Halving It All: Here We Go Again!
http://halvingitall.blogspot.com/2012/07/here-we-go-again.html
Downsize Your Life and Get it Right. Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Here We Go Again! We finally did it! We soon will have an orchard, chickens, gardens and lots of berry production (that's what grows best here). Older, wiser (I hope) and with renewed enthusiasm, I return to this blog prepared to face the hard questions. Questions I've been struggling with for longer than I care to admit:. How much money is enough? What is my "share" of the world's resources? Think of this as "Halving It All" part 2:. Will I ...

Halving It All: A Sustainable Home?
http://halvingitall.blogspot.com/2012/07/sustainable-home.html
Downsize Your Life and Get it Right. Wednesday, July 11, 2012. First things first - the house. If you've read this blog, you'll remember we've been trying to downsize for several years. I liked my old house - it had huge rooms and more than enough space for all of us. Our living room was 20 feet by 14 feet or so. My bedroom 20 x 12. I was able to sit 25 people down to dinner. Can you say spacious? Our new house is 2300 sq feet (I think! I will upload pics soon! Posted by Jennifer Feddersen. Tag along for...

Halving It All: Halving Your College Costs
http://halvingitall.blogspot.com/2011/03/halving-your-college-costs.html
Downsize Your Life and Get it Right. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Halving Your College Costs. This is a very hard post for me to write. Today I got some news that put the nail in the coffin of my oldest son's plans to attend a university in the United States. For those of you who don't know my situation, we immigrated to Canada from the US about six years ago to be near my husband's family and to be able to pursue our dreams of self-employment. The results are in. But the scholarships aren't enough. Sinc...

Halving It All: Halving Your College Costs, Part 2
http://halvingitall.blogspot.com/2012/07/halving-your-college-costs-part-2.html
Downsize Your Life and Get it Right. Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Halving Your College Costs, Part 2. I was floored a year ago when I realized my oldest son wouldn't be heading off to a four-year university like we'd planned. I was more than floored - devastated is a more accurate word. I'd spent years preparing him for just that outcome and I felt betrayed. What use was all that schooling without the crowning glory of a four-year degree? Why not take out a loan? Am I against college? Much more on this later.

Halving It All: Hard Choices
http://halvingitall.blogspot.com/2011/02/hard-choices.html
Downsize Your Life and Get it Right. Thursday, February 10, 2011. I am far from perfect. I struggle with keeping a consistent life vision in my head, and I have an all or nothing type personality which means I'm often riding high on a new project or crashing and burning with an old one. I can make new decisions. In fact, I'm suffering today because I am making a decision over and over again: I am choosing to edit audio for far more hours than is comfortable for my body because I want to get it done a...

Halving It All: Kids Halving it All
http://halvingitall.blogspot.com/2011/02/kids-halving-it-all.html
Downsize Your Life and Get it Right. Thursday, February 24, 2011. Kids Halving it All. Two days ago I announced to my family that spring break (in three weeks) was going to mean spring cleaning for us. After working 24/7 for the last year and a half I need a break and my house needs to be scrubbed from top to bottom. Being the good mom that I am, I yelled at him. :(. It's good to know the kids have absorbed de-cluttering skills, however. Posted by Jennifer Feddersen. Labels: Halving Your Stuff. A Global ...

Halving It All: Radical Homemakers, by Shannon Hayes
http://halvingitall.blogspot.com/2011/02/radical-homemakers-by-shannon-hayes.html
Downsize Your Life and Get it Right. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Radical Homemakers, by Shannon Hayes. Thanks to a recommendation on a forum, I ordered Radical Homemakers. For my Kindle last night and started reading it right away. I'm not sure how I missed this one before, since it's right up my alley. Anyway, I'm finding it's pushing me to think about "halving it all" in a whole new way. Why am I doing this? I find myself asking again and again. Is it worth it? What do I really need that money for?
