I had both of my babies at hospitals. I had my son at the hospital in our county. I wasn't happy at all. I had my daughter at a different hospital. The experience was better but I still wasn't completely happy. I had long labors with both of my kids. With my son I was in labor 36 hours. Both...

I know summer is over and fall is here, but here we have a Farmer's market. It is a great place to sell veggies and crafts. I make little girl dresses and hair bows. I make good money at the Farmer's Market. I know others do too. Some sell jams and bake goods. This time of year the craft shows...

Laundry-already started by have several loads
Put all the clean clothes away (I seem to do the laundry just find but I hate putting it away):D
Feed the animals ( I do this two time a day) So one time is already done & milk the cow which I do in the...
THanks everyone for the kind words. I know we will be just fine. It is just getting started that will be the hard part. The house only have one strand of fence that goes in a straight line. So I will have to put of the rest of the fence which isn't too bad. I was raised on a farm so I have done...
Well I have been with my husband since I was a senior in high school. We have been married for three years but have been together for 8 1/2. We have had our ups and downs a lot of it due to his family. He had to buy our first house three years ago that is across the street from them which was...
I didn't make any money today but I am making apple butter that will make money at the farmer's market next weekend. Lastnight, I traded a friend 7 young turkeys for 8 bushel apples. I have been busy today making apple sauce. So far, I have canned 14 quarts for sauce for yourselves, plus make...
I would love to go off grid, but my husband already thinks I am crazy. I would love to just live off what we grow and raise. I want a more simple life. I am sick of how everything is a rush. We are lucky because we have an outdoor stove to heat the house which saves a lot of money. But I hate...
I am sorry to hear about your ducks. I raise Cayugas. I have never had a problem with them. I have only lost three ducks in three years. Right now, I have over 20 of them running around. I hope you found out what it was. I always hate lossing any of my babies.
I love this thread. I am a stay at home mother. My husband paids for the insurance for him and the two kids. It is over $400 a month. He only goes to the doctor once a year if that. My son who is four has only been to the doctor once in two years. My daughter who is 16 months has been twice this...
I love mulberries. I make a muliberry pie that is good. I also make jam with them. I love the jam. I freeze a lot of them so I can have them for the holidays for pies.
I ship hatching eggs every week. There are several different ways of shipping them. First if you go to USPS.com you can get free priority boxes from them. They even bring them to your house. I also order their free priority stickers to use instead of tape on the bubble wrap on each egg.
I first...
I have both goats and cows. I would say if I had to choose one, I would go with the goats. I like drinking the goat milk better, but I love the cream on my jersey's milk. My goats take a lot less space than my cows. They also eat a lot less. Then it is muddy the cows udder are always a mess even...
I would love to know how to dehydrate the grains. My kefir is starting to grow really fast. I have heard about putting it in the freezer. I don't know which but be best.
My house is always train wreck. I have a 4 year old and 10 month old plus I babysit a 10 month three days a week. Every time I clean one mess they make another one. I have really been trying to decide if I just should pack it all up and take it to Goodwill. If they don't have anything to get...
I have ducks everywhere. My cayugas have gone crazy. They have hatched over 50 ducklings. I have sold most of them, but still have over 16 for sale. I have never killed anything before. I have butchered a deer before or should I say helped. I have been trying to sell all of these ducks. They are...
