Sometimes I’m so completely not ready for spiritual discussions with my kids because they pop out of the most random life moments. One more reason to be “in the moment” with my littles! Today as Qade was grumbling his way through half of his Math page one of those times happened. He was supposed to …

Downton Abbey Season 4 Premier
So we are Downton Abbey fans! It took us awhile to jump on board that train. We do not have t.v, cable or satelite. I can’t tell you how thankful I am that we made that decision for our family way back before we had kids! So what we’ve done in the past to get …
A view from the farm
My gift to me from our trip to CAL Feed! Fun fun store!! I could get lost in it for awhile! Mean time now my sensitive fingers will have some good ol leather protection while I work with our animals! 🙂

A hunting we will go
Yesterday when I went to the chicken coop, basket in hand to get the egg “haul” of the day, I discovered only one egg! Boo-hoo! What I believe happened was this. The wily goats have discovered the chicken feed in the coop. And they like it! Mucho! Which is fine, it’s organic, no problem well …
2014 Resolved
Despite being “practically perfect in every way” 😉 I have thought of some resolutions for 2014. Sort of… I have vague fragments that haven’t completely solidified as thoughts yet, but writing this post will help with that. I was never very good at communicating notions rather than thoughts. Anyway. My biggest resolution for 2014, and …
