Bloom Where You're Planted...

Welcome to the romantic life...with kids...with animals...with muck to shovel...with fun!

Homespun

Handicrafts and creativity galore...

Imagination fidgety? Hands itchy? Craft bag a little dusty? I have plenty of undone projects to finish...I'm sure you need another one, too!



Homestead






If it looks like Farm, smells like Farm, it must be FARM..

I've still got much to learn, but I've stuck in my b
ig toe and I'm up to my waders now. Come see what we've tackled so far!



Homeschool




Take a peek! It's fun and unfettered...

We are  a hodge-podge homeschool, very relaxed, enjoying the ride!


 Home Life

Where the heart is...

Find all sorts of domestic treats from the garden, from the kitchen, throughout the home! Swedish is my fave! Just move over, Martha!


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!

What's New...

Hot off the press...

A new knitting pattern for the very cute, very adorable roll-brimmed hat that everyone loves--especially the little tikes who sport them so well! And they're OH! So easy! I'd love to see your models! Here are a few of mine! CLICK


debgal Studio

I love the artist- artisan- photographer thang! I have way too many creative juices spilling over and running willy-nilly all over the place! I also come up with stuff at the quirkiest moments and just have to stop everything, grab the camera or the sketch pad or a hammer and go nuts. So this is where I've corraled all the scatterbrained notions and tried to direct them into something useful or at least intelligable. Feel free to jump in at any time--enter at your own risk!  CLICK on the lady bug!


Products

If your swept up in a surge of instant-gratification and don't wanna mess with DIY, then you'd best pounce on those flowers NOW!


What's Now...

Seed Starting 101

Last year was my very first spring to start seeds. I put them in egg cartons in the kitchen window.  The morning glories were wonderful (although they took FOREVER to take off). Here are some tips in starting the little seedlets.  CLICK

Daily Bread

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 up there fillin' God in on just what's goin' on down here!
