Hello from Texas
I just found this site and after a good look through, I think I belong here!
I have two daughters who are 12 and 21 months. The younger one was our foster child and soon to be legally ours through adoption. I have taught college, but now I am a stay at home parent and home school my 12 yr old. I am a designer who works with costumes, live theatre, sewing anything, quilting, etc. If it's fabric, I want to do something with it. I love canning, growing food and making stuff we need instead of buying it.
