About Me:

In 2006 I quit my city job of 20+ years to remarry, move and become a "farm wife". For the most part, I am a stay at home mom.

As of the 2007 school year, we are a homeschooling family.

We also farm. Our farms include a large garden, haying, horses, cows, geese, chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits, 2 stocked ponds, small vineyard and an orchard.

We live at the main farm (the one with the animals) and our other farm is currently growing hay, nuts and firewood to harvest this fall.
In the spring we will be adding sheep, and turkeys.

We have 5 daughters, (including 2 sets of twins) 3 who are still at home.

I love to camp, travel, garden, fish, bake, do needlework, sew, genealogy and ride horses. One of my favorite places to travel to is Northern Indiana (LaGrange county), where I have Amish cousins and to learn about my ancestors.

My goal is to help this family stay on track financially and to stay out of debt, other than our mortgage.

OK. After a year of reading these. I'm in.
We start with $20, correct? I have $47 left over from Christmas money, so I will throw $20 of that in to start. My goal is declutter, and make $$$ doing it.

Sold some books (twice now) on cash4books. (If anyone wants a link, PM me and I'll send it to you). That will be $13,80 to add, but I won't add it till its in my paypal account. I am sending the box of books in tomorrow. They even pay the shipping.

So total $20.00
