Hello from Deepsouthmamma-(Autumn)

Hi there! I am so happy to be a part of this chapter of Farmgirls!

I’m a long-time Farmgirl and have lived the farmgirl life for most of my …well..

here goes…50 years!!

 Can I really be 50???

Well, only on the outside- the inside is still about 28-30 I think.

  What does that lifestyle mean?

 Well for me it means animals, gardens, kids,dirt,sewing,canning,jelly making.and lots more.Mostly it means making do with what you have and being content with simple pleasures.

I have five kids(one of which is very proud to have been born at home) and seven grandkids.We live on 10 acres of woods in the south and work hard just to keep up the place. My husband works a full time job  and for the last 24 years I have been schooling our 5  kids.

 When we first moved here my husband and I built a cabin – nothing fancy- just a simple cabin – and moved our 3 kids and ourselves in and began a dream of establishing our “homeplace”. We named it PROVIDENCE- knowing that God had placed us here by His providence.

I cannot begin to tell you how many times we have been amazed at His provision for us.He knew so much better than us what we have needed and when we needed it!

Our cabin days were without electricity and running water. We did EVERYTHING the hard way- and it can be done!

The cabin days are  our favorite stories to tell- and we do repeat them often.
