Hi everyone. My name is Becca Farley. First and foremost I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I am a wife. I am a mom. I am a homemaker. My husband and I enjoy our marriage with it's ups and downs. We have two very different boys who fill our home with personality. We hope to expand our family and we are wanting a girl but adding another boy to this testosterone filled home would be amazing.
I am a dreamer. Since I was girl I have set my sights on different dreams and my dreams change as I change. I have wanted to be a novelist, a famous reporter, a photographer for the National Geographic, a Michelin Star chef, a teacher, a Peace Corps volunteer, and a seamstress.
With dreams like these it may seem odd to some that I am a homemaker. I know there was once a stigma associated with homemaking. One of the fears that I had when I considered becoming a homemaker was that my dreams would be put on the back burner but now I see homemaking as an adventure set before me where each of my dreams have poetic license to grow and fill my needs. I am the reporter giving updates about my family to others, my boys are wild and photographing them is just as wild, I get to create and perfect meals in my kitchen everyday, I certainly teach, I have the freedom to bring peace to others, and I think it is no secret that I sew.
I became serious about sewing while I was pregnant with my second son. I thought building a small business where I could sell my crafts would give me direction by working with customers and support resources. But I think it has the potential to be so much more. I have vision for Becca's Back to Basics where I can celebrate all the parts of me that create this special home and network with other homemakers that pour their hearts and dreams into making their home special as well. At its core, Becca's Back to Basics is the business of making a home for my family.
