The Ink Is Dry!

It's official.    I have piles of boxes, a stack of papers and an empty checking account to prove that the Taylor family is the new, proud owners of a beautiful homestead along the Calvert's Prong in Cleveland, Alabama.    It's six riverfront acres with some pastureland and an old, empty home site.  By the weekend, it will be the home to my camper trailer, 2 adults, 3 kids, 3 dogs, 2 cats and a Betta.   And we, animals included, will be walking away from the rat race.

This is the top side of the property where we'll be planting gardens, transplanting fig trees, putting in fruit trees and making a home.

 This property came with built in therapy.   A beautiful piece of the Warrior River, called the Calvert's Prong, rushes past our backyard. 

 There are also beautiful bluffs just waiting to be camped under. 

And this is our 500 square foot (actually, very large for campers) temporary home.  Believe it or not, it is blessed with a master bedroom, full bathroom and bunk room.


Come and join the adventure as we transition from 5 bedrooms to 500 square feet.  Follow along as we break ground on the cabin, build the garden beds, put bees in boxes, enjoy some Scripture around a bonfire, build a cellar, play with chickens, and bake fresh bread.


If you've ever wondered if a simple life is still possible, use me to find out.

We'll walk you through every step of the American Dream- well, everything but the 30 year mortgage, that is.  We're here to prove that FIVE YEARS of living like nobody else will allow us a LIFETIME of living like nobody else!
