Hi Everybody! Not only am I new to MJF but to chat rooms in general. I received a copy of the magazine from a friend in Kentucky and was blown away! First of all, it took me three days to read it - so much good information I didn't want to miss a thing! In the meantime I jumped on the website and have been reading all the wonderful entries, even tried the baking soda/essential oil air freshner in my laundry room (works great!). I already feel like I have a new group of friends from all over the country!
I live on 2.5 acres in northern Indiana. We've been here three and a half years and we've been managing the property organically and have learned so much with so much left to learn. The article about lawns in the No Place Like Home issue of MJF has given us some good food for thought about naturalizing part of our yard.
I want to pass the magazine on to my mom to read as I know she would love it but I'm not sure I'm ready to part with it yet, even for a short time. I keep picking it up and re-reading different sections.
I can't wait to jump on and take part in these great discussions. |

Hi Tiffany!!! So glad you joined us. There is a lot of wonderful information here and the people are awesome and always willing to help. I still haven't had a chance to look at a MJF magazine. They don't sell them anywhere near me and I've been too lazy I guess to order online. I'll have to do that. Anyways welcome!!! |

Welcome fellow Hoosier! I was born and raised in southern Indiana. I live in northern KY now but we are moving back to the rolling hills of southern Indiana when we start our family! Welcome to this fabulous message board! The women here are brilliant and insightful!

Welcome Tiffany..we are all glad you are here...sounds like you feel like us about the magazine...it is terrific!! Now you will have to read the book. I couldn't even think of loaning it out yet and I have had it for months now! It is so much to digest and do and think about...I look forward to more posts from you!!

Welcome Tiffany! I always wanted a hoosier cupboard, I got one, but it turned out to be my husband. He's pretty useful though. This is a great place to be! See you around the forum. Simply, Julia

Hi from yet another Northern hoosier! You will love this place!! I always leave here so inspired to do better and be better. I wonder if there are enough of us to start a chapter around here? However I suposed Indiana is pretty wide so just because we are Northern IN may not mean we are near each other! Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!! Daisy |
