Hi everyone, here's a little more about me, just in case the list wasn't enough!

We are hoping to move to Powhatan County soon and build a new house. The walls are closing in on us here and the school system out here is horendus. I used to teach so I don't have a problem homeschooling if I have to but I was looking forward to having a house with a basement and my FIL is supposed to give us 20 acres!!! Yea, I can finally have a garden and learn how to can!

We have chickens now and love getting eggs everyday. We are about to wecome some new lab puppies to the family and hope to sell every one of them and pay off the credit card!

My son Tyler is absolutely one of the most adorable kids in the universe...followed a close second by his little sister Madelyn. Tyler's favorite thing to do is look at a completely strange women when we are in public and yell, "Lady, you're SMOKIN HOT"

Maddie Grace loves to dance, especially to Dancing with the Stars. Her favorite saying is "no no no"

I like to quilt but need a new sewing machine, I would love to learn how to can like my grandmothers, we are trying to eat healthier and avoid processed foods. I constantly trade my clothing with other moms and have to buy very little for my kids. I am not a girlie girl, hate makeup, and definitely prefer jeans and t-shirts. I even wear jeans to church.

I recently started using and selling Shaklee products (I love their laundry and cleaning lines) and if anyone wants to look at or order anything my website is www.shaklee.net/lorihadams and I also do The Secret Pays http://thesecretpays.com/yessecretpays for extra money.

I like to hunt and so does my hubby...me- deer and turkey, him- duck and goose and sometimes deer. My mom and dad both hunt too and we all love to fish. We have a worm farm so that we have an endless supply of free bait for my kids.

I am new here but already love this site...thanks,

Lori

Hello Lori,


You sound like me in the jean, tee shirt, hunt, fish department.

Of course I am a lot older than you are. LOL

I have always been a non-girly girl. Your kids sound great. Thank goodness mine are now all grown and I get to spoil my grandkids.

Lots of good info here. But sounds like you also have lots to share with us.

 

[punkin]

Yep, I'm a jeans and T shirt (now sweatshirt) gal, too. When I go out, I wear make-up only as a kindness to others.

I love gardening and being outside. I used to hunt (rabbit & dove) with my dad. Now, I'm waaaaay to tenderhearted to kill anything (other than spiders or flies). But, I do love a good piece of meat.

And,

ROFL!! Yes! That's why do it too. It would just be too cruel to subject people to my makeup free face!!!
