Our oldest is 24 married and expecting her first baby. Yes, we are going to be grandparents. We have 5 children, and many pets. We love animals. We bought 5 acres, 2 years ago and it has been nicknamed "the farm". My husband is living his dream. I find it as a wonderful opportunity for our children to experience so many things.
I am blessed to be able to stay home with our kids and homeschool them. I love staying home and helping my kids learn in so many ways. Another thing I love to do, is to see how far I can stretch my husbands paycheck. It can be time consuming but rewarding.
Another thrifty habit I have is...... throwing something away unless it is really broken.
We have so many old shirts the kids have outgrown, I keep them to use to wipe the windows. I love the griddles you can get at Christmas time for like $10. Ours has been left in the oven and baked, and the handle is broken, but it still works. A good friend of mine bought me a new one for Christmas and now I have 2. Until it no longer works, I just can't get rid of it.
I started this blog at the encouragement of a couple friends and my wonderful husband. I feel what we do is ordinary, but I thought I might have something interesting to share.
Really enjoyed your post. Will be looking forward to following you and your family. We live on 15 acres in WY. Used to have chickens and just loved them, but my husband is about to retire the end of this year and is looking forward to doing some traveling. Maybe after that we'll settle in and put this place to good use. Am now planning our garden for this year.
