November 25, 2012- I had just learned what a blog was and was excited to try it. Pages that would normally fill journals filled spaces on this web sized book. To write stories that teach and inspire and make folks laugh while learning to farm and homestead was my idea. A compilation of tales that I wish I could have found at the beginning of my journey. I could have never imagined the amazing pieces of life we would be recording.
Indeed over the past year and a half you have put up with me pouting when we lost all that, started two more blogs, always return to this one. I use my own blog so often to find recipes that I might be one of my best followers! Over 110,000 times Farmgirl School has been read over the last four years. I am honored.
When I found out that we were actually buying a house, my inspiration came flooding back. Months of blog posts already half written in my mind. Home.

November 25, 2016- I can now use the skills I have learned about chickens and ducks, gardening, and decorating, cooking, and preserving, cooking on a wood stove, and intertwine them with new memories with my beautiful family, and all the things I want to learn, like Hugelkulter beds, and canning cranberry sauce to create many more years of Farmgirl School. And all the things along the way that I will learn and share and our world-wide community continues. We all share so may beautiful desires and wishes. To return to homesteading life was certainly ours. So here we go…
Buying your own house, that’s so exciting! I can’t wait to do the same in a few year’s time! 🙂 Congrats!! Can’t wait to see all of the new stories!
