A lot of people have been sending me messages asking how do you open the quail eggs! I made a video on how to do just that. My daughter was my camera girl. Please forgive my tongue tied moment I had while making the video😂 and my appearance. #hobby #backyarding #quail #eggs #food #cuttingeggsopen #fun #hopeyouenjoyedthevideo #video #human #thatswhyinormallydontdovideos #tonguetie

Tonight I decided to try a craft I had seen on Facebook. Put the paint layered into a cup and then pour it on to the canvas. I didn’t have gloves so if you don’t want to get paint on your hands then I would recommend getting the gloves. 😂😂. It is fun to do .. kids would probably have fun doing this, and I’m sure it would be even more of a mess with them. It’s one of those crafts you do just before bath time 😂.

I’m happy with how it turned out, but it does take a lot of paint. If you’re not into wasting, then this might not be the craft for you. #hobby #backyarding #painting #crafts #somethingtodoonasnowynight #canbemessy

The girls( chickens) are starting to pick up their laying! I was very surprised to see three eggs in the nesting box this afternoon! It’s a nice change from the zero to one egg I have been getting 🤣🤣🤣

I was out getting food and water for everyone today. My little quail male decided to crow and let me get it on video!

Happy New Year from myself and girls ( chickens) Medusa has come a long way sense she was this little chick!

She is all done molting! Doesn’t she look beautiful?!?! The other girls how ever are still molting! I know some people collect the feathers, then wash them and make things out of them. Maybe one day I will do this but for now I have my other crafts to keep myself busy! #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #pleaseshare #thanksforreading #pleasefollow #chickens #chook #fluffybutts #chickensarefun #happynewyear #mayyournewyearbesafeandfun #imnotdoinganythingbecauseihavekidsandchickens #lovemychickens #crafts #momlifecanbefun #bigfamily

My wonderful husband got me a cool looking salt lamp for Christmas!

It can also be used as a massager! The salt rounds come off, haven’t tried it yet. I love how it looks reminds me of a fountain 🖤😁. #lamps #hobby #backyarding #christmas #gifts #husband #pleaseshare #thanksforreading #pleasefollow

Our Christmas started off great.. kids enjoyed themselves! Dinner came out great, then we relaxed a little. Just as I was sending the kids up to bed…. the power goes out! We have 4 day old quail chicks. Thanks to the fast thinking of my family we got them out of the brooder and… I sat on my bathroom floor with all of them in my hoodie! Yes you read that right lol.

The power was only out for an hour and half and all the chicks made it! It could of been worse though. Most might think of crazy for putting them in my hoodie and that’s okay.. !

Today was a long day. I hurt my back that has made getting things done a lot harder, also yesterday was my daughter’s birthday! I can’t believe she is eight years old. To see the passing of time in a child’s age makes you cherish the good & bad moments. Okay maybe not all the bad moments like the time she took my nail polish and wrote the number four all over my walls ( I do have to say that her “fours” looked really good).. or the time she threw away my forks but with every bad thing every eye roll they have done there are double of the good moments like when she finally was able to write her name or when she took her first steps! Happy birthday my number three! #birthday #eightalreadyintensyearshewillbeonherown #tenmoreyearsofeyerolls #hobby #backyarding #lovemybigfamily #gottomakethecakeonsaturday #themeistigers

I started out wanting to make placemats but I was not paying attention to which way the fabric was and I messed up! ( first photo the is the front, the second photo is where I messed up)

I could of made the others to look the same but I decided to take this and make the ferrets a new hammock!

They had a hole in their old one and now it looks nice and clean even though that won’t last long because I know they are going to scratch this one up too! #hobby #backyarding #ferrets #pleasefollow #ghost #cashew #sewing #newhammockforthecrazyferrets
