What kind of HOMEGROWN are you?: Fill in the Blank

Fill in the blank:: Earth Mama in training

A bit about me:: We have 3 beautiful children in the beautiful woods of Southern Maine. We're renting a home right now and have thus far always been renters, but are CURRENTLY house hunting! YAY!

Because we've always rented, I had to learn the fine art of container gardening and making the most of the tiny patch of yard our landlord let me use for a raised bed. I can't WAIT to get our own place so I can REALLY garden the way I'd like to!

Latest greatest meal cooked at home:: Beef stew with home made bread

Currently reading:: I have to pick just one? Ok: Seed to Seed is on my table today :)

Currently listening to:: Wicca Radio on itunes internet radio...found under the category 'ambient'

My latest DIY project:: A make-shift barrier around the computer main components to keep toddlers from pressing buttons and pulling on wires. It consisted of cleverly cutting and bending a cardboard box to wrap around the area in question, with high flaps for adult to stick their hands up, over, and then into if a button needs pressing. Free materials, and it works like a charm!

Web site I recommend:: http://www.instructables.com
