  • Getting ready

    Today I gave the girls (chickens) some strawberries. Of course they love them but I’m also getting ready for when we get into the upper temperatures. Taking some strawberries, peas, mint, and cut up grapes. Put food in the ice cube tray fill with water and freeze. Then I will have a tasty cold snack for them. (Mint – has a natural cooling properties that helps cool off the body) #backyarding #mygirls #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyou #chickens #chook #food #hobby #makingicepopsforthegirls #takeicecubetrayputinthefoodfillwithwaterfreeze #mint #grapes #icecubetrays #ice #cube #rainneedstogoaway

  • Won

    This evening I won a free seat at my local painting place. The painting that the artist did for hers had ” wanderlust ” painted on it. I decided for my painting that I would change it and put Delicious Cluckers Farm on mine. I forgot how much I loved painting!

  • Coming to an end

    We are on our last week of school for us. As I can’t wait for summer vacation I do get a little teary-eyed. Packing up their books to be sent back realizing that when we start up again in August four out of the five kids will be in school. My oldest will be going into 11th grade 😱😱 and number 4 will be starting kindergarten. While this year is coming to an end ( and I cry over my babies growing up ) and my children embark on a new journey for their new grades they will be entering I know that they will do their best because that’s all I ever ask for. #hobby #backyarding #kids #kidsgrowingup #4outof5inschool #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyou #school #summer #summervacation #goingbacktoschoolinaugsummerneedstobelonger #largefamily #giveityourbest.

  • Girls talking

    Went to check on the girls (chickens) this morning. I think I walked in on a private conversation πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ the look they are giving me made me shut the door and go in through another oneπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

  • Flu

    This weekend the kids and I have had the flu. When you have kids and they have the flu it’s a lot like a frat party. No one wants to do anything and everyone is puking. When you become a mom you have an idea about how you want to do things there is an image of what you think it will be like. No one ever thinks about their kid puking on their taco that they are having for lunch or getting woken up in the middle of the night and having their kid puke in their face. One day you and children’s child will all be sitting around a table and all the sleepless night, all fits, all the toys that get left out, and all the puking will be worth it when you are sitting around that table telling your grandchildren about the time their dad threw up in a taco. #flu #momlife #dadlife #parentslife #hobby #backyarding #pukeinataco #taco #largefamily #children #kids #lotsofcleaning # fratpartys #sickkids

  • Good people

    Yesterday evening our neighbor was having a tree removed from their yard. The company doing it didn’t have a good hold on a limb they were cutting it fell into my yard knocking over my flower pots into my pond. When I was outside cleaning up the mess of mud now in my pond I noticed my pond spitter was now smashed! I called our neighbor and asked her who I needed to speak with about getting reimbursed. They said they check and get back to me. Well this evening my neighbor showed up with a new spitter for my pond. I was amazed that they replaced it out of their own pocket! I was going to talk to the company. It goes to show you that there are good people out there who do the right thing. It’s hard to find that these days. My opinion is to keep looking and even though it might be hard to find there are people out there with kind hearts. #hobby #backyarding #people #nice #goodhearts #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyou #pond #frog #trees #spitters

  • Hide and seek

    This evening the kids wanted to play hide and seek. They always make me be the seeker lol. This time I decided I wasn’t going to yell ” ready or not here I come ” after I was done counting. Instead I told them they would know I was coming to find them because I was going to play Terminator 2 Judgment Day theme song on my phone. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ So it was a win win for everyone the kids got to have me play hide and seek with them and I got to listen to one of my favorite theme songs. #hobby #backyarding #kids #games #largefamily #themesong #moviesthemesong #Terminatortwo #judgmentday #hideandseek #whydoialwayshavetobetheseeker #memories #favoritemovie
