Since it is a new year and new beginnings, I thought it would be a good idea to do a blog post that introduces you to Me -- so you know what makes me tick and why I like to share with all of you!!!!!
First, you need to know more than anything I love Jesus and strive to live my life to please Him! But....like everyone I am a sinner (but I am saved by His GRACE) and fall short daily! But....my blog will always point to HIM! I will not hide my faith! I will not fail to share Him always! He is the reason I live and the reason for everything I do!!!!! May this blog and my life bring Him glory always!
Next up.......the man of my dreams.....I have been married to Mike for 21years. It hasn't always been easy, and in fact, the last 4-5 years have been beyond tough. But...this man loves me thru it all! He loves Jesus and He loves us! He works hard for us! And...he continually puts up with all my crazy homesteading ideas!!!!! Thankful to have him by my side in this journey we call life!!!!

My kids.......God has blessed us with these 3 amazing children! Being their momma here on earth is the best job in the world. And...having them home with me every day to do school and learn to run the homestead is beyond priceless!!! I love them and pray daily for much Grace as I strive to teach them nothing is more important than following God and being obedient to His calling on their lives!

Homesteading --- many of you reading this will be laughing b/c you knew me 5+ years ago and are thinking "NO WAY!" But.....it's true, making this small farm we rent a self sustainable homestead is my new passion in life! This is nothing but from God bc a few years ago this city girl would NEVER have asked for any of this. But...I would be nothing but lying if I told ya'll I didn't like this new journey God has us on. I LOVE IT!!! I love my chickens! I love the rabbits! I love my huge garden! I love canning! I love dehydrating! I love being frugal! I love DIY projects! I love re-purposing and recycling to save us money! Most of this blog will be dedicated to life on the homestead so I hope you all enjoy learning with me as I go!!!!! And....making mistakes too!!!!

KNITTING -- This is another new passion and while I could have lumped it into homesteading, I decided it deserved an entire spot by itself!!! This is somethingI would never have enjoyed in my "past life" -- but I love knitting on my looms!!!! It's my new therapy!!!

| yarn makes me smile!!!! |
 |
| And....when I knit....these guys usually join me for snuggle time! |
Other things I like.......Being HOME!!!! Being in my kitchen!!!! Playing games with my family! Fieldtrips! Fires in my wood stove and our fire pit! Shooting my guns!! Doing my nails (yep farm girls like pretty nails too)! Singing in choir! Hiking in the mountains! Power Walking! Spending time with good friends! An occasional glass of Elderberry wine!!! My Plant Therapy essential oils!
 |
100% pure essential oils at a fraction of the cost of many MLM oils! Love them!!!!
|
So...that's a little about me! Now as you read my posts, you will know my heart and why I do what I do!!!! I hope this blog brings you inspiration and encouragement! I hope you will enjoy our adventures as much as we do! Thanks for joining us!!!
Blessings for a Happy Saturday --
