I'm in no way a writer but I will do my best....Welcome..

I've decided that I have alot to share.After deciding to stay home with the baby I then realized that things are going to be different.Now with living on one income I had to take a different approach at life,which wasn't too drastic for me.I have always liked cooking from scratch and making bread and only being 30 years old,you could say I'm a little different than my peers...and that's ok with me.

In these times of economic difficulty some are saying going back to basics is what we should start doing,and I agree.I mean our grandmothers raised multiple children on less than we could ever imagine and they survived.I don't get caught up in buying clothes and shoes and a different purse every month.I save money by making homemade household cleaners,which disinfect and do a wonderful job!I cut down on paper towel waste by making rags out of old clothes and god forbid...socks!That's right I clean with used socks,gross well to each their own.But they are cleaned and make wonderful dust rags and are placed conveniently under the bathroom sink for quick clean up of messes...like toothpaste on or in the sink..yuck,I hate that.

So this is basically a place I want to come and share my thoughts and ideas and my daily happenings,because I'm proud of this simple life I have chosen.So I'll post pictures and tell you all about my life.I can share it better with pictures anyway...and I decided to write a blog..go figure..lol!

So share with me on this journey of gardening,canning,cooking,baking,a little farming,some baby raising and learning to live the simple life.
