She, her husband and 4 boys live in Hawaii now.  They are loving it there- building a large garden, taking care of goats, raising their kids, and enjoying a life truly off the grid.  

It is amazing to me how many of my friends and family are seeking a simpler life and pushing back against the normal suburban lifestyle in this country.

I have to say that I miss them, but I get it.

]]>Can you say commune??http://www.motherblogga.com/between-us/2010/7/27/can-you-say-commune.htmlBri Candor2010-07-27T17:43:00Z2010-07-27T17:43:00Z

We just listed this gorgeous home on 280 acres.

Anyone want to start that commune that we have all talked about for 20 years?

I came home to this after working a 14 hour day.

Still not ready to take them to our local farmer's market, but who knows, maybe next year.  :)

This was a fun one to create.

]]>I should have listened to my sisterhttp://www.motherblogga.com/between-us/2010/7/10/i-should-have-listened-to-my-sister.htmlBri Candor2010-07-10T13:27:54Z2010-07-10T13:27:54ZOk, so the potty training has its blessings and challenges.

1)  My son gives me about 10 seconds warning before he has to go.

2) It is always at inopportune times

3)  There are no toilets in the woods when you are on a hike

 

Thankfully, he is fairly easy going and I had a bag with me.

Just sayin'

 

I just hope he won't think that from now on, he has to go potty outside.

 

 

]]>Hiking with friendshttp://www.motherblogga.com/between-us/2010/7/9/hiking-with-friends.htmlBri Candor2010-07-09T13:33:00Z2010-07-09T13:33:00ZDespite some early trepidation about going on a hike. . . 


(Yes I am aware that my son's shoes are on the wrong feet- happens every time and he will not let me fix them- you would think that it would be a 50-50% shot, but, no, 100% wrong every time)

Once they actually rememebered what a hike was, it was much more fun.

 

 

and once we reached the waterfall, there were high fives everywhere. . .

 

 

Of course, the snacks helped too. . .

 

 

All in all, despite some whining and having to carry him for 15 minutes, both he and his buddy were pretty great on our 2 1/2 hour hike.  A great way to spend a Friday.
