Doing it Yourself!

Hi folks! Welcome to our brand new blog coming straight to you from Make Your Own! My name is Jessica and I run a small retail store in Lockport, NY specializing in the fine art of doing it yourself! We are appropriately called Make Your Own while our website is Make Your Own at Home

It's no secret that the American economy isn't at its peak. Financial outlooks from many professionals are bleak at best. There really isn't a better time to start the ancient art of learning to make your own at home. The word 'own' encompasses many things, but here we will be discussing mainly food, drink and some household items that you can easily make from home. 

We as Americans have lost our way in keeping up with family traditions and passing on our knowledge and recipes to the younger generation. I was lucky enough to grow up in a home where my mother stayed home and lovingly prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for us everyday. She was thrifty and frugal and passed many of her tips and secrets onto me. 

Personally, this economy and the gas prices have scared the living daylights out of me. I've recently focused on getting back to my roots and dragging out my old cookbooks and household books to save money and pass as much onto my son as I can. Most recently, I've embarked on the cheese making process. Surprisingly it's quite easy and can be fun! 

In closing I'd like to welcome you to our blog. Feel free to follow us or subscribe to our posts! We will be posting hopefully once every two weeks at the least. Each time we'll discuss a new kit or item that we've recently tried out. Questions? Comments? Feel free to leave them here and we'll answer the best that we can! In the meantime check out our website Make Your Own at Home

Thanks for reading!
