Coming back to the blog front

...is anyone out there?

After a long and much needed rest from blogging...not that i did it much anyway. I think I am ready to start blogging about my life. We now have two kids and, God willing, will have more.

So far in my life - two kids. My daughter, who is 2.5, and my son, who is 7 months. They take over most of my life but in the mean time I am going to school 3/4 time, trying to grow all our own veggies this year, and we are really considering getting some rabbits to feed ourselves meat. I plan on canning and freezing much of our veggies that we can't eat at the moment and whatever we can't eat - I am going to plop it into our worm composting bin. I figure whoever is out there reading me can go along in my adventures with me.

We are a small Catholic family trying to be self sustainable, trying to make my small sub-urban home into a homestead. I will try to post crafty stuff online also. I feel the urge to sew, make, bake, and whittle. Ok maybe not whittle but I am definitely in love with tools - chain saw, table saw, hack saw, router, - you name it - I want it. I have all these plans to build and make all of my own furniture. So stay tuned and you can find out how I do.

Next on the list is putting in my own fence. Trying to keep the animals in and the strangers out. Hopefully I will remember to take pictures so I can blog about it.

till next time...
