The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.

This is the story of two girls in their mid twenties on a quest to find balance between their rural fantasies and suburban realities.

We met about two years ago through a mutual friend. It was an unlikely match; Heather, a loud tattooed social worker with a blue collar boyfriend, a dirty apartment and two scraggly cats, and Morgan, a shy stay-at-home mom of a toddler with a mortgage and a computer whiz husband. But it was kismet and soon we were spending our Sundays together, eating pho and pretending to exercise.

We found ourselves spending much of our time dreaming of having a farm and living off the land. Our summer Sundays were filled with farmers markets and looking for farming type adventures. And our winter Sundays? Pizza and reality TV.

We are starting this blog as a challenge to ourselves to stop talking the talk of organic foods, active lifestyles and simple pleasures and start walking the walk. This is us cutting down and growing up. Learning as we go, making mistakes and failing better next time.
