We live in a large suburban city of about 80,000 people. When we purchased our current homestead, we had looked all over in the area. We wanted something with enough land to start a small homestead, but still close enough to places of convenience like stores, parks, and the places we work, as well as cultural centers, like museums, and not too far from either of our extended families. We found our one acre lot with a relatively small (1350 sq. ft) 3 bedroom house in the center of a large suburb not far from D's work, my work, and about 45 minutes from each of our parents. Perfect! But then, within 3 months of moving in we had a new baby, S. And with her along with J, our then almost 3 year old, it hasn't always been easy finding the time or energy to homestead. So we are starting out small and working our way up to homesteading as much as possible on our one acre parcel.
