Hi I'm new to the forum I am 39 yrs and I have 5 kids one boy and 4 girls, my hubby is my high school sweetheart and we are changing our lives the first thing I have done is learn how to make my own laundry soap and fabric softener We have chickens, thinking of getting goats again (had them before )have plans to put in a garden and maybe some apple trees Hubby and I talked tonight about rain harvesting thinks it will be a good idea:D and getting a wood fernice I'm really looking forward to a healthy and better living We already have erdencent light bulbs in the house and I"m looking in to fixing up things around here to lower our uses so any ideas would be great

As everyone else said, welcome! There is definitely tons of useful ideas here. Be warned though, when the baby pics (animals) are posting you will definitely feel the tug to get more. LOL
