Hi, I'm Heather, and I live on 5.5 acres in rural eastern Iowa. I have a 2 1/2 year old son and a 5 month old son. I am a stay at home mom and I raise Shih Tzus and Shelties for a little extra income. We have lived here 4 years (my and my hubby's first home in the country) and I become more and more of a farmgirl every day.
Currently I have 7 Shih Tzus + plus a litter of 4 born 5 days ago, 2 Shelties, 2 mixed breed farmdogs, many cats and kittens, 3 mini horses, 11 pygmy and nigerian dwarf goats (including a 5 day old kid), and tons of chickens. I have Rhode Island Reds, Cochins, bantam Cochins, Buff Brahmas, Delawares, and a silver spangled hamburg. My husband keeps telling me I have enough animals, but you know how that goes. He was nice enough to take care of everybody while I was on bed rest and after I had my baby. I think he secretly liked it.
I also like to do a lot of crafts, when I can find the time. I love gardening, but my gardening is kind of a disaster area this year, due to having 2 small children. I also enjoy sewing, knitting, needlepoint, jewelry making, painting, reading, scrapbooking, and cooking. There really isn't much that I'm not interested in.
Well, I can't wait to get to know you all!

Hi Heather! I was born & raised here in Missouri, but I did live in Iowa for over a year, in Eldridge & DeWitt. I absolutely loved it, but I had no family so I moved back home. Let me know what you think of Iowa, I think the people are wonderful. I couldn't believe what a wonderful place it could be.
Hang in there,

Welcome Heather - my grandparents owned and the family still has a farm near Joice, Iowa. What beautiful country, and it will be fun to hear more about your life on the farm.

Hello and welcome Heather, it seems you are having a very interresting life and lots of people to take care of. You will enjoy this place, it is fun and they are always some projects going on. I like to quilt myself and have only 2 cats at home.
Looking forward to get to know you too.
