Go to bed with your spouse.

One rhythm in our marriage that began almost accidentally but I believe has been one of the most important rhythms of our life has been going to bed at the same time. It’s a launch pad for a daily debrief when days are full, it’s a moment of physical connection and don’t miss the symbolic significance of this simple act. Only recently have I realized that I believe it’s one healthy habit that would be a game changer for most marriages.

Why I make these podcasts.

I’ve been asking myself this question recently: why are you taking the time to write these posts? They actually take quite a bit of time and my schedule feels maxed out. Although I often wonder how busy I truly am in comparison to everyone else who also feels busy, I struggle to think of an objective way to measure that. The most basic reason I’ve been writing is because I’m really enjoying it.

Is farming your full-time job?

Someone asked me recently how I made the transition from Snowboarders & Skiers for Christ to farming in New Hampshire, and whether farming is how we are making a living for our family. The simple answer is no. It would be extremely difficult to make a living doing what we’re doing and it’s actually not our goal. In this post I aim to share a better picture of how our family spends our time and energy. I’ll also briefly explore the state of farming in America and why very few people are making a living growing food on small farms, though I understand it is possible.

One summer I repaired over 80 lawn mowers.

One of the last summer’s that we were living in Colorado I repaired and sold over 80 lawn mowers. The business was simple. I posted ads online that I would pick up lawn mowers in any condition for free, the farthest I would drive for them is about 10 minutes. Then I would fix them and sell them for $80-$200 on craigslist and facebook marketplace. It wasn’t about the money, it was mostly fun to take something broken and make it work.

This is the perfect daily routine.

One of my most up-front goals when I moved to New Hampshire was to slow down. Cities are great at many things, fostering a lifestyle of high productivity is certainly one of them. After living almost 15 years in the suburbs of Denver I would occasionally drive by someone who broke down on the side of the road and think “gee, I wish I had the time to help them.” I’ve realized that this is a lifestyle choice. One that has not come automatically.
