It is official

Well... it is official. We are having number four, and it is going to be a little girl. We are all excited! So that is the main reason for my gardening slacking lately. It kinda slows me down. But things are good here. I do, however have an interest in learning skills that will make our family more self sufficient. Some things I am interested, done some homework but have not yet tried are: soapmaking, making homemade lotion ( there were rave reviews on that one) making homemade yogurt and cheese to name a few. At this point, I am just too tired to do more than look into it and send myself links for when I am able to retrieve my own energy back and try a few of these.
