Our Story:

My name is Stacy Greenleaf. I am 36 years old and a mom of 6 children. 3 through birth and 3 through foster care adoption. I did foster care from May 2007 till Novemeber 2011 and have provided care for 8 children in that time. I have been married to my husband Terry for 16 years. We are a one income household and I am always looking for ways to save money. People refer to me as a stay at home mom, though I'm always going somewhere! Three of our children have diagnosed disabilities and are receiving several services. In home, at school and by many doctors, specialist, counselors and Phyciatrist's. My life is never dull, and though I'm always looking to improve it I would'nt change a thing! Welcome to my crazy, happy life!

Autum, my favorite time of year!

I love Fall, I always have. The clean crisp air, cold nights, turning leaves, picking apples. I love it all!

There is a lot of opportunities in the fall for great family time and money saving activities. I have found that apple picking has become ridiculously commercial and so expensive! :( but there are still some small orchards that don't charge through the nose. There are also great activities, like carving pumpkins, picking unique leaves and doing leaf rubbings, making scarecrows, making apple pies and apple sauce, so many great things to do!

Fall is a time for canning for me. I find it awesome to look at the labor of my work all summer coming together. I look at my ever growing pantry shelf filled with things I grew, and it makes me VERY happy!

Keep watch for some great Autum recipes!

Go out and enjoy all that God has given us! :)
