About Me

- Emily
- Fairbanks, Alaska
- We are a family of four (with one more on the way), living in the Arctic Boreal Forest above Fairbanks, in the Interior of Alaska. I write about our simple life and trying to keep our life simple in a day when the typical American life is anything but. When I first started writing this blog I had a toddler and a baby and we were a growing homestead. I wanted to share our day to day and all the lessons we learned along the way, from mixing our own chicken feed to goat kidding season and cheese making. As our children have grown, home schooling has really taken over and I have had to examine every aspect of our lives to keep our days simple yet fruitful. These days you will still find me posting and sharing pictures of our chickens and garden, berry picking and salmon processing. I also hope to be writing about home schooling decisions and lessons as well as other interests and hobbies the kids and I explore. Reader interest and feedback is what keeps me writing, so please leave lots of comments!

What cute pictures. I thought the cake was so lovely, but the ones with cake on your daughter's smiling face are just priceless!
Looks like everyone, especially the birthday girl, had a really nice day.
Thanks for sharing. :)
Happy Birthday. Looks like fun times. B
She's a doll. Great pictures. Did she get her broom?

Grace, she did get a broom - not the one I wanted - the wood handled one that looks like mine :) This one is metal and plastic. It is identical to the one she got a year or so ago and somehow managed to break. I'm going to be tempted to get her the broom I wanted for her, one of these days.
What a beautiful little princess. I have enjoyed reading (from start to finish)your entire blog over the last two weeks. It read like a good book. I'd grab a cup of coffee before my daughter would wake up and enjoy the stories of Alaska and homesteading. How inspirational. I bought 5 1/2 acres a few years ago and can't wait to move there! Sophia and I keep talking about the goats and chickens...keep up the good work! You are an inspiration and I really enjoy your stories...thanks for making us a part of it! Vickie (vhartless@aol.com)
Awesome, I'm glad you are enjoying my past posts Vickie - Best wishes to you and Sophia.
