  • Nesting

    Someone asked to see some photos of my nesting box area.

    This is the front view from the side door it’s the main one I use to clean them out. I always make sure they have plenty of bedding (pine) in there.

    Here are the nesting boxes. I have one small one and one large one but the large one can be made into two boxes. They all like the one big one in the corner. I just took the wood out that was making it into two boxes. #bignestingboxisalwayswantedbyeveryone #chickensaresilly #crazychickenlady

  • Rwby time

    On this beauitful evening Rwby ( bunny) got to run around. She and the kids ran all over the yard. I did didn’t get much yard work done but I did get these awesome photos of her.

  • It is done

    I love when I can get things done right away. I got the garden box stained and the carrots moved into it. I love how it came out, I even got some weeds pulled! (Before photo)

    (After)

    The weeds in this area were hard to get out, I hate when they are so short and hard to pull out but at lest it’s done for this area of the yard. My daughter was sweet and helped me out. #thanksforreading #pleasesharemyblog #woodworkingisawesome #bigthankstomydaughterforhelpingpulltheweeds

  • Not easy

    I found this cute little garden box kit at the store. I thought it would make a cute garden box for my carrots. The box said it was easy to put together it was not 😂😂! The wood was not sanded down and getting it into the slots was not as simple as it sounded. Over all I do love it and I think it will make a cute little carrot bed. Next I need to stain it I’m hoping to do that this weekend!

  • Cuddles

    My week hasn’t been easy. So there has been lots of cuddles with my kids but mostly my dog.

    She can be crazy hyper but she knows when I need her the most. She sat with me today while I worked on my place mats.

    I like how this one is coming along. I’ve been working on this one for about two weeks. I don’t get that much time to work on them right now. Once school is out for the summer I should have more time. #dinnerplacematsareamustforlittlehumansinourhouse #redandblue #momlife #cuddlesbytheonesthatmeanthemost #dogs

  • May

    Wow May is already upon us! Next week my husband and I will celebrate our anniversary! Hard to believe that we will be married 17 years! I wouldn’t change anything, I love him and our big family. Not sure if we are doing anything yet for it but I know whatever we do it will be great. #anniversary #love #lovearebigfamily #wonderfulhardworkinghusband #heknowsimnutsandstillchoosestobewithme

  • Rooster

    My fil and mil (father in law and mother in law ) were in town today. We had a nice time with them only wish it could of been longer and that we could see them more often. They brought me a gift!

    A rooster! 🤣🤣 I love him and so do the kids. My daughter helped me find a place to hang our new friend. We decided to hang him in the schoolroom / play room so that way we can look at him all day!

  • Bunk beds

    Chickens are funny! Even though my girls have more than one nesting box they always have to have the same one. It makes me laugh every time. They remind me of kids always wanted the top bunk. 🤣🤣. Good thing Bella doesn’t mind Medusa fluffy butt in her face🤣🤣

  • Looking back

    Looking back through my photos past night and I came across this beauitful one that I took last summer.

    I hope I get some good looking flowers again this year. A good friend had told me about a sale on roses so of course I couldn’t pass it up! This weekend the weather should be nice I’m hoping to get them planted. #flowerareawesome #gardening #photos #thanksforreading

  • Growing kids

    As my kids get bigger they remind me of trash compactors 🤣 always hungry never getting full, my girls (chickens)are the same way… 🤣🤣. While they were eating their lunch I went out to check on the girls. It was a nice day today. It wasn’t too warm but it wasn’t cold. I let Medusa out to help with some weed pulling.
