The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 29, 2024

When my daddy passed last January, I inherited all the heavy farm labor responsibilities- I never knew I could have impressive muscles😊 It feels like I’ve been going to a homesteading college this year, it’s a love/hate relationship. Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm.
