After using the last of my store-bought liquid laundry detergent tonight, I finally took a stab at the homemade powder detergent I’ve been meaning to try. While I was shaving a bar of soap for the recipe, Aaron was washing literally 102 eggs. Because the kids were conveniently captivated by a cheesy Brendan Fraser movie, we had a chance to have a moment. The realization hit: we’re doing this. We’re doing the thing we set out to do. We’re living a more self-sufficient life. With two healthy kids. In a free country. On a planet that features water and oxygen and a host other really cool things.

Regardless of the mistakes and setbacks along the way, we’re moving toward the goal, and there’s fulfillment in the process.
