| Introduction | We have 7 kids ages 16 through 2 years old and one baby due in June! Besides kids we have 3 dogs, 2 cats and 30 chickens, 3 guineas, and 2 geese. My husband and I are crazy about each other; we embrace traditional family roles, and obviously like having a houseful of kids. I'm into vintage/retro things, art, and starting new projects. I enjoy homemaking and farming. I'm a trained doula and home birth advocate and have had five fantastic unassisted births. I have a intense passion for: being a good mom and wife, natural family living and child care, chicken farming, gardening, canning, homesteading, re-purposing, up-cycling, natural baby care, unassisted birth and midwifery. My hubby grew up on a farm (that experience comes in super handy) and has a degree in economics and a masters in finance. Our family is the most important thing to us and we just love our hectic kid-crazy life! I hobby blog a bunch because I enjoy writing; I also write here because I can save a blog as a pdf file and print them up as memories and stories from our life. I want to always have these memories, because so many do fade. I want my children to one day read about how much we love them and each other. |
