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. 1 day down, 364 more to go...

I ate right today.

All of Christmas is packed up and put away.

Cleaned in the basement today. Went through some boxes. Found several items that I listed on freeycle. Started an ebay pile, and found items to give as Christmas for 2008. I now have 6 things in the Christmas 2008 box!!!!

Listed 1 auction on ebay.

Cleaned out my dressers.

All the laundry is caught up.

Will get to bed before midnight.

Went up and down the basement and upstairs steps about 20 times-that should count as some sort of exercise....

Entered 2 items in a writing contest. Will see how it goes. I've won 2 lately. The ones I think will win, don't, and odd ones often do great. I thought these were real good, so probably will get zelch.

And best of all, none of my kids got into trouble today!!!! YEE HAW

I think it's a leap year, so 366 days! :-) Great job on your chores! I need to put in some extra effort at my house soon, too.
