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.

3rd no spender in a row

April 16th, 2008 at 10:45 pm

Spent nothing Mon, Tues or today.

In fact, Mon and today I never left the house, so no fuel used either.

Today it has been in the 70's, so I turned off the heat and opened windows.

Tomorrow and Friday should also be ns days, but Sat and Sun we will be out of town for a 4H event, so we will spend some on gas. However, we are staying with relatives instead of 2 nights in a hotel, and I plan on taking a cooler for our meals on the road and while at our event. So, it will be a cheap trip except for fuel.

Wow..you are doing so well with those no spend days. So far this month we've only done 4 NSDs.

No-spend days are the best. I stay home sometimes just to avoid spending money!
