Sourdough starter - here I go again

My dear friend, Sandra has found another recipe for sourdough starter. I started mine today. She has already made bread and cinnamon rolls with hers.

You can join in the fun and get the recipes that Sandra is using over on her blog, Full Bellies Makes Happy Kids. They will be posted soon.

I got my break

Back in November, I posted about needing a vacation-a getaway.

Well I got my wish!

Five days in Dallas then a week later, six days in my hometown of Leesville Louisiana.

I will share more about my trip very soon.

I'm staying here

You know, once I came up with the name for this blog, I was ecstatic! I just love the name!

Once the divorce issues began, I felt like I was leaving behind my "farm wife" dream and lifestyle, so I needed a different name for my blog. I even started a new one, with a different name. While the name of it has sentimental meaning (I will explain in another post), I just didn't want to dump Heritage Homemaker.

I love everything old, antiques, history and the like. Because, to me, everything old has a story to tell. And...technically I will always be a homemaker. Even if I have a part time job or have a WAHM(work at home mom) business out of my home...my primary focus will always be my family.

So, here I am and I will continue on here at Heritage Homemaker.

Be sure to share my blog with your friends! The more, the merrier!

Wonderful changes for 2012

My life has taken a definite turn for the better in 2012! You can read all about it on my facebook page.

I am leaving behind my blogs and am staying over on Facebook, using it as a blog type function. I love the new Timeline layout that is on personal pages, it has such a bloggy feel.

I've not always been the best at posting on my blogs everyday like I really wanted to. I do, however, get on Facebook every day.

I know many have chosen to leave Facebook behind, as it tends to consume a lot of their time. I have found that since I am not a blogger that does really long posts and definitely not every day, staying with Facebook definitely fits what I want. I do not play any of the games and only stop in on Facebook when all of my chores for the day are done, or early in the morning before I start them.

Come on over there and if you are not already a *friend*, be sure to add me :-)

No Sugar Coating It

I'm just not going to do it.

I am starting a new chapter in my life starting now.

My husband and I are divorcing. It was my choice. Many things played into the decision.

Through the next weeks, I will be laying out the new life for the kids and I.
