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

My second sons guinea pig passed away Thursday. He was over 3 years of age. Even though he was the worst Guinea pig we ever had my son still loved him. As his siblings came around him to comfort him, I was yet happy and sad. Happy his siblings were there for him but sad I couldn’t take the sadness away from his heart. I do have to say that even though my son is sad about the loss of his pet I will not miss the little jerk .. he would bite me everytime I would clean out his cage or give him food/ water. He was a mean little guy! Even though he was a mean little a-hole I still hope he ended up in heavan and I hope that hes living it up because well if animals do go to hell .. I hope some kid is not biting his elbows like he did to mine! Rest in peace Lou the Guinea pig you will be missed by my son and only God knows why he loved you so much even though you were evil to him. #guineapigwassentfromevil #ifeelformyson #hopeyouhadagoodthreeyearswithusyoulittlebitter

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a safe black Friday if you went shopping! I stayed home with the kids we relaxed and did some cleaning. Sadly our dishwasher is broken 😢. My girls ( chickens) always know how to make me smile. Before starting the dishes from breakfast I went out to give the girls their breakfast.

Bella is giving that look of hurry up lady! Poor Bella still going through her molt too! #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyou #chickens #chook #feedingtime #breakfast #hurryupandfeedmebecauseeventhoughimachickenieatlikeapig

The kids and I are on vacation for a week! Yay, no school. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while. Today we got done with school at a good time so I went out and spent some time with the girls. My one girl wakita was in the nesting box. Out of all the girls she is the one who will peck you if you try to take the eggs she is sitting on.

Wow November already! One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving. We rarely celebrate the holiday on the actual date of the holiday, due to my husband work schedule. I actually like celebrating it on another day it teaches my kids that the date doesn’t matter. What matters is that the ones you love and care about are all there with you! 🖤🖤

Cleaning out the girls (chickens) feeders today and Bella decided she wanted to help clean up😂😂.

As you can see she eyeing the pile of feed I dumped out lol it won’t be there long! She is also going through a molt. I hope this molt doesn’t take long. #moltingcansuck #imgladidontdothat #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #chook #molt #feed #getthatfeed
