Why Blog??

I figure everyone else is doing it, so why shouldn't I, right? I have something to say, to share, to add..probably. I have many "labels"..retired teacher, mother of two, christian, urban farmer, just to name a few. I moved to the midwest from the south seven years ago, and thus began my journey. I am a stay at home mom (SAHM) that homeschools my two children who have severe food allergies. After being in education for 15 years, I couldn't in good conscience send my kids to school. I know too much. My husband and I currently live in an urban neighborhood close to his work. I like the people, and the fact that I can walk to most everything. We plan on moving to a farm someday. Meanwhile, we'll just make our backyard look like a small Green Acres. I homeschool year-round, as life is year-round, and I don't use a set curriculum. That's about it in a nutshell. So, I plan to write about what I know and want to know: homeschool, urban farming, food allergies, and the quest for good BBQ.
