Last night I went out with my good friends and one of them made me an egg apron! She did an amazing job and I love it! I used my apron this morning and it works so well. It keeps my hands free to check on and play with the girls (chickens). My friend is so talented with the things she makes.

I also love the way the colors go together on this apron. A while back ago I was talking about how a Neapolitan apron would be cool but instead of making the one area chocolate color doing grey because grey is my favorite color! Here is her link if you would like to check out her other items she makes so many things from egg aprons to amazing pokemon hats! https://www.facebook.com/miriyaquincrochet/ #eggapron #thankyousomuch #loveit #colorsarewonderful #myfriend #pokemon #hats #chickens #backyard #backyarding #hobby #pleasesharemyblog

It was a year ago that I got one of my favorite girl (chicken). I had ordered her from a breeder. I knew as soon as the breeder had sent me the photo of her that she was the perfect one for me.😍 she was being shipped over night, I was so excited I didn’t really sleep much that night, I was like a kid on Christmas eve. Time seemed to go so slowly. I waited the whole day next constantly looking at my phone… just like the old days when you pick it up to make sure there was a dial tone 🤣🤣🤣. I knew she had been shipped because the breeder had sent me the info now being at the end of the day I called the post office and…they told me they had no clue where my girl was!😢 I couldn’t believe they had lost a live animal! The next day I went down in the morning I wasn’t happy that my girl was lost. They had said her package last scan was when she left the post office but hasn’t been checked in at any of the stops. Well let’s just say when you start yelling in a post office about how they better find your chicken you get some pretty odd looks🤣😢. Two more days went by.. I was starting to think she was dead. Just as I was getting dinner set on the table for my family my phone rang.. it was the post office! They had my girl and they weren’t sure if she was alive. I went as fast as I could to the post office(across town😲) got my girl.. opened the box.. there she was breathing but not happy! Got my girl back home to get her the things she needed to help her and here we are a year later ….(top photo is a year ago bottom photo a few weeks ago)

When the girls (chickens) are molting there are feathers everywhere 🤣🤣. They are still cute even though they look like street chickens all roughed up🤣🤣.

Bella here is done with her molt but the look she is giving me in this photo.. you would think I walked in on her while she was in the bathroom🤣. #chickens #molting #feathers #pleasesharemyblog #thanksforreading #pleasesharemyblog #birds #walkedinwhileinthebathroom #igetwalkedinallthetimeitspartofmomlife #ibetihavethesamelookonmyface

Today was a good day! Got some errands done, cleaned the house, got three jars of strawberry jam made, and 11 jars of cantaloupe jam made. We have never had cantaloupe jam before so it will be fun to try.

I really don’t like Play-Doh .. yes it looks fun. You can make almost anything with it. When it gets smashed in the carpet it loses all fun! It’s like the water boy movie with Adam Sandler where his mother says everything is the devil.. sometimes I wonder if play -doh is the devil jk 🤣. There is something that can be even harder to clean… tooth paste! Tooth paste gets hard as a rock .. how does this happen? You know what I don’t want to know but I do want to know how tooth paste got on my wall?? 🤣🤣. My younger kids each have a tooth paste of different color ( it helps with hey that’s mine fighting ) so when I looked over and saw dark green tooth paste on my leafy green wall I knew it was my four year olds. I called him in to ask, he looked at me with those big eyes of his and held up his dinosaur and said “mommy blue needed her teeth brushed too” 🤣🤣 he’s taking an interest in brushing teeth even the ones that are not his maybe he will be a dentist? 🤣 #toothpasteisreallycement #helpmmommycleanthebathroomwall #evendinosaursneedtheirteethcleaned #pleasesharemyblog #thanksforreading

My wonderful friend told me about the company that gives free mulch for our area. I signed up for it on monday.. they gave a truck load today (wed)!! I’m excited to have all this mulch but I will be working with mulch for the next few weeks🤣🤣.

We used wheel barrows and buckets to move the mulch. “Many hands make for light work” is what I told my kids. All my kids helped out! It was nice family work time and to see who could get the most buckets moved. 🖤🖤 #familyhelping #maketheyardlooknice #lotsofmulch #yayforthetruckloadhaha #willbeworkingwithmulchforweekstocomemaybeevenyearshaha

Today one of my wonderful friend gave me some dirt, some mulch, some flowers, veggies, and she went and picked up two pallets for me. I can’t thank her enough! It was nice to hang out with her and let our kids play. This evening my husband and I started mapping out how to use the pallets. We got one idea almost done and I’m excited to get some more veggies planted! #thankyoutomyfriend #lovemyfriend #sheisanamazingperson

It rained a lot today where I live but we did catch a break in the weather for a bit. I love it when it rains means I don’t have to worry about getting out to water the lawn and the garden but on the other hand it’s not very much fun getting the girls their water or food while its raining. Bella did some posing for the camera today for me. She is doing her run way walk in these photos! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When one of the quail hatched it was born with a few deformities. It was born with scissor beak and only one eye. We had decided sense it wasn’t showing any sign of pain and it was eating and drinking we would see how things went. With taking on this little handicapped pet we picked the name Andy (still don’t know the sex of any of the quail for a few more weeks). Checking little Andy today we noticed that it’s scissor beak is looking much better. I even got good photo of little Andy!

Cleaning out the quail this evening and I noticed their water dish was leaking 😣. So the kids and I got them a new little bowl. At first they were scared of it😂. Ducking their heads and pecking at the side of the new bowl. When we continued to clean them out I Was holding this little one when I went to take a photo of it and I noticed it was giving me the stink eye!😂🤣😂🤣
