So, this is my first Blog.....

Thanks for visiting Helpful Hen Blog!!!

I wanted to have a fun and entertaining addition to the Helpful Hen website. Being able to interact with a site really helps in keeping our community and followers in touch and making sure everyone can voice their opinion. A little about "Helpful Hen": Helpful Hen will be up and running for a full year in June 2010! It is exciting to know we have been adding little tid-bits of info to our readers for nearly 12 months. I am starting to add new photos and examples on a regular basis and in doing so have been able to spend some quality time with my 2 wonderful children as they help me mold this website into a kid frenzy!

Our family started this site to keep mother nature in mind and to show other families that even on a small budget you can have hours of fun and be super creative with what you already have! I have always been frugal (or cheap in some of my friends eyes....you know who you are :y) and have had my eye on making a website for about 6 years ... well, pretty much since I had my daughter. I ran a small daycare from my home for 2 years in a small town in Southern Oregon and then our family moved to Portland Oregon in 2006. The difference in culture was amazing, we instantly fell in love with PDX (as do many other visitors). I am a property manager by trade and "Helpful Hen" by hobby.

My family and I love to spend time outdoors exploring and experimenting. My husband is creative, handy and has helped our home become more sustainable. Our daughter is a 5 year old mini Chipko - She is very expressive when it comes to the environment which is great! Our son is 2 and loves to garden, dig and maintain the chickens. We are city dwellers with the country in heart.

Welcome to our site, welcome to our life!
