Laurie can be found most days creating in the kitchen. She has been blessed to be Toby's wife for 22 wonderful years and the Mama of 4 (aged 10-20) amazing children God has entrusted her to raise for Him. She heartily welcomes you to visit her at her blog Successful Homemakers! This family of six makes their home on a small grass-finished beef farm, surrounded by many pets. Being together is the best part of life, making it all work and flow is a task that Laurie gladly welcomes, for she knows that the time is all too fleeting for homeschooling, and preparing her babes for life on their own.
