I bounced through the first years of my life in a hippie gypsy wagon, hand-built by my father, wandering the back roads of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. My family eventually settled into a tiny cabin in the woods on property that was once inhabited by American Indians. I spent my days searching for arrowheads, teaching myself to sew on a treadle sewing machine and to bake in a wood-burning stove, with no running water, refrigeration, or electricity in our home.
My family lived frugally and early on, inspired by my parent's thriftiness and style, I gained a clever knack for thrifty creativity and turning ordinary objects into something useful. And I dreamed of the home I would create for my own family someday.
Now I'm married to my husband, Colin, we have four sweet boys, and my dreams have come true. Along the way, I co-founded The Farm Chicks Show with my best friend and former business partner, Teri. We went on to establish thefarmchicks.com, and authored The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen. My next book, A Farm Chicks Christmas, will be released next year.
Teri has since retired from the business and I now run The Farm Chicks on my own. I talk about my life as an entrepreneur, wife, mom, author, and Contributing Editor for Country Living Magazine on my blog, Facebook, and Twitter.
I think of myself as the luckiest girl in the world, doing what I love day after day. I'm so happy to have you here and hope you'll visit often.
