Welcome friends, family, and friendly strangers. I have had many of my friends ask me many questions regarding my gardening and homesteading and thought that I would share my successes and failures here for everyone.
I am a married young woman with two young children (11 years old and 4 years old). I am a full-time homemaker, chauffeur, gardener, zoo keeper, handy-woman, fitness buff, and a self proclaimed apocalypse junkie. I love to read books about the different ways the world could end and my favorite television show is The Walking Dead.
Why I do what I do?
A few years ago I had a one year old that continually was getting hives and rashes. Turns out he was allergic to the antibiotics they feed to farm animals so he would break out every time he drank milk or ate eggs. So I switched him to organic milk and we have not had a single rash in 3 years now. We had four hens that I had kept from a batch of 2 dozen chicken eggs I hatched in my classroom. They gave us fresh organic eggs until we had to relocate them due to our county's ordinance. This is changing this year and many people will be able to enjoy their own fresh eggs.
At this time I took inventory of my life and made the committment to lose over 200lbs. In order to do this I had to adopt a healthy lifestyle. I am now about 40lbs from my goal weight and I feel so much better. I am addicted to Bodypump by Les Mills and love how strong my body has become (comes in handy hauling tons of dirt around the yard).
My intention with this blog is to inform and entertain you as well as learn from you. So I hope that you will check back frequently and see how things are progressing.
