I have changed my comment settings so anyone can leave comments - I would love to hear from you (unless you are a spammer - if so, please go away).
Do you mill? Do you want to mill? Do have any questions? Please post them. Then I won't think I am just talking to myself out here and will keep blogging. Thanks!

Why am I blogging?
I'm going to back up now and answer a question I've been pondering for a while now. Why am I blogging?
It started with the flour milling - I really love everything about it and would like to share information with others who might like to try it. I won't try to re-invent the wheel so if there is already good info online, I'll happily just link you to resources when I can. I started milling my own flour in August 2010 and in looking for information on milling I found that there are definitely home millers out there but very few people have even heard of this. My hope is that I can build a community so we can share and build our knowledge.
Now that I am milling and baking more I have been making a shift away from overly processed foods. Our family has always tried to stay away from unhealthy foods but I feel like I had done all I could until I really began to question everything we ate and if there was a better way if I made it myself. This idea will be a common theme in my posts.
I also hope to leave a legacy for my children so they will have a solid foundation as far as what real food really is and how to make good choices now and throughout their lives.

Who is Flour Girl? I am a Christian wife and mom who loves to make my house a home. I don't like housework and my home will never be "Oprah-ready" for that drop-in visit because I will always find something more interesting than cleaning - I do love organizing and even if my house is a mess, I can organize a drawer and all the other messes seem less important. Current passions are milling my own flour, anything Little House on the Prairie, and going to Living History Farms. I am very frugal and have refined garage saling to an art. I also love to find ways to replace overly processed food with more natural ones that are closer to the original packaging God created for us.
Does Flour Girl live on the Prairie? No, I don't but often feel like I do since it is very windy in Iowa and we live where there are very few trees. The prairie reference is for my love of Little House on the Prairie. Our lawn also looks like a prairie right now too.
