Stay At Home Mom

I guess I should have a little post about myself. My name is Jenn B and I grew up in Northeast Ohio. I am a 25 year old stay at home mom and wife. I married my best friend and the man of my dreams in October of 2010. Marrying him also meant living in Alabama and so I went to college at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. We had our first child in April of 2012 and have recently returned to Ohio to be closer to our family. Since Elena turned 1 and started running as well as eating real food, I have lost 55lbs and adopted an all around healthier lifestyle. I grew up on white bread, hot dogs, and mac&cheese. It's taken my adult years to learn to enjoy whole grains, veggies, and eating clean (it's a work in progress). My mission is to expose my family to healthier meals and better nutrition. I try to make as much from scratch as I can. I bake our bread, can our jam, make soups, ect. We try very hard to keep processed food to a minimum. Not only are they expensive but this way I have more ingredient control. 

My husband and I are very interested in self sustainable living and so on our one acre, we have been gardening and getting ready to have a micro farm. This fall we will bring chickens home and we have begun discussing having a milk goat. Rain barrels and composting are on the list as well.

I enjoy knitting, crocheting, cooking, canning, bike riding, sun tanning, gardening, coffee, and long car rides.

We used to watch waaaay too much tv so we shut the cable off! Now we have more time to focus on reality instead of watching it manufactured for the masses.  (Yes, I used to LOOOOOVE reality tv!) 

I'm tired, so I guess that's me. There is so much more but it's always moving. This is just a photograph, stay tuned and as always...
