Love bartering!! I would love to have a few hands on lessons in goat care (hoof trimming, milking, etc..). I have never been around a goat and am planning on getting 2 dairy goats this summer. I will also be in the market for milking/grooming supplies. I can offer my average sewing skills...

I grew potatoes in stacked tires last year and it worked great! I did have a few issues with mice making nests in the tires and eating a few spuds but will put a piece of hardware cloth down first to discourage them from digging up from the bottom. A piece on top will help too. I like the...

Picked up my chicks today!! The local feed store had them and it saved shipping fees or the outrageous gas bill it would have cost to drive to the hatchery!! :clap I got 6 Americana, 3 Buff Orpington and 1 Barred Rock!!

Yeah!! The Dave Ramsey plan is fantastic...now get out there and kill something!!

Temperatures here in central SnO-Hio hit low 50's today!!! Our road is still a slushy mess and will be for a while. Dirt/gravel road + tons of melting snow= Nasty!! DH, kids and I spent the day cleaning the house, organizing closets, setting up a sewing area for me and generally...

:welcome You've come to the right place for SS knowledge!! If you haven't already read them, I suggest any of the Storey's guides to raising animals as a nice, easy intro. Backyard Homestead is a good one too!

Lyrics to the Ducky Song were posted....someday I'll have DH record it for the world to hear!! Job interview went really well. :ya Both the HR director and Housekeeping manager said they thought I'd be a good fit. They also said it was great that I have food service experience and asked...

At least you have dinner covered....possum!!

I filled up today and it was $3.29 for the cheap stuff...unfortunately I was driving hubby's car which he says HAS to have premium so I paid $3.51 a gallon. I was a little sick when I saw the total :hit

I get ticked off hearing the nightly new reporters talk about how $5/gallon gas is inevitable by summer...way to slowly condition people so they roll over and accept it. Curious what everyone is using to store their gas reserves. I've seen plenty of those large, above ground gas tanks on...

I would love to start stocking up on a grand scale. Right now I have a 5 tier shelf in my laundry room stuffed tot he gills with caned goods, rice and beans. We just don't have anywhere to store larger quantities right now. I read about using an old walk-in freezer as a food storage locker...

Living by faith can be a scary venture at times. God promised to get you across the sea, He never promised it would be an uneventful ride. People tend to lose faith when the going gets rough and their prayers aren't answered. They forget that what they think they want and think they need...

My hubby is so gaseous and our girls thought it was soooo funny that he actually wrote a song about it. It's called the Ducky Song because he would always blame his tooting on a duck under his chair. Every night before bed the girls would demand he sing it!! It's now a family classic!!

Wonderful story. Nice reminder that we need to look out for one another in this crazy world.

Today has been a rather good day!! After months of applications and resumes.... I finally have a job interview :celebrate It's nothing fancy but it is more regular hours than I have with my job right now and I'm hoping it will pay a little more. The job is a housekeeper at an assisted...

I quit my full time job back when baby #2 arrived. We figured it out and would have spent more in childcare, gas and formula (pumping milk wasn't an option with my job back then) than I made in a week. 10 years later, DH lost his job I need to go back to work and can't. I was in healthcare...

Changed the design a little...looks better I think. I am hoping to get a sample of the laundry soap packaged up with a cute label on it to take to the community market. I have found 2 graphics that have inspired my logo....just trying to find someone with the software to put it all together...

We've had it all today. Started as rain, switched to freezing rain then on to snow. DH just ran up to the store for smokes (nasty habit) and said it was a snow/freezing rain mix. :tongue Taking a guess that schools will be closed here tomorrow. There are so many gravel roads (mine...
