So… the goats are coming home on Sunday. I’m trying not to totally freak out between now and then because stuff just isn’t ready. Hopefully it’ll be ready enough, and even if it’s not, we’ll improvise. We can do that! 🙂 In the mean time I’m attempting to gain a foothold on the million and …

Justa buncha cuteness!
That’s pretty much all I can do for you today. Leave you with some sweeties to brighten this middle of the week! On the play mat. These girls are REALLY practicing rolling over. Hi mom! Trying to get them used to sleeping in a “sack” rather than have to be swaddled. Gabby in particular is …
The Little Red Barn Begins
😀 My very own, personal, handy-dandy carpenter has begun construction on the Little Red Barn! I’m so excited!!! Pay no mind to the unorganized garage! It’s been a hectic 5 months or so! If you look carefully, you’ll find Ella hiding out in the background! Qade spends his time around the saw like this…. He …
Whole Chicken
So the other weekend while shopping I came across whole young chicken for $.88/lb, which was by far the cheapest meat in the store. Of course that was before I read all about the salmonella chicken epidemic that the FDA seems to be ignoring. Buuuuuuuut anyway, I went ahead and snagged 2 chickens even though …
Just a Happy Hike
The other day the 5 of us went for a little hike around the house looking for something that didn’t end up being lost. 🙂 So that was good, and either way it was fun to get outside together and move around a bit. There are some pretty good views of the sunset up where …
The Little Invisible Barn
Isn’t it beautiful!?! 🙂 Ha ha! We have t-minus 2.5 weeks to have it up and ready for our little goaties! Nooooooooooooo problem! 😉 Stu has the plans AND the experience with building this same style structure since he got the greenhouse done. I spent about an hour this afternoon on the hill with a …
Adventures in Homemade Products
Homemade Deodorant has been on my list of things to make for a LOOOOOOONG time! It may have actually been one of my first beauty products to pin as a matter of fact. However, we had a Costco sized supply of deodorant to go through first, and then there were twins, and chickens, and, and, …
Chili!
Otherwise known as cleaning up the leftovers. 🙂 I never make chili the same way twice. It’s one of those really yummy things that you can just toss just about anything into and it still tastes good! Sometimes I use leftover meat sauce from spaghetti, sometimes ground beef from tacos, sometimes whatever meat is floating …
Life, Death and Moving On
It’s been a stressful week here at the homestead. 🙂 (I need to come up with a cute name for our “homestead.” Feel free to leave suggestions!) Last Sunday we came home after dark having spent the day with friends. Got to take advantage of doing that before we have milk animals to tend to! …
Birthday Princess
On her birthday morning I let Ella open this “princess dress” from her “Punkin’” (my mom) to wear during her princess party! It’s really a nightgown, but she loves it as a dress, and wears it as often as I let her now. 🙂 She was so excited about all the special princess stuff that …
