It ain't easy bein' cheap and green....
I started this blog over a year ago and let it sit with a very few posts. With spring coming in full force, I feel a need to renew and breathe life into an old, dusty endeavor! So I’m starting over - pulling out the old growth and dropping in new seeds.
My name is Courtney. I am no expert. I participate in a lot of things - mothering, activism, art and craft, community building are a few. My husband and I are starting a modest urban homestead in the middle of Fayetteville, AR. This being our first year, we’re starting small with a worm bin in the kitchen, a compost bin in the backyard, and some container gardening. Eventually, we’ll move on to harder stuff, like chickens.
This blog won’t only be about what we already do, though. It will be about resources, plans, and experiments - both successful and not so much. I’ll also talk about household habits and strategies, interacting with school and community, and the politics of environmentalism and economy.
First up, diapering the baby!
