Welcome to Rough Edges and All

Hello, my name is Tanja Carman. Welcome to my blog on here I will be sharing with you all types of different stories, experiences, and just over all my crazy, wonderful life. I was born in Nebraska and I’ve lived here all my life. I am married and I have three crazy, goofy, wonderful boys who definitely keep me on my toes. I can’t wait to share my stories, recipes, and my advice on different homesteading bits and bobs.

The topics that we will mainly talk about and discuss on this blog are homesteading (Tales from the homestead), here I will share my experiences, ideas on how to start, and my knowledge with different animals. We will also talk about cooking and baking (Kitchen Classics & Experiments). I will share my favorite classic recipes and different experiments I try out in my own home to see if they work. We all love a DIY project, here in (Building Mashups) I will share all my projects I make with things that I have laying around at home and that I have scavenged. Hopefully I can give you some ideas and who doesn’t love upcycling. I have been gardening for many years here in (Tending to Garden) I will discuss different gardening tips and just sharing my experiences over the years. Finally, I will also touch topics surrounding homeschooling (Education around the Hearth). I do homeschool my children, with the support of my family. I also do have to work around my own job schedule which is an obstacle, but we manage. So, I will share my tips and tricks, my trials and errors, and my different challenges.

Thank you for joining and I do hope you stick around for all the crazy, goofy fun. Again, Welcome to Rough Edges and All.
