We are basic people.

Over the last year we have tried pretty hard to simplify our lives. There are just so many things that we have come to realize really aren't vital to living a happy life. I realize there are reasons to have an iphone and all various iphone accessories but we don't own one. In the two months since we got rid of our dishwasher I can honestly say I haven't missed it once. My line dried clothes are just just as fresh looking after a bit of fluffing in the dryer as if they had been fully dried that way. I love a big bowl of homemade granola infinitely more than a bowl of sugar sweetened cereal from the store. There is nothing that compares to homemade sandwich rolls, freshly grilled grass fed beef, and homemade cheese sandwiches. A night spent reading is far more enriching than a night of mindlessly flipping through television channels hoping to find something to watch. We are basic people with very limited wants or needs and I like it that way.
