I’m so glad you found us! We love welcoming moms who love good food! And your DIY project list sounds so awesome, I don’t even know where to begin—but I do know that I’d love to twist your arm into guest-writing a HOMEGROWN 101 (or five) on some of those topics. Think you’d be willing to do so? That homemade viognier and/or the doggie composter and/or the wine and apple-cider vinegar would all be good places to start. Let’s chat!

And not to breathe down your neck when you’ve just joined, but I’d also love your chicken noodle soup recipe. Sounds like it would be a great fit for the HOME Cooked winter recipe file—crediting you, of course! Any chance you have a photo?

That said, I'll back off a bit and let you get your bearings! Elsewhere on HOMEGROWN, you can always find the latest additions to the site at the top of the homepage, and if you’ve ever got questions, please don't hesitate to leave a comment on my profile page or shoot me a message. I hope you feel right at home!
