I'm a newbie here. :-)
Hi everyone. I'm new to the site and trying to get ahead of the game with our finances. About me...I homeschool our four kids. I like trying new recipes so DH will stop complaining about boring food. And I'm trying to learn about urban homesteading. We moved into a trailer park a few months ago and now I'm wanting to start a container garden for some of our fave veggies (lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes at least...potatoes would be nice). So let me know of any good websites for that.
Hope to make a lot of new friends here!

Aloha and welcome from Hawaii!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
