Well as 2007 is coming to a close, so is my time as Senior Editor of HomesteadBlogger and the Homestead newsletter. Sometime today, there will be a new picture on the front page.I just checked and I first came to HomesteadBlogger about eighteen months ago on June 14, 2006.
I have learned SO much from you all. And one of the main things I've learned is just how important it is to keep things simple. This past year I took a promotion with The Old Schoolhouse and I am now their Senior Marketing Manager, as well as a contributing writer. With Tony, the boys, homeschooling, one old horse, four dogs (a stray beagle has stuck around and is now lovingly known as Foofer), ten cats, twenty-something chickens, and over forty acres, the time has come for me to cut back on some responsibilities.
It's sort of bittersweet because I have so cherished my time with all of you - sharing, learning, and dreaming homestead dreams. Yet I'm also thankful for how this is going to free up a little more of my time and attention. I knew when I didn't "have time" to leave comments, join in the Homestead Carnival, host contests, or choose Featured Bloggers, that I just didn't have time to do HomesteadBlogger justice. And you know, I still have a lot of Lessons to Learn on the Farm!
I've found someone though who is going to do a FABULOUS job. She was one of the very first bloggers I ever met over at HomeschoolBlogger. I think she set up one of the first blogs at HomesteadBlogger too (although she deleted it and started over with a new one a month ago) She's wonderful with templates. She loves, loves, loves blogging, reading blogs, and commenting.
(drumroll please....)
Kris Price!
Kris Price is happily married and homeschooling two wonderful kids. She has many interests - Proverbs 31, blogging, frugal and simple living, healthy living, papercrafts, knitting and crochet. She enjoys leading the church youth group and helping with the local 4-H Honor Club. Kris still has many things she wants to learn - gardening, soap and candle-making, to name a few - and dreams of retiring in a "cozy cottage" in the woods someday!I'm reminded of a quote we had on the porch a long time ago - The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it , but what he becomes by it. ~John Ruskin
Thank you for investing in this Unlikely Homesteader's life and for what you've helped me to become. I'll see you around the blogosphere... May your 2008 be a wonderful one!
Happy Homesteading,
~Nancy Carter
