I have been urged by family and friends to share more of my crazy adventures in food, home-educating, urban farming, sewing, up-cycling and such.... so here I go. #1 - My life is crazy. - Raising four girls (who learn at home) in a 1,100 sq. foot house with 21 backyard (livestock) animals and 2 barn cats, a kitchen garden to tend.... leaves not much time to spare.

#2 - My life is messy. - Despite the guiding (haunting?) words of my mother "Never be in the situation where you have to say 'excuse the mess'... I am most often a mess. Darn. I got my love of food and beauty from you, Mom - but unfortunately not organization.

#3 - My life is beautiful - and so is yours. - I will attempt to share what thrills me and causes me to call up my sisters, Mom or other unsuspecting friends and chat incessantly about what I just 'created'... I am fully aware that each life is uniquely lovely and creative - and since I enjoy reading about other people's blogs who create... there may be a few of you who will want to read mine.

In the words of Glennon Melton from momastery - my life is a brutiful mess. I hope that you will enjoy following it! With jittery fingers and a nervous stomach - I am going to hit 'post' and get started! I have too many post ideas stored up... so let's go!

To get started, I'll post a few pictures of some of my favorite things!:
