We’re two geriatric millennials living the rental life, attempting to opt out of consumer culture, spend less, live more, and raise kind humans.

We’re making decisions that move us away from the consumer culture in efforts to strengthen our family, buoy up our community, and live more intentionally.

Why are we the “Wilderness Mowers”? You can read that story here. New layers of meaning add to that name for us each year as well.

This blog is that journey. Follow along for the ups & downs, what we learn through success and failure, and the inevitable shenanigans that spice up life.
