homesteadinghousewife : MyBlogHer Profile

Dana Clover is a writer, a lover of pink electronics, an avid Twitterer, and an imperfect mother of 5. On her blog, The Homesteading Housewife, she writes as if you're a girlfriend sitting across the table, both of you enjoying a tall glass of sweet tea and good conversation. Dana uses her blog to share her humorous stories, recipes, tricks and tips about everything from domestic topics such as gardening, canning and quilting to the mishaps/lessons of parenthood to keeping that spark alive in your marriage. Dana lives outside of Houston, Texas with the Man Of Her Dreams and their children (4 boys and a girl) on their small family farm. Many were introduced to Dana and her family on their episode of Wife Swap on ABC, where she traded lives with a rich, pampered mom from San Francisco. While on the show, Dana taught her new family how to put less emphasis on clothes, money, and other material things and return to a "simpler" and more frugal way of life. Her latest project is the creation of 3 - Leaf Marketing, a social media management company where Dana uses her years of business & social media marketing experience to help businesses connect to their customer base and create relationships with potential clients by helping the company find and broadcast a more personal and approachable voice in the often static-filled world wide web.
