A few years ago, Julie and I were like most Americans: running our butts off between work, home and kids events. We were working our butts off, running around like chickens with our head’s cut off.
Why?
We were trying to maintain a lifestyle we couldn’t possibly afford while projecting “happiness and prosperity.” We really didn’t have a direction, purpose or plan. It was an endless “do loop” of wake up, go to work, go to kids’ thing, eat dinner, go to bed….wash, rinse and repeat.
Enter a few life changing events, and we decided to jump off the hamster wheel of our “keeping up with the Joneses” lifestyle. We decided to make some big changes and chart a new path for our lives.
We are so thankful we got off the hamster wheel. What we have discovered (through a lot of trials and even more errors) is that more is not always better and that life is so much more meaningful with less. We have a plan and are building a life that we don’t need a vacation from.
Julie and I are here to help you find that same joy and contentment in your life. Let us help you find your Small Scale Life and chart a new path.
Tom and Julie
What can I tell you about me? Well, I’m a born and bred Minnesota girl who loves a good hotdish and drinks pop instead of soda. (Actually, I’m now a recovering Diet Coke addict!) I love all things flowers but primarily leave the growing of them to my talented hubby. I am a florist by trade and love creating beautiful things not just with flowers but with anything I can get my hands on. Oh yeah… I’m also a reformed shop-a-holic who still loves shopping but is now passionate about thrifting and finding treasures… but not too many treasures to clutter up our minimal lifestyle! 🙂
