I have a very dear friend who used to live near me but has since moved across the country to North Carolina. Luckily we both have free long distance.
It's funny because first her oldest sister was my friend and then I became friends with her older brother in high school (I'm still friends with both). But five or six years ago when my friend got married and soon had her first son we started talking. And hanging out. And we found out that we have A LOT in common. Our views on raising children, living the gospel, and being the best wives/mothers we can are very similar, but she always manages to say something to make me see things differently or from a new angle. I love it!!
I miss my friend. And I wish we could talk more, but kids and housework and life make that an impossibility.
So we started a blog together, Cross Country Crunchies. I still plan on blogging here, but I'll stick mostly with the small house/urban homestead theme. CCC is where I'll write from a more religious perspective.
I chose not to do that here and I don't want to change that. But because my religion is such a HUGE part of who I am, I'd like to have a place where I can tie in childrearing, living on one income, and simplicity with the words of my church leaders.
I invite you to come and take a look and get to know us better!
