Hello to all y’all,
This blog is created with the intend to encourage other moms in this journey called motherhood. A place of info, humor, and country wisdom.
There will be a lot of boy related post’s, due to the fact that I am a mom to 3 boys. I plan to write on household corner-cutting, boy activities, sewing projects, & of course my personal opinion on what ever comes to me.
I am a creative, type B, work from home, wife and mother of three boys. Sewing and creating items from second hand denim are my main hobby. Shopping at 2nd hand stores are also a favorite pastime of mine, especially when I can score items to resell!
I am a bit of a Jill of all trades… there are not many things I have not done!
I am the oldest of 11 children. This created opportunity to learn to do a lot of unique things.
Such as :
running chainsaws,
driving tractors,
fixing small engines,
stacking hay,
helping with maple season,
cooking for a crowd,
working in a large garden,
helping in greenhouses,
canning, milking goats,
helping my dad in his electric & plumbing business,
doing laundry,
taking care of babies,
helped with building a house,
teaching younger siblings to read.
As a teen/ young adult, I worked at an produce auction, cleaned high end houses, milked at a couple dairies as a relief milker, babysat, and helped care for an elderly neighbor.
After meeting my husband and getting married in 2001, I began life as a homemaker and worked from home, babysat, sold Tupperware, did custom sewing and ran my own mini garden center. Since our boys came along, we also have a bit of a farmstead going on here with our goats & Chickens!
My daily life at this stage of the journey revolves around my husband’s busy work schedule, housework, our boys’ school schedule, and my part-time teaching at our private school. Cooking also takes up a bit of my time, these boys of mine know how to eat hardy!
I enjoy my crazy life for the most part and look forward to the new challenges that await! I still have a few things on my bucket list tho, Just give me time!!
BTW, My name is Dory, Thank you for reading my blog and I look forward to meeting you as we walk this parenting journey!
