Before we got this whole move to Berlin started, I was contacted by Skyhorse Publishing about receiving a few books of theirs for review. I've read several of their homesteading books (including The Joy of Hobby Farming) in the past and really enjoyed them, so the...
There is much that has been done around the new apartment lately...and when I think about it, it's hard to imagine that we've only been here a little over 2 weeks. It literally feels as if it's been several months; and with all the exploring we've done, we also feel...
Hello to my dearest friends! You may have been wondering what has been going on in my head since we moved to Berlin. I've had a few ups and downs, but mostly I've really been enjoying myself. I get to go out and explore with the family all the time; and every time...

The following post was written by the lovely Carrie, who I've had the pleasure of getting to know better over the past few years via NOH and her own blog. Carrie writes about books, finances, and personal growth at her blog, Carrie’s Busy Nothings. She’s a lifelong...
