East Tennessean Wife, Mom and Nonna. Raised with old fashioned values and respect for my Elders. Love sewing, country cooking, crafting and gardening. I find the greatest pleasure in sharing and teaching life skills to the young or young at heart! The Little House books created a love for growing things and makes stuff yourself from scratch, not to mention, a sense of urgency every Fall to prepare. Perfection is sitting in front of a fire, sipping hot chocolate with a large pot of soup simmering and corn bread for later while listening to Home Free.
