Hello from the show me state!

Some of you know me as whiskeylivewire on HT. I am a full time student(15 hours of online classes) and a mother to 5. 3 are from my womb, 2 are from my heart. I am married to a wonderful man and we are slowly but surely getting a homestead. We live in the country, we have dogs and cats, now we are working on getting chickens, possibly goats and at least one cow. I can't wait to start my garden and I have a few things growing inside already. I can't wait to get to know all of you as we help each other on our homesteading path and our path with God! Take care, Nicole

Welcome to our little part of the world Nicole. I like the way you said you had 2 kids from the heart. My son is also from the heart. I use to tell him that he didn't grow in my tummy, but in my heart.

I'm glad you decided to join us. Right now the forum is a little slow, but seems to be picking up a little.

I'm also looking forward to starting my garden. I plan on putting in my second herb garden this year too.

My Mom was born and raised in Poplar Bluff. I still have some second cousins and a great aunt that live there.

I bought one of those herb garden sets at dollar general and I have sprouts! The other day DH wanted to give me something as a present just to be nice and instead of buying me flowers he bought me this tiny claypot that came with 4 leaf clover seeds! And an inside tomato grower as well! I don't eat tomatoes but I like to grow everything so I thought that was nice of him and now I have some things turning green when it's so cold out! yay! lol

LOL Those are the best kind of gifts. Last year for Christmas Joe bought me supplies to make soap, complete with a book to teach me how. I haven't tried it yet, but have a couple of goats who should be giving birth in the next couple of weeks. I plan on making some goat milk soap.
