Thanks for stopping by Revisions of Grandeur. I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Stacy. I live on a hobby farm in Michigan with my husband, three sons, and two designer dogs who weren’t supposed to shed.
I’m a schoolteacher turned homeschooling, homesteading mama. When I’m not moonlighting as a wrestling referee (Living Room Floor Federation), I enjoy writing non-fiction (primarily to-do lists and grocery lists), learning to play the piano, or hanging out with my ducks, chickens and bees.
I am a contributor at the online magazine, Her View from Home. If you haven’t checked this wonderful community yet, I encourage you to click on over.

REVISIONS OF GRANDEUR 
I found your blog while visiting Runaway Nuns and Leprechauns. After reading your ‘about’ page, I felt an immediate connection. As a former referee in my own Living Room Floor Federation, I managed to both survive and thrive while raising my three sons to the best of my ability so they could eventually leave the LRFF and go out on their own. While I have earned everyone of my grey hairs, I colour them with pride knowing that I raised three strong, independent, humanistic sons (please don’t tell them I said that). Looking forward to following your blog and your wrestlers in training!

Love this…from one Michigan mom to another. (I’m down in Battle Creek, where the air sometimes smells like Fruit Loops. I’d live in the UP in a heartbeat, though, if my attorney husband didn’t always toss around excuses like “client base” and “mortgage payment.” Whatever.) I’m brand-new to Her View From Home, but I love your home view as presented on this about page. I’m a mom of 2 girls (current post-in-progress title: “Things It Is Safe to Say to Your Teenage Daughter”…it’s a very short post) but am still laughing over “wrestling referee (Living Room Floor Federation).” So glad to meet you!

So excited to meet you, Elizabeth! Battle Creek where the air smells like Fruit Loops — ha! Love it. You should definitely work on your husband about moving to the UP, where the air smells like pasties and pierogis 😉 I look forward to checking out your work and connecting again soon. I’m glad to have another Michigan mom over at HVFH! Cheers, Stacy
