What We Blog About

A little background info never hurt anyone.  Grab a beer (or a cup of tea) and get yourself cozy and familiar with all we have to offer. 

     

    Sweat & Shovels

    In June 2013, four young Missoulian friends pooled their talents and resources to purchase a historical home in need of serious love.  As Slant Street Empire Builders, they are resurrecting this home one bead of sweat at a time.  Follow the progress each week as they breathe life back into what was once the eye-sore of the neighborhood.

     

    The Silver Streak

    After six-years in Brooklyn, Katie and Paul ditched their beloved city for a 1984 Silver Streak travel trailer and a parking place on Katie's grandparent's Christmas tree farm in Oregon. Follow along as they renovate the trailer into a sweet little home and learn the ins and outs of mobile living. 

     

    Living On a Budget

    The Herring family attempts to scale back to a one-income household thriving on $26,000 a year.  Read about the creation of their budget, their struggles to live within new boundaries, and the lessons they learn along the way.

     

    Raising the Moon

    Little Moon arrived in March 2013.  Each month we share our latest adventures in the land of parenting, Herring style.  Herring style is a little crunchy, with a dab of redneck, and dose of Yupik.  This includes, but is not limited to: cloth diapering, hunting and babies, advice from our families,  getting dirty, reading books, breastfeeding, and minimalist parenting.

     

    Provisions for Survival 

    Hunting, fishing, farming, foraging, gathering, gardening, jarring, collecting, canning, pickling, plucking, providing, subsisting. We value the ability to provide food for our selves and our families. Join us as we navigate the land and the seasons to put food on the table. 

     

    Five Little Details

    Life is a vast and complex place - full of options, opportunities and challenges. When it gets all too overwhelming, Katie reminds herself to look down and focus on the small and lovely details that make life so sweet. These biweekly posts will feature five little details observed and collected through photography. 

     

    Inspirations

    We all are surrounded by amazing people with inspiring stories.  Each month we will introduce you to two people who inspire us to live lives our 15 year-old-selves would be proud of.
