Lorae Bowden is the oldest of eleven children and the mother of seven. She learned frugality and homemaking skills from her parents. She continues to use those skills and is teaching her own daughters. She believes that living simply and learning life and homemaking skills can help the environment, our economy, and the well-being of our children.
