We are thrilled to welcome you to the Spaulding Family Blog, where we are excited to share the remarkable journey, our family is embarking on—a journey towards financial independence and sustainable living.
In a world where fast-paced lifestyles and consumerism often take center stage, we have decided to take a different path. We believe that there is immense value in reclaiming our financial freedom, living by our Christian values, and raising our own food. This blog is not just a documentation of our journey; it's an invitation for you to join us on this extraordinary adventure.
Why Financial Independence?
For many of us, the pursuit of financial independence is not just about having more money. It's about gaining control over our lives, making choices that align with our values, and freeing ourselves from the constraints of traditional 9-to-5 jobs. We want to share our experiences, challenges, and triumphs as we work towards achieving this remarkable goal.
The Joy of Raising Our Own Food
Amidst our quest for financial independence, we've found another profound calling—to nurture the land, grow our own food, and reconnect with the natural world. We've discovered that there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of sowing seeds, tending to plants, raising chickens, and harvesting the fruits of our labor. We'll be sharing our adventures in gardening, raising animals, sustainable living practices, raising kiddos, and starting our own small businesses as we strive to become more self-reliant and environmentally conscious.
Christian Values
Our family strives to put God at the forefront of our lives, but we are a long way from perfect. We will continue to make all sorts of mistakes along the way.
