My blog isn't about us kids and our hardships growing up. It's the next chapter in my mothers life. The one where the hard part is over. When do you get to that point that you in your life that you can enjoy its simplicity?
She's surrounded by nature a on plot of land in the middle of Pure Michigan that she has called her own for over 40 years. She's made a paradise out of nothing and it's pure serenity to get away from the fast paced life of social media, horrible news, and bad politics.
After my brother and I grew up and flew the coop my mother really started living. Living they way she wanted to live. Peaceful, simple and not answering to anyone. Total dream right?
No credit cards, no outstanding debt, just living and sharing her life with her pets. She has multiple chickens of various breeds. Bantam chickens that roam free and do just crazy things. Geese that guard her spring fed pond. Cats and dogs that are both entertaining and purposeful when wild life comes creeping up for a snack.
When you're not caught up in dead end job spending more time at work than with family. She's artsy fartsy with wood crafts made out of recycled lumber, she designed hand bags and tote bags made from up-cycled juice bags and animal feed bags, sells crafty items on Etsy and Ebay and not to mention her mad skills with a chain saw cutting down trees the young age of 68. I don't mess with my mom!
My goal is to share tidbits of her relaxed often humorous world so you can live vicariously through her. Enjoy
