Hello and welcome to my blog.   I am dedicating this blog to preserving a simpler way of life soon to be lost in our fast paced lives that are moving more and more toward technology and away from down home country lifestyles of our ancestors.    I want to preserve the knowledge, especially in our children, that fruit/veggies come from outside (and sometimes actually out of the <gasp> dirt!)  and not a grocery store, food can be made at home and not from a pass through a drive though or from a prepackaged non-tasty sodium packed meal "kit", and I will cover many other aspects of the country lifestyle, including country home design and livestock management.  So stay tuned in as I share things that I am very experienced with (like horses and canning) and things that I've always wanted to try (like soap or cheese making)

I am a busy working mom who lives on a farm in NC.  Busy is my way of life.   So this blog will show how to fit aspects of country living into our modern busy lifestyles.

Welcome to my blog. Please check back soon for new entries.
