This is crazy, but I am a little nervous about getting started here! Just to introduce myself, I am a mom of three beautiful girls - Sarah Paige (14), Anna Gayle (5), and Rachel Elizabeth (3) - and blessed to be married to a wonderful, godly man - Michael. I am in my first year of homeschooling with my 5yo. We are using the Sonlight curriculum and Math-U-See. I was introduced to HomesteadBlogger.com through The Old Schoolhouse magazine. I somehow stumbled across HowILoveThee and Quiverfull and have just really soaked these in. I look forward to reading some of the other members blogs. I have a LOT to learn about homesteading. I wasn't raised to be a homemaker, I was groomed to be a career woman. My husband and I decided that this was God's calling on our lives and I have spent the last five years trying to adjust!! I was opposed to homeschooling initially, but after praying about it, God changed my heart and I can now see the tremendous benefits. I have no real "homemaking" skills, so I am eager to learn from some of the seasoned homemakers. My husband bought me a HUGE pressure cooker - I think he is expecting a bountiful harvest this year!!!! We own about 65 acres of land on a mountain in Tennessee (about 25 acres are cleared) - we are looking forward to making good use of it someday. My husband is also building our house and doing all the work himself. He has a day job as the CFO of a missions organization, so you can imagine this is a slow process. But steady plodding will pay off and we will have our home debt free. We estimate that we have about three more years to go before it is finished. That doesn't sound so bad, except that we have been working on it for about 5 years already. But it is worth the wait. We are blessed beyond measure!!!! Oh well, I guess that's quite enough and church comes early in the morning!!!! |
