Sound Trouble Again! I do want to apologize for the sound once again. Part of it is on my end, idk what happened but maybe my headphones weren’t plugged in so Kara’s voice is on my track too, I tried to edit out this echo/double voice over as much as possible and then there are still sounds in the backgrounds throughout our conversations. So sorry listeners :(( https://www.facebook.com/groups/organiclivingformoms/ () I’m excited to introduce this guest because we met on Facebook and she has a great group I think you are going to be interested in calledhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/organiclivingformoms/ ( Organic Living For Moms) Kara Grant Tell us a little about yourself. So I own a https://www.facebook.com/ABQBNB/ (bed and breakfast), Ive been doing that for about 12 years, I was born and raised here in New Mexico. My parents were actually farmers and ranchers here. I grew up with a love for the earth and gardening.   https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10216853076429919&set=g.653840924986614&type=1&theater&ifg=1 ()https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10216853076429919&set=g.653840924986614&type=1&theater&ifg=1 (Homeschooling lesson on Apples for Organic Moms from the Facebook Group)   homeschooled my kids original education is in elementary education. 2 boys and 2 girls married college graduates I’m 12 years into my B&B business I’m actually more freed up https://www.facebook.com/groups/organiclivingformoms/ (Organic Living For Moms) My son, he’s a digital marketer So many women and people who would like the knowledge you have, this would be a great way to share it. You found me in that group. So many questions I’m so curious about that B&B, what’s that like.  It was kind of an accident, we had been restoring properties historic neighborhood We were living in it and we ended up buying the one next door home with our for kids I was like I’m up fixing breakfast anyways We started with that house doing the work restoration landscaping everything It has challenges because it is a business your on 24 hours a day. I actually got a phone call yesterday at 5 in the morning! People are in different time zones. You get up and do breakfast, my kids have grown up and raised in it My personal experience cooking and growing organically. We raised our own chickens so we cook their eggs and they are served to the guests tomatoes are coming like crazy.  fresh tomatoes Canned up some jellies and the guests some times buy that. It’s a fun way to use some of the joys doing and passionate about in my business as well It has its challenges, it’s a full time 24 hour a day Fun business and a chance to meet a lot of intersteing people. I feel like your kids got to meet some amazing people that way They did! One of my fun stories is my son played the flute and they had a flutist convention. One of the big performers was actually staying with us and he worked with my son and he taught him some special techniques. It’s been really and interesting and fun! But the kids sometimes say, where’s our private life? Sometimes you get tired of people too. again I do have a property 15 more of my chickens It’s quiet place I literally just dive in and lose myself everyday away quiet time I grew up on a farm and a ranch so I enjoy people but I also love my solitude. My parents only stayed at B&B when were kids, I don’t think we ever stayed in a hotel. Tell me about your first gardening experience? That was probably my first growing up as a kid to the side of the house my parents always had an amazing big garden time when it wasn’t not fun playground as well 3 other siblings found some unique way got us in trouble that was probably some of my favorite things in the evenings as the sun was setting going...
