Rebecca Tero
Third-born of twelve children to the two most wonderful parents in the world, I love to write, and I love research.
I have had the opportunity to learn much in being a part of a large family, as a student of herbalism and nutrition, as well as learning through experience in caring for our chickens, rabbits, dog, cats, goats, and being the primary caretaker for our quarter acre garden. It is my joy to be able to share what I've learned both through experience and research with others.
My prayer is that God will be glorified in what I write and that others will be able to learn from what I have to share.
