The start of my carrots is doing very well. I do need to thin them out still. where I live Mother nature has been going through menopause … she has been having hot flashes and then her cold snaps are her yelling. I would like to get my first set of my carrots and the rest of my garden outside so Mother nature if you could just stick with the hot flashes that would be great.

If you’re lucky you won’t have a picky eater. I however I have two that are. My 15 year old is picky on how it looks and smells. He has gotten better with age. Now he will at least try it, my daughter though is picky in a different way. If it doesn’t look how she thinks it should she doesn’t want to eat it. Example… we had hash browns at a restaurant the other day. They had the hash browns in this cute little square shape. So for dinner to night I made hash brown, eggs, and waffles ( we like to do breakfast for dinner sometimes) my daughter got upset and didn’t want to eat her hash browns.. can you guess why? Because they weren’t in a square shape! So being the good mom I am .. I said okay I took her fork cut it into a square and then told she still had to eat the parts that I cut off too. Not wasting food due to square non sense. #pickyeater #sillychildren #momlife #squaresarethenewcoolforthisweek

This weekend my husband helped me redo our pond. I love it, I forgot to take a before photo but let me tell you it was not much to look at. I can’t wait for the flowers to bloom. There are lilies, tulips, wild flowers, and Wisteria in the big black pot. Around the pond area we will plant grass.

I love the little flower light my husband got for the middle of the pond. The light changes color. It also has fog that comes out of the middle of it.

Yard work never ends… just like laundry! Today I was hoping to get some more rocks moved and I did get some moved. I however didn’t get to the big one that I’ve been wanting to tackle. I was however excited that my kale has sprouted.

Today my husband and I got up a new feeder for the girls ( chickens) Its made out of pvc piping. 3 inch around and 4 ft in Height. I have two in the coop one on each side. They both hold two and half gallons of chicken pellets. I’m so glad I put these in. There are two openings at the end of each feeder for the girls to eat out of.

Out and about today we decided to stop off at a feed store. Found these awesome pink egg cartons. They also had blue but I just feel in love with the pink. Maybe next time I’ll get the blue ones.

Happy spring break! What’s everyone doing on their break? For my family we are doing a few projects and cleaning out closets. The kids and I did some yard work today! I was proud of my 15 year old for starting to get some of the work done with out having to even ask him. The people that lived her before us cemented in bricks. With some hard work and lots of digging we got them out! Now we can plant some grass in that area! #lovemyteen #springbreak #pleasesharemyblog #thanksforreading

The day for the kids and I has been a long one. I really don’t like it when they have a lot of essay to write for multiple subjects. I try to teach them that there is always going to be things in their life that they don’t like but they still need to do it as best as they can. For my lunch break I got a hair bow made. I’m looking forward to selling these.

Today I’ve been working on the garden boxes.

I went and got some of the wooden crates from the store. I did want to make my own but I saw this idea and wanted to give it a try. I’m staining them red mahogany.

I love how it turned out!! I have two more to do then I can add the dirt and some seeds. #garden #lovetheseboxes #pleasesharemyblog #thanksforreading

Today I started some seeds. I ordered these just for fun. They are rose seeds. Next week I will be starting my other seeds tomatoes, mint, watermelon, carrots and a few other things. A good friend of mine gave me the watermelon seeds from her garden I’m excited to start those! #garden #pleasesharemyblog #seeds
