My garden was doing great until it was over 100 degrees and there was no way I was hauling my prego bum out to weed, lol. The lettuce did well early, along with radishes and spinach. Let them bolt when it got hot. Snap peas got taken out by some sort of critter Planted a ton of mixed green...

I hate how people keep pushing the 'a little won't hurt' BS when it comes to my children, my children eat very good, fresh, real food and don't react well to most processed food, large amounts of refined sugars, and artificial sweeteners, more than once i have had to tell my mother in law, go...

We have a 6' stockade fence on the side of the garden that faces the road and 60" welded wire fence along the other 3 sides with an additional run of 48" plastic netting around the back to create an area for the chickens and a deer buffer, they might jump one fence but don't have enough space to...

Apple cider vinegar... where do I start? I was thinking of picking up Bragg Raw ACV because i would like to do raw vinegar (thank you Sally Fallon) and I am currently all out of ACV. I would like to make my own ACV with apple scraps this fall, is it possible to use the 'mother' that comes in...

took the kids picking at the pick-your-own farm, got alot of veggies & herbs, spent under $10 and enertained the kids for 2 hours.

The pick-your-own by me is 0.50/lb for over 20 lbs, 0.69/lb if under 20lbs, the little farm market baskets are $3 (4 med tomatoes)

I offered eggs to the local food bank and they couldn't take them because they couldn't guarantee food safety. The volunteer at the donations desk did get me in touch with a local family to give to directly because she was very disappointed that she had to turn away 12 dozen pastured eggs...

This is Christopher, he likes to dress up in his chef hat to help crack eggs. Occasionally we cook eggs for snack time just because he put on his hat and asked really nice, "Mommy, Christopher cook'a the eggs, pweeeeese!" And of course he prefers the green ones :)

So cute. You have to love the little chefs, what they lack in culinary skill they make up for with giggles :D

I have a pair of doc martens boots i found second hand for $10, been wearing them for 10 years now. bought a pair of timberland's retail... looked and felt like hell after a year. Second on the sketchers, they hold up well. Just had to add insoles to my work shoes after 3 years of waitressing...

I love old navy clothes for my boys, I always snag them at goodwill when I see them, they wear well, and wash well. Last fall I snagged a Old Navy winter coat with a removable fleece liner for $2 at a yard sale, a little too big for last winter, but will be perfect this year. I also swear by...

:gig speaking of Freemotion... the bean paste is AWESOME. my hubby won't try it but he is happy I am enjoying my beans without bean side effects, lol.

I've recruited my garage sale hopping mom to snag some clothes for my boys, they are going for less than $1 per outfit, as long as they fit, they will wear them, fashion doesn't matter to toddlers, just need a somewhat clean outfit to change into when they come inside from playing in the dirt.

I have been hitting thrift shops for maternity clothes with no luck, the material they use for maternity clothes is so cheap it rarely survives 1 pregnancy. I have been living in pajama pants and sun dresses because I refuse to spend $60 on a cheap pair of elastic pants that I will only wear...

I have 2 regular customers who are very particular about their eggs, they always ask me what I feed them because they eggs are so much better than the farm market eggs or other farms, I honestly say everything we don't eat the chickens eat. I do not put meat in the chicken bucket (i cook that...

DH has this need to snag my handwritten recipe notebook for bathroom reading (after being banned from taking my laptop) then he leaves it open to the page that interests him most on the counter as a hint (he is so obvious) He has put together recently that the recipes with 'Freemotion's...

DH "What exactly is growing in those jars on the counter" Me "lactobacilli" DH "and your going to eat it?" Me "i'll scoop the mold off the top then, yes, WE will eat it." DH "If I die, I'll haunt that Freemotion person for giving you this idea"

Cucumbers are picking away on the counter. I only have 4 tbs of whey left. Time to go pick up some more yogurt :D
