Category: backyarding with kids and every day house projects

What is it with kids and dinosaurs! All my older kids have at some point been in love with dinosaurs but number four so has been the one who has liked them the longest! A while back he asked me to make him a dino blanket. So when I found this fabric I had to get it for my little dino lover.

I wanted to do something different with this blanket. I wanted the backing to not match.. I felt this went along better with his personality. #dino #bigfamily #kids #finallygotitmade #pleasesharemyblog #thanks 🖤🖤

I find myself itching for spring! I want to get yard work started but the weather has decided to snow or rain these past few weeks. Normally I love the rainy weather, I love to sit and watch it rain but being a mom of five keeps me busy that’s why I love it when it rains at night. Then I can lay in bed and listen to it come down. Today as it rains I actually wish it would go away. Maybe it’s because I have a lot of projects that I want to do or maybe it’s just because I was looking through my photos and came across this one! Last summer was a good season for me on growing flowers. I’m hoping to have the same this year.

When you have kids you will find your stuff is gonna get broken! Over the years things have gotten broken somethings being able to be saved and somethings not. Today my poor hen (knick knack ) got broken, she has been broken once before. I even was able to glue her back together last time. This time I can’t find all the pieces. My one year is more interested in things that are not his more than his siblings ever were.

Today in the mail I got a nice surprise from a friend. I absolutely love them!

She got me a mug with a rooster ( cockerel) on it and a matching box too! I also made my first try at a bow today after the kids were done with school. I’ll get better with practice!

Snow snow snow! Yay snow.. but it wasn’t a lot for the part of town I’m in, it was like three inches if that🤣🤣🤣. Public school b&m ( brick and mortar) are having a snow day but for us even though we are online public school we do not get a snow day. I’m glad that my kids don’t get upset that they still have to do their school work. #nosnowdayforus #onlineschoollife

Wonderful mother nature! She loves to show what she can do. we’ve had some nice wind storms here. My canopy ended up taking a beating during the night. I was thinking I might be able to sew this🤣🤣🤣 #windwon #canisewthis #thanksmothernature

My wonderful husband surprised me with a vanity! It’s dusty from being in the box and the kids “helped” put it together with him so there are tiny finger prints all over it. Now I have room for all my lotions! I don’t have that many, do I? 😂😂 Now my husband can have the counter by the sink back!🤣🤣🤣🤣. #wonderfulhusband #vanity #loveit

Today we celabrated our 3rd son’s 4th birthday! I can’t believe he’s 4! It seems just like yesterday that I had him. I love how his siblings helped decorated the living room for him. Hanging up streamers and blowing up balloons🖤. They also helped build his lego city stuff he got which is good because I’m not good at building helicopters! 🤣🤣🤣 #oneproudmama #happymama #mybabyisgrowingup

We had some crazy weather the last few weeks. First it was warm then we had some crazy wind storm and a light dusting of snow. Last night we got some snow though lol and the girls (chickens) didn’t care for the couple of inches we got.

My wonderful husband got me a new egg basket I can’t wait to fill it up! He also found a cool t-shirt! I love when we find cool chicken stuff.
