Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Many of us take time to celebrate the beginning of summer on Memorial Day weekend. It’s also a time to look back and honor the memory of all those who have passed while serving in the United States Military. I just want to say thank you to all those who protect our lives each and […]

{almost wordless} weekly snapshots #ww

Isn’t rescue chick getting big! He/she/it is almost bigger than Mama Tweet already! And, is it just me or does the little red chick on the right remind you of a roadrunner? This photo cracks me up every time. You probably have to know Ginger to know why she’s pouting. She’s thinking, just shoot me […]

Alright, who’s the slacker?

Our girls have been laying big beautiful fresh eggs this spring. This morning when I went out there were eight large brown and rosey hued eggs in the four nest boxes.  And, there was one teeny tiny speckled one.  I’m not sure who laid this little darling but isn’t it cute! I just had to […]

Wordless Wednesday – my Mother’s Day in #Instagram

My Mother’s Day was a fun and relaxing one! The family let me sleep in and I awoke to my daughter and hubby making me homemade pancakes {not from a mix!} with blackberries and bacon – yum! Then I got presents — WooHoo! Chocolate, flowers, movies, Kindle case and screen covers along with some pretty […]

A Rooster named Gimli (and a couple of chicks) #ww

I do believe that my rooster, Gimli, thinks that he was born to be in front of the camera. Everywhere I go outside, he follows me — peeking around corners, photo-bombing post pictures and generally ALWAYS getting in the shot! Then, I can’t help but take more photos of him. His black and white barring […]

Vote in KFC’s #SoGoodSoSweet Sweepstakes to win prizes like a FlipCam & House Cleaning services!

You might recall that I shared one of my family’s So Good So Sweet moments with you a couple of weeks ago. I still smile to myself every time I think about our family’s trip to Deer Park on that hot day — and about how we made it fun and ended up smiling, laughing […]

Wordless Wednesday – Chicken chasing and my hubby #ww

My silly hubby thinks he can get away with these types of things. The chickens keep running down the road and over to the neighbor’s yard so hubby has been using the lawn mower to wrangle them back into the yard. Um… really? He actually said these words to me when he noticed me standing […]

Wordless Wednesday – Totally random Friday photos #ww

Gorgeous turtle that crawled out of the ditch looking for water. We re-homed him in the creek down the road. Hubby got out the 1974 Goldwing. We took it for a short test drive up the road. Ahhh! Such a silly girl! The kids were messing around with optical illusion photos. I have more to […]

I stole a chicken – kind of

Meet our newest member of the flock, April. I stole her. Without going into detail, let me just say — some people should not be allowed to own animals. This poor chickie has a new home with us now and she is such a sweetheart! One lone chicken can get a bit chilly and peep a […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – And the fun never ends #ww

I see lots of moms mention how much their little ones love boxes. The box usually gets played with more than the toy that came in it. I just thought I’d tell you that THE BOX never gets old. My kids love the box. They’re weird.

My family’s #sogoodsosweet Moments!

It’s Springtime and that means we’ll soon be able to get out and about to all of the places our state has to offer. Some of my favorite family moments are the ones we create by  hopping into the car for a road trip to a zoo, park or other attraction. My Dad always surprised […]
