My SS Journey

Her name is Alyanna Blair, born July 17th, 2015. She's 6 months now! I had her at home. It was a 4 hour labor with less than 10 minutes of pushing. it was crazy fast! I've been so busy! I had to go back to work. Cal is going to school to hopefully be a mechanic. He just started last week so he's got a while to go on that. We moved to a 3 bedroom house outside of town in august. Still just renting so I'm just doing a garden this summer. Last summers didn't end up working out because we moved. Plus I was big and pregnant and then had a newborn. I just couldn't keep up with it :(. Hopefully this year will be better! Hopefully we'll buy a house soon here with some land so I can start my hobby farm. The starting of the actual farm is going to be for a few years.
 
It is hard to do it all w/a baby.
 
I've been doing small things to start my road to self sufficiency. I'm going to be making my own soap (laundry, body and other). Also, when we finally get a deep freezer, make bread dough and freeze it along with stocking up on a lot of non parishables. We already have enough ground venison to last until deer season so I don't have to buy burger! Which is great!
