Welcome to the romantic life...with kids...with animals...with muck to shovel...with fun!
What you'll find in The Romantic Mom.com

Rediscover the romance and simplicity of the past with a flair for handlin' pitchforks and avoiding the dust-bunnies. If you're innovative, if you're creative, if you're a home-body with a sense of adventure (and a hankerin' for endless chores), then you've come to the right spot!

If you keep sensing some strange mixture of pioneer and poetry seeping from your bones but are wrapped up in some suburban facade, then shake it all out and come with me for a long romp here in the magnificent Maine countryside (before they spread the manure)!

I'm The Romantic Mom

a.k.a. Deb, a transplanted Texas gal in Maine. I admit I've been kickin' up my heels and a little bit loopy since abandoning the suburban sprawl for the bucolic country life. I welcome you to some large dollops of the romantic life. Peruse to your heart's content!

Yesiree, by all means, I am a Christian. I would never have meandered off into this upside-down, don't -know- which- end-is-up kinda lifestyle, if I hadn't by some totally illogical, completely unexplained freak of nature invited Jesus into my heart. You'd best grab a cup of coffee for more of the nitty-gritty on this topic! Go ahead and click on me over there fillin' God in on just what's goin' on down here!
