Welcome to my first blog post. Simple Living has different meanings for different people. For me it means:
- Living within my means
- Living with the knowledge that I share this earth
- Living with a sense of community
Want to learn more about living simply in the Mad City? Here are a few city resources to get you started:
- City of Madison Streets and Recycling Department
Madison has one of the best recycling programs in the country. - City of Madison Parks
Get closer to nature with hiking and biking trails, volunteer opportunities, workshops and more—and most activities are free! - Madison School & Community Recreation
MSCR offers classes in pottery, photography, dance, art, music. Start that DIY project and have fun.

Living within one's means is next to impossible these days. Can't wait to read about your ideas.
ReplyDeleteGood first post. It was simple, held my attention, and provided some great preliminary resources. A picture of the city would have made it a little more visually stimulating, but all in all a good foundation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments! I have some ideas but I'm also hoping folks will share suggestions about living simply.
ReplyDeleteOn the photo...great idea! I was being a chicken and waiting until we had some instruction on adding images before attempting it...but I think I'll go for it next time and just try it. Visuals would definitely help.
