Welcome to My Farm Life
Hello everyone! I’m Patricia, a middle-aged mother of two, a navy reservist, a substitute teacher, and a hobby farmer. From my quaint 126-year-old farmhouse in rural NW Missouri, I’m excited to share some DIY tips and money-saving tricks that can help you add charm and improve the functionality of your own home.
Money-Saving Projects on a Budget
Living in a historic farmhouse comes with its challenges, but it also provides a unique opportunity to infuse charm into our daily lives while saving money. One of my favorite projects is repurposing old furniture. A coat of paint can work wonders, transforming a neglected piece into a fabulous addition to any room. Plus, learning to repair rather than replace can significantly cut costs.
Gardening Tips for Beginners
If you’re looking to create a lovely garden space, start small! A few potted plants or a raised bed can be an excellent way to produce fresh vegetables right outside your door. By using organic materials and DIY composting techniques, you can enhance your soil’s quality, which not only helps your plants thrive but saves money on store-bought fertilizers. Join me in this fulfilling journey of gardening and nurturing nature’s beauty firsthand, and bring more sustainable practices into your home.
Join me on this journey as we explore ways to bring life and character back to our old farmhouse. Let’s create a beautiful, functional space together while saving some money along the way!
