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.

Finally Friday! A three day weekend also.. yay! After a long week I’m looking forward to this three day weekend. Tomorrow I’m hosting a moms night out. It will be nice to see some of the good friends I have made. I also plan on getting some more yard work done. Not looking forward to moving more of those large rocks but it’s got to get done.

Where I live we got a light dusting of snow! I decided to let one of my girls ( chickens) out to see what they would like it or not. Bella at first walked on the parts where there wasn’t any snow. 🤣 She quickly got over the light dusting of snow and went for some grass!

#snowchick #grass #chickencuteness. Remember to share my blog post! 🖤🖤

Today the girls (chickens) played out of their run again. Got a cute photo of their fluffy butts. I think their fluffy butts make a heart kinda.🖤 🤣🤣🤣🤣🖤 #valentinesday #loveblackhearts #chickens

It was a beautiful evening! While I got some more rocks moved I let the girls(chickens) out for a little free time from their run.

I hope you enjoy the small video of them.

The big game! The day where fans get together to show off their wonderful spreads of food, watch football, and to bet. I do like football but sadly I haven’t watched it that much this year. We will be watching the The big game at home. For my family I will be making little Smokies, nachos, and cookies. What are you making for The big game? I would love to have some recipes put in the comments! #thebiggame #lovefood #besafeeveryone #cooking ( even if you don’t watch football I would love for you to share your recipes also)

When the weather is nice no one wants to be indoors! I have to admit I don’t want be in doors on a day like today either. Our high is 62, there is no wind, and there is a nice Blue sky! It’s odd weather for us this time of year. Normally at this time of year it’s cold, very windy, and sometimes snow down in the valley. So when the weather is at its finest for the start of February we had to take advantage of it! We went out on our school lunch break, the kids played, the girls (chickens) ran around in their run, and I found most of the parts for the green house. However the plastic looks like Freddy Krueger got a hold of it😂😂. #greenhouse #niceweatherforthisweek

Today I started my girls on Apple cider vinegar and garlic in their water. It’s one tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar per gallon. Apple cider vinegar could have health benefits for chickens just like it does for humans it supports the immune system. It has a lot of vitamins. It can help with digestion and making it less friendly for little bad critters to enter your chickens. One clove of garlic in their water. It is said that the garlic will help keep mites away…( my girls do not have mites I give them the garlic because just like for people it is healthy. ) because they don’t like the taste of garlic in the blood. This was told to me by a farmer. I’ve done my own research to me it makes sense to try it out. Others say that the garlic is just a myth. Just like anything you are going to have people with their own way of doing something.. some say this works others say it doesn’t. Do your own research and find out what works best for you!
