Hello world!

Welcome to The Stalled Life! My name is Amy Pitarro and I am a wife, mother, and General Manager of a very fast paced Dominos Pizza here in East Tennessee. I have always loved horses!! I even went to a University that had an equestrian program, thinking one day that I would use my education. 30 some years later and I am still stuck in the blue collar world. But I am determined that the year 2024 is going to be a life changer for me and my family.

Intro to my Life

Blogging is going to be an adventure and a challenge for me. I am a reader. Sitting down and spending hours in a good book is so relaxing for me! Writing tends to be a little more tedious. Although I must confess, many of my highest graded essays in school were almost always written the night before they were due. I guess I think best when under pressure. My life has definitely been a pressure cooker lately!

Dylan, my oldest child graduated last spring and moved out on his own this past fall. Emalee, my second child is 15 and driving me crazy sometimes with her drama filled life. Allyson, my youngest daughter is a portrait of my self at her age. She is with me every time we tackle the farm chores every day. Dominic, my husband is the reason I can give my kids a good life and is helping me teach them the tools they need for living on their own. Together we make a blended family with highs and lows every day on this journey we call life.

Goals

My goal for blogging is to share our trials and successes on this 26 acre farm that we call home. Life in the real world has been getting crazier and we have decided to learn how to live and survive off the land that we have. We are going to turn our farm into self sustaining as much as we can. No, we are not preppers!! We just have decided to live off the land that God has blessed us with so that we can be healthier, happier, and able to bless others with our abundance.

Let the adventure begin…
