Who are we?

I am a single mom to a wonderful little boy. We garden. We learn. We travel. We live our life instead of living vicariously through others. We are on a tight budget and have founds ways to maximize every dollar.

My son (Cowboy) is 6 years old and is a history buff. He is currently fascinated by American History and wants to visit every National Park. When he is not sleeping he is listening to audio books, digging in the dirt and sand, building various structures around the yard and riding his bike. I am just your average mom,  I ensure that my son is getting a proper education, eats healthy foods and is always dressed warm enough in the sweater I knitted.

In short, we are just like everyone else. I save leftovers for us to eat another day by dehydrating them. I drive a van and chauffeur my son all over town, the van just happens to have a closet, sink and bed in the back that is perfect for extended field trips.

We are hoping to get a couple of pets in the next year or so but we are undecided on what type to get. I want sheep, cowboy wants goats. 

We have a few things that make us unique, like the fact that we are both on the autism spectrum (I was diagnosed at the age of 12 and Cowboy at the age of 3) but when it comes right down to it we are just your average everyday family.
