Allow me to introduce myself

My blogger name is Mama. Coincidentally, that's what they call me at home. I just turned 40 last fall, which makes me an "older" mom. I homeschool my two kids, 6 and 8, garden more or less adequately, keep four chickens and a smelly dog. We like to bird-watch as a family and just got done participating in Cornell's Great Backyard Bird Count for the 4th year. Follow this link to get the dates for next year.  http://gbbc.birdcount.org/  It is free, educational and SO much fun! More to follow. Thanks for stopping by.
