Hello,
My name is Kimberly Rose and my Husband is Kelly. I am 40 yrs old and Kelly is 49 yrs old. We only have one child that hasn't left the nest and he is almost 13 yrs old. We live on a 75 acre farm in Eastern Kentucky. We have been fortunate enough to have a great business for years and actually work from home and Hubby and I are together all the time....:D We have decided to semi retire this year and have built us a very small little cabin in the woods. It is tiny but will serve our needs and keep things simple as that's what we are striving for is to lead a simple happy life. We are going totally off grid with no electricity. I know this will be challenging at first but we are so excited to get started. We have been staying in it some throughout the winter but will officially be living there in a couple of months. We have our own milk cow for our milk and we also are starting to make cheese , sour cream , butter, butter milk and all those goodies... We have lots of chickens for meat and we also have rabbits to eat too, along with all the wild game that Hubby hunts as well. Here is a pic of our little cabin and I will keep you posted on our progress as we go along.

This is our little cabin
