I’m sure some of you are wondering why I’m posting a picture of dirt today. Well, that’s not just any dirt, no way. That is dirt that J and I worked on mixing most of yesterday (Saturday). That dirt is a mixture of the bottom of our compost (which we sifted), and the dirt in […]

Jill’s Experiment
Another frugal posting. My friend Jill came across this experiment while looking for good deals and coupons online: The $39 Experiment. Basically, this guy spent $39 in stamps and mailed all his favorite companies asking for samples and coupons. Well Jill decided to save the $39 and just email people. So a group of us […]
It’s Been Awhile!
Sorry for the lapse in posting. We’ve been so busy with the kids and life that I just haven’t had a moment to sit down and really post. So the subject for today is: Decluttering! We’ve been going through things, cleaning out all those boxes that we trek from one move to the other, thinking […]
Blessings…
Sometimes things come to us in the craziest of ways, and sometimes in the knick of time. Jason was able to get this beauty for us from a remodel. It was going to be donated, so they gave it to us. We’ve been living with a little tiny fridge that wasn’t much taller than me […]
I Was Tagged!
My darling friend Michelle has tagged me! So here are 5 things about me that you didn’t know. 1. What I was doing 10 years ago? Let’s see…10 years ago I was living in the forests of Humboldt County, California as a single mom. I worked in a record store – a real record store […]

We explained our dilemma and she immediately got on the phone with other local Showgirl people and […]
2 Roosters?! What?!
Well, our ignorance in identifying male and female Showgirl chickens really showed up this past couple weeks. We kept hearing a chicken trying to crow but couldn’t figure out which one it was. We thought maybe a hen had learned to crow! But in the last couple of weeks, one of our Showgirls (the original […]
Oh The Thrill Of The Harvest
We are starting to get some really yummy things out of our gardens. Here is a couple pics of this morning’s haul! YUM! We are averaging 8 eggs a day – the neighbor’s love us! Haha! There are still plenty of potatoes growing, now with more room after this morning’s take. Plenty of green beans, […]
Summertime Is Almost Upon Us
The Texas heat is starting to set in, the plants are growing like crazy, and our water bill is rising. But life is feeling alright. We are learning, growing, changing and loving our world more and more. With everything this last month, I’d gotten out of my normal habits of eating as healthy as we […]
More Goings On At The Farm
A few days ago you got some blooms…today you get more farm pics. Things are growing like crazy now that the weather is warm. We are starting to enjoy some of the bounty on our dinner plates too! Oh, and I made the Minestrone Soup that I posted a few weeks back…one word, YUM!!! I […]
