About Me

Zucchinimom: I'm trying to get through life growing food for my family and learning things to stretch the budget. I love to read, garden, quilt, preserving the harvest, and learning new things everyday! I consider myself a suburban homesteader and am using the little bit of land I've been blessed with! It's not about location; it's about attitude!!! And with everything, may all glory go to God!!!
