Moving...

After 4 months of living in Ojai, Ca (one of the most awesome places in the US, if I may say so myself) my husband and I decided it would be best for us to move in with my parents. We were doing fine financially, but we just weren't happy. We were living in paradise and hardly got to enjoy it as a family because my husband was working his tush off to pay for all our expenses.

We don't exactly live a frugal lifestyle. We eat mostly raw, all organic vegan food. We try to only buy organic clothing. We try to make choices that are friendly to the environment and animals and that is REALLY expensive in Ojai. So this really is the best choice for our family!

Eventually we are going to move into a camper that we are in the process of purchasing from my mother-in-law. We'll be able to travel around the US, unschooling our daughter on the road. This would have been impossible if we stayed here in Ojai.

Still, I am pretty disappointed. If you love the outdoors, Ojai is the place to live. There are so many beautiful places to hike and the weather is always gorgeous (albeit hot during the summer). The people are so genuinely friendly, and there are 2 places with organic vegan options.


Ojai, we will be back. The last four months here have been blissful and amazing. Time for the next chapter in our adventure...beautiful San Diego!
