About Cottage at the Crossroads

This blog is about the journey my husband and I have been on for over 10 years now. You see, we moved to the small, approximately 100 year old house that he had grown up in, located on land that has been in his family since the 1700's.  There are thousands of crossroads across America, but this blog is about our family's Crossroads, a little corner where we have learned how to live a more simple life.

This blog chronicles the downsizing of our lives, a journal of words and pictures recording the evolution of ourselves becoming more frugal and resourceful, and ultimately, much happier. Come along with us as we garden, cook some family recipes, and share countless do it yourself crafts and projects at the Cottage at the Crossroads.
