Introduction

Updated October 7, 2020 Who I Am (Introduction)    Most importantly to me, I’m a wife, mother, home-school teacher, and friend. That sounds really simple… so, how about adding in our hobby garden, ongoing “school project” flock of chickens, outdoor Guinea Pigs, twittering parakeets, one sweet bunny, the fact that I’m a mother to seven … Continue reading “Introduction”
