Loooove ❤


I love them! They're so sweet. Messy, and stinky, but extremely sweet. ❤

Under construction...


The new coop, under construction. Can't wait to design the interior. Just a word of caution : never try to do things "the easy way". We thought getting a diy kit from the big box hardware store would save us some time. 😒

A week later, we're almost done. Would have been faster and easier to build from scratch.

Things just got real.

Soooo here's the guys, building the new brooder for chicks. We're going to have fifty chicks in a matter of days, so we needed a quality, permanent home for them before they're old enough to join the ranks of the free range flock. I'm not sure how it'll fit in anywhere in my house, but I'm sure I'll find a way.


Spring, and new babies!

Our thirteen eggs in the incubator 22 days ago have become twelve tiny chickens. One little egg is still waiting to hatch. I love spring!

Laundry Detergent day (recipe included)

I made laundry detergent today. We were running low from the last time I made it, which was like FIVE MONTHS AGO. It lasts a long freaking time, and seriously costs me about fifty cents a batch. So yeah, it's pretty boss. I don't use chemicals or other unnatural substances in our home if I can help it, so my laundry shelf consists of vinegar, peppermint essential oil spray for scent, and this awesome laundry detergent, which I learned how to make over at Wellness Mama, because, well, she's awesome. So if you want to take a stab at it, it's super easy. I make the liquid, because I prefer liquid detergent, but there's a recipe for powder as well. Here's the post - http://wellnessmama.com/462/homemade-laundry-detergent/
