hi everyone. I just found this forum :)

I recently graduated college and lived in the city for a few years. It was to stressful for me so when my BF got a job in texas I jumped at the opportunity to move somewhere more open and relaxed.We live in an apartment now but we're saving so that we can have our own small home out in a more rural area.

I want to pursue a simple life beause I've been feeling very frenzied for the last few years. I first got into minimalism and decluttering. Then I started cooking more from scratch and spending more time in nature. I'm interested in sustainability and have just started buying most of my clothes at a thrift shop. I'm also going to start composting most of my food waste and starting a rooftop garden on my apartment!


Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Good question!

My guess is the new member is "spatula", because "Flipper" died in 1972. <wink>

Or maybe it's because "there are two sides to everything."

Welcome, spatula!

Hello, spatula! It sounds like you're starting on an exciting journey. I'm curious about your husband's view of simplicity/minimalism/etc. Many of us with spouses and signifcant others find that sometimes some -- er -- negotiation is necessary (like we negotiate with the thermostat). :)

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts.
