About

Hi!  My name is Elisa Armstrong.  I'm 29 years old.  We are a Catholic, homeschooling, military family.

I started this blog because I love sharing things that I love.  When I find out about something I like, I will tell everybody about it.  I also wanted a place where I could show my mom and my other family members who live far away, what we are doing as a family.  I blog to remember all the little things in life, that I will one day probably forget.  (Let's hope my blog is around for that long.)  I try to keep it positive.

I was born and raised in Switzerland.  You can see where I grew up here.

I grew up protestant & converted to Roman Catholicism when I was 18.

I married the man of my dreams one month before I turned 22.

I'm married to a soldier.  He's my best friend and the love of my life.

We cloth diaper our babies and educate our children at home.

I learned the basics of sewing, knitting, crochet in grade school in Switzerland and from my mother.  The rest I learn as I go.

I tend to "wing" things.  I think this is the best way to learn when it comes to sewing and knitting.  If I insist on having it perfect the first time, I'll never even begin.

I like baking fresh bread.  I like growing my own food (which doesn't mean I always have something to show for at harvest time).

My Swiss grandmother and grandfather were dairy farmers.  I have always wanted my own Swiss dairy cow in the backyard.  Chickens would be fun too.
