About me

Introduction	I live in Kansas with my husband, 2 dogs and 2 cats. I've always been into crafting and DIY home projects. I have struggled with my weight my whole life, and finally recently feel like that's getting under control. I'm a believer in using food as medicine, to treat the cause of a problem rather than its symptoms. DH and I are eating more healthfully, and it seems that healthy eating and growing your own produce go hand in hand. We are now trying to get "off the grid" as much as we can in our suburban rental home. No plans for solar panels or windmills, but we are putting in a large garden this year and will experiment with natural pest repelling methods in our "victory garden". Home "farming" gives you a personal relationship with your food and saves a lot of money- the higher petroleum prices go, the higher the price of food goes (due to petrochemicals used on plants, as well as fuel to ship the produce. I am all about recycling, greening my household, and leaving a smaller footprint as well as saving money!
