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.

Not as planned

I hate getting old.

10 years ago I would have gone to the city today. But it just rained too much. I didn't want to get out and get the kids out in it. So, will have to do my trip tomorrow.

10 years ago I would not have gotten the speghetti out of the pantry and laid it down and lost it. So much for speghetti for supper tonight. I did elbow macaroni noodles instead, so we are calling it Italian Goloush....

10 years ago I would not of forgotten I already made a gallon of tea and made another....

10 years ago, I had a housekeeper who did my cooking and cleaning (because I just delivered twins and just came off of bedrest). That is all I'd like to go back to though...

But, today ended up being a NS and NF (no fuel) day. Yee haw.
