Here you will find little snippets of my life and how I try and grow food, feed my family healthy foods, sew, crochet, craft, knit , art and craft, preserve food and discover how to leave less of an environmental impact. You will see some homeschooling ideas and ways of making a comfortable and fun, albeit simple, home for my family.
