Meet the Hoosier Momma

Welcome to Hoosier Homemade! I am Liz, the Hoosier Momma. I am wife to Doug for 20+ years and Mom to Andrew-19, Nick-16 and Casey-12. During your visit you will find information on how to make your house a home. Here are just a few of my passions that I will share with you: Cooking, Baking, Decorating, Frugal Living, Organizing, Sewing, Crafting and life in Northwest Indiana. I was born, raised and still live in LaPorte. Our town is surrounded by beautiful lakes and we are only about 15 minutes from Lake Michigan. I am a Christian and our family attends Agape Christian Church.

My husband Doug works on a 160 acre farm in Rolling Prairie, Indiana, where he is the Landscape Manager. He maintains 5 acres of flower beds, the lawn, the garden, and hundreds of trees.

My son Andrew is a Senior and he would like to study some type of art after High School. And he also works part time at our local movie theatre.

My son Nick is a Sophomore, most of his time is taken up with practice and games, he plays football, basketball and baseball for LaPorte High School. He is the catcher on the Baseball Team.

And Casey, is a 6th. grader, he enjoys baseball, basketball and also theatre and performing. He is in the Show Choir at school too.

And of course, I can’t forget our animals, Rocky, our Black Lab and Kali our cat.

The boys keep me very, very busy, but in my spare time, I enjoy crafting and browsing magazines for ideas. I am an avid collector of antique kitchen utensils, cookie cutters and tea pots. I also help Andrew collect Pez.

I hope you enjoy Hoosier Homemade, as it has been an absolute pleasure for me to work on.
