Mostly because I often wonder if you and Chris are able to maintain what I consider some of the "luxuries" of your lifestyle, such as from scratch meals and other "non-conveniance" items. It is nice to see that yall have made the choice to live life a little happier, but maybe a little more like the rest of us!

I enjoyed this post – it definitely resonates. Having had to choose between tomato plants and sex myself, I can say that granulated garlic has been in use in this house for a while. And my tolerance for mess and chaos is growing!
