Hi I am new. I live in Geneva Idaho on a dairy farm. I grew up in towns but have 'come home' to the farm. We farm and raise registerd Holsteins. My husband and I proove breeding bulls. We have 6 children, hence my title of meanmonstermommy. It is a family joke and we have a bit of fun with it. I am a seamstress by trade and love handwork when there is time (like waiting at the feedlot etc)We have a short growing season and my home is at 6,100 feet. We have had sno this week(Oct 4) I have started my own business see genevasprings.com and 3 of my children have attended U of I. Have a good one Lucy tueller |

Hi Lucy,
Welcome!! Where is Geneva? I live up in the Panhandle. I've seen your product before on the website. In fact printed off form, so when I get paid I can order some. Yippee. I try to make my own lotions, etc, but so far they come out way too goopy and harden. One of these days..... It's great to have you here.

Welcome from Louisiana, Lucy! I'm from a family of six and we thought our mom was a meanie too. She would always say, "You just wait till you have kids of your own and you'll understand this is love." We'd roll our eyes and think,"yeah, right!" Well, guess what? Four children later I'll be dern if she didn't know what she was talkin' about!! Now, I know she's an angel!..and I just bet you are too!
Do you smock or french hand sew?
The snow sounds wonderful to me since we just said good-bye to 100+ weather last week! I'd like to put in an order for some snow ice cream, pleezzz!
hugs,
Kim

Lucy - I used to care for my own little girl plus three other children, all babies of my friends who worked full time. All my friends nicknamed me MeannieJeannie. I always wondered about it, since I took care of their little ones all day. And tried to do my best!!!!

Hi Lucy. Welcome! I see that your products are right here in Moscow. This weekend, I'm going to make a trip into Hodgins Drug to pick up one of your Dairy Maid skin creams. Love the label!

Welcome Lucy from sea level, on the Oregon coast. Glad to have you here. We lived in the Cascades in WA for 4 years, we miss the snow. So when you get your first good snow, would you make a snow angel for me?

Welcome Lucy!! I will probably have lots of cow questions for you!! I am bringing home my first milk cow..a jersey..in two weeks.
I love your "title". We used to call my mom The Queen of Mean.
I wondered if some of you gals just a little higher up than us (we are at 5,500 ft..in central Utah) would get snow..there was snow on the mountains that day here and we had rain all day long on the 4th. Where in Idaho is Geneva? I have lived in McCall and Victor (Teton county) years ago and loved Idaho. I am sure glad you found us!!

Hey Lucy:
Welcome to the forum. I checked out your website . . . it sound like a really nice business. Dairy-ing is very hard work, how long have you been doing it?
