Howdy all, this is Maggie, giving my farewell address. Melodramatic eh? I don't mean for it to be. HBHW has been a labor of love for about 8 years and my time as it's owner has come to an end. I will still be an online presence, at my homeschooling site Old Fashioned Education, at my Blog (which I hope to pick up again soon) and also at a new site I hope to have up and running in the next few weeks, or at least by January 1st, hopefully before then. I'm not exactly sure what the new name will be but will share it on my blog, my mom's blog and at OFED as soon as I know.

The new owner of Hillbilly Housewife is named Susanne. Her email is susanne@hillbillyhousewife.com . She is already the owner of one site called Kinderinfo. She's a lovely woman, solid Christian with a heart for serving other mothers. She and I have prayed individually and together about this process and we both feel firmly that we are doing the will of God.

I know many readers will be disappointed but I hope you will treat Susanne with the affection and loyalty you have always shown to me. You have probably noticed that I've been much less active here and on my blog this year than ever before. Part of this is due to the extra demands of homeschooling highschoolers. Part of it is because I have lost a bit of the inspirational spark that I felt for HBHW in the early years. Susanne assures me she will have new content to share, which I know all of you will look forward to, especially after I've made you all endure such long absences. In addition she will keep all the current content so your favorite articles and recipes aren't going anywhere.

Susanne has my full confidence in her ability to take over HBHW and lead it to the next place the Lord needs it to go. I hope you'll take the time to get to know her better and to offer her congratulations on her new duties.

Hugs & Blessings

:-) Maggie
