A Posse ad Esse We are a "normal" family living on 1/4 acre in suburban Utah. Our daily goals are
to raise our three boys in a clean and healthy environment, to live a simpler life and
provide more for ourselves. We have a nearly 400 sqFt dedicated garden plus edible
landcaping in the front yard and compost piles for the green waste, we are raising urban
chickens and making for ourselves what we can. It's a learning process, and we try to share
our successes and our failures. A posse ad esse is latin for "From Possibility to Reality".
That's we're all about.
Balancing the desire to kick and scream for change with the need to be gentle on my family and those around me. A slow but steady transformation to a more simple, sustainable, sane life.
The beginnings of a new way of life for my family by using mostly free and salvaged materials. I am SAHP of 3 children , 2 homeschooled. As a matter of neccessity, I have always lived a simple life from living in a tent to a trailer, made my own clothes and refrained from credit and frivilous purchasing, and have a very DIY attitude about life.
