. I don't think it's possible for any of us to be the same.

We homeschool, because frankly, we think we can do a better job and have a heck of a lot more fun doing it. Our son A is 9 and our daughter B is 4. We have a blast and we all learn, together.

So, this is the beginning of what we hope is a fun, surprising, not-too-exhausting adventure!
