WELCOME TO LIFE IN THE OZARKS

Failte go a Ozarks!  Life in the Ozarks is the informational page for the websites associated with Celtic Ozark Solutions.  We have a real passion for website content, and love to write on many subjects. Needless to say, then, we have ended up with a lot of websites.  But that seems only fair, as life in the Ozarks is very rich and full, and it certainly is worthy of more then just one page on a large website of our interests.  We hope that you will remember this site, and use it as a spring board to other interesting information.

The CelticOzarkian.com  is our very first website.  It started out as a chronicle about life in the Ozarks, told from the perspective of the Irish who live here.  Many people have asked how we came up with that name. Well, it is a term I coined some time ago for my wife, who is Irish and grew up in Branson , Missouri, in the heart of the Ozarks. She is the true Celtic Ozarkian, the Irish Hillbilly! Yet, my own family tree, on my mother's side, is also full of the tails of the Scottish and Ulster Irish, though my last name is French in origin.   To me, that is what it means to be an American, though. We are all mutts of some sort. The website now features a Celtic theme, and will share lots of good information about all things Irish and Scottish in the Ozarks.

LifeintheOzarks.org has now taken over the role of telling about the happenings of the Ozarks. It is here he share our news, events, lifestyle information, and political views about life in southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas.  It is in a blog format, so you can go directly to the front page and keep up with the stories we write.  There are category favorites also, and RSS feeds, if you would prefer to follow us that way.

AHigherFaith.com is our website on religion, philosophy, and spirituality. I am a retired minister, and I still write and teach on the subjects mentioned here under faith.  It also features my books, like 30 Days of Joy.  I will also be sharing links to other books, videos, etc. that I find inspriatonal. I hope you will also.

CelticOzarkSolutions.com is the website where we feature information about our business. Our company specializes in website content, SEO, article and blog writing, and social media marketing.  I also blog about topics of interest for people who want to run their own website, and want to do website marketing. Stop by and get yourself a copy of my 18 Step Social Media Marketing Guide. It will help you jump start your website for marketing in the 21st Century.

Workingnana.com is my wife's website, where she talks about things of interest to women who want to be WAHM's, or work at home mom's.  She has been able to successfully reduce her JOB to part time. So, stop by and chat with her.  She also has a wonderful "sharp Irish tongue," which can be fun in the articles she writes.

CelticOzarkGarden.blogspot.com is my gardening blog.  It is something I really enjoy. We practice raised bed, organic gardening. We also use heirloom seeds.  So, this is the blog where I write on tips to help people learn how to garden.  There are a lot of good gardening sites out there. The reason I decided to blog on the subject was I because many of those articles did not give me the information I need to get started quickly. So, I have tried to make this my brand for my gardening in the Ozarks articles. I want people to be able to take the information and put it to use that day.

FoodSupplyGardening.com is our newest site, where we are talking about gardening for your family's food supply. It touches on subjects of survival gardening, but is really more. Food supply gardening talks about growing a year's worth of food to help save money, reduce costs, and make your family more self sufficient. It very much builds on the gardening tips I have supplied through the years at The Celtic Ozark Garden.

Well, now you know the story of Life in the Ozarks. If you have managed to stay with us this far, we thank you for visiting our website.  Please book mark this website, and tell your friends about it.  It will always be here as a way to keep up with our passions.

Slainte,
