My Abundant Life

Hello Readers, my name is Wendy. I am a happily married mother of two adult daughters and three grandchildren. Together with my husband we are living an abundant life through growing some of our own vegetables and fruit, cooking and baking everything we can from scratch and being mindful of what we use and buy. God has blessed us abundantly. We try to be good stewards of those blessings.
