about me
A conservadox stay at home mom of 4 little munchikins. We have just left a lifetime in suburbia behind, and moved into the country to live a greener, cleaner, healthier, rural life. We have started a sustainable farm, and are working hard to rehab our 1840's farm house, post and beem barn, and work land that has been left to just be for the last 30 years or so. It is fun and challenging all at once.
