Well hey there! You have found yet another blogging mom ... So now that you are here you may as well snoop around and see what this computer illiterate housewife has concocted on this here blog.
A little about myself...
My husband thinks I'm odd (he's one to talk) and my kids think I'm pretty much the best thing ever (usually). I, like the countless other and more clever women who have endeavored a blog of their own, love to take pretty pictures, garden, spend time with my family, figure out how to make everything on my own, and am in the process of honing my tightwadery skills to become the next biggest cheapskate in town...
My husband is a youth pastor (and a youth center leader and a substitute teacher) and we live in a gorgeous old apartment in a quirky little town with our two boys who are as energetic as the day is long.
Why yet another blog you ask? Because my sister wants me to. Also because I figure that if I publicly create a blog with a goal in mind I may be more inclined to make that goal happen.
What goal? I'm so glad you asked... you did ask didn't you? I have always dreamed of raising a big family on a big spread of land in an old farmhouse. Cliche, I know but there you have it. Chickens, barns, giant veggie gardens, you know the usual. In the here and now I am a stay at home home schooling (yeah I'm one of those people) mom and my husband is in the ministry. Calculator please? Ah yes, that adds up to exactly ... not allot of money. Be that as it may I am determined to prove that low income families can make goals happen not by increasing their income but by decreasing the spending. Income increase would be nice, don't get me wrong, but in the area I live in employment is desperately low and countless families feel trapped in their incomes because there is no way up the latter. It's depression times again, folks, it's time to plant gardens, barter babysitting for haircuts, hang laundry out to dry, and regain our self-sufficiency.
So here goes ...
