Rengeko's Home Page Phase One



About me
This homepage is to chronicle our family's move to the country-I hope. We want to live (fairly) simply, growing our own food and such. But of course, we still have to have internet access...;) We want to build our own house out of straw bales, and run our house on solar energy. Most of my links are in that line, of course.
What I'm interested in:
  • Sustainable Living
    Of course, sustainable living comprises a lot of areas, but the ones I am most concerned with are the food and energy areas. I believe in growing your own food, and harvesting your own energy from the sun and wind.
  • Home Birth/Breastfeeding
    When my daughter was born, I was planning a home birth-now, this didn't work out, but I am still a firm believer in both home birth and breastfeeding-I did nurse my daughter for 8 months, and would have longer, but for circumstances beyond my control. (I wonder if the fact that my mother was a midwife while I was growing up affected my views?)
  • Reading Reading Reading!!
    My first love, really. I read an average of 7 books a week, though they aren't all good stuff, I do read fluff. I read a lot of fantasy, zen texts, some romances-fluff alert!, reference materials-mostly building, animal husbandry, organic gardening and such, and I have a huge shelf of home birth and breastfeeding references!
