Blog

I have been a sad blogger these past months. I am constantly looking into something or other. In the past months I have looked into : Raising chickens, chicks, building a coop, Homeschooling the two younger kids, working with a zero based budget (also attending a class with my husband), countless recipes or us, the dog, other friends, I am considering making dog food for my allergic dog. I search many sewing blogs when I come up with whatever I must sew that day or a day really soon, growing a vegetable garden (we have planted seedlings and dug up the earth to prepare the soil incorporated compost from our compost bin) now I need to find some sort of fencing to keep my wonderful ladies out of my veggie patch!! Volunteering here there and everywhere, playing with the kids, attending lacrosse games and band concerts (few and far between on the concerts). I do have a job outside the home... which sucks up way too much of my time. I go to bible study weekly (love that). I still try to make dinner nightly (when I am home) I can tell you I get excited about all of these things and my wonderful husband!! I could do without the Job but... well that is just not in the cards right now especially if I want to have financial peace someday!! Some-days I think I have lost my mind!!! In a happy way of course! Thanks for listening!!

The sky is falling

In the coming days we will be receiving via US Postal service our chicks. 6 cute and cuddly, fluffy little eggs producers.  I for one am very excited!!  We have been researching, planning, ordering, considering, obtaining permits, etc...  The chicks will be in the house with us for about 6 weeks.  (we are praying for a quick melt), and then out to the back yard, in the soon to be build coop delux!  The coop building makes me nervous, we are not by nature a "handy" family and it will be quite a project.  We have the plans, materials list, but...  well my husband tells me we must wait for the big melt to occur, I am thinking this project might take a few weeks and well chicks do grow rapidly.  I am not quite sure what we are getting our selves into but I am sure it will be an adventure.
