About me...

So, who am I, your host here on this blog?
Well I am lots of things to lots of people, wife, ex-wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, friend, neighbor, caretaker, artist, writer, singer, musician, born again Christian, music director & board member & secretary at church, writer of many diverse blogs, animal lover, omnivore, certified night owl, deep thinker, fairly healthy, very happy, modern day pioneer living 100% off grid, organic gardener, tinkerer, crocheter, book reader (analog, digital, print and audio), computer whiz, website building, former hairdresser,  in other words, just plain ol' me.

That was quite a mouth full huh? Well, you wanted to know, right? I'll not tease you about clicking the "about me" tab, I do it all the time when I'm curious about the blogger I'm reading about, in fact I'm disappointed when there is little to no personal information about the person of whom I'm reading.

Another thing you might not know about me unless you read my other blogs or know me personally, I live in a castle, we call it the sky castle because we live on a mountain side, in the high desert of far western Texas. My hubby built it from the ground up, it started out as a small cabin and little by little he worked the outside to make it look like a castle, it's very small, cozy is the word they use for SMALL in reference to living space. :) Oh, and we built it very much on the cheap, much of the material that went into the sky castle is recycled/repurposed, whatever you wish to call it, the material is getting a second life as part of our home. We aren't vegan green tree huggers, not that there is anything wrong with that, but we recognize and take advantage of the fact that second hand material, things that would have gone to a landfill, or languished until it rotted away to nothing is a financial boon to us and the previous owner, they don't have to take it far to get rid of it and we get it for free.

Many years ago I started doing reviews, mainly on Amazon.com, I setup an affiliate account in hopes of earning a little money based on the things I purchased and enjoyed.  My aim wasn't to "sell" but to show my followers what I actually use,  mainly in my off grid life,  but in the rest of my life as well.

DISCLOSURE:
I do receive some (but not all) products at a discount or free in exchange for my honest opinion / review, all reviews will be clearly labeled which is which. That in no way influences my opinions,  I rely on the reviews of other people to help me choose what products to purchase,  so I will always shoot straight with you.
