Shortly after we moved to our property, we came up with a fun idea.... Puppies!! At this time, we just had our first puppy, Vita, who was about 8 months old. (We got her while we stilled lived "in town," so she is naturally a city-girl-turned-country-girl, like me!) Then a friend came across an abandoned… Continue reading Three Is As Easy As Two

Our Thoughts On…. Butcher Day
Did you catch my last post? If you didn't, I'll give you a moment to run and check it out..... It was truly epic! And, hands down a very first for every person in our family. I think it's safe to say this city girl is now a bona-fide country chick! Just in case you… Continue reading Our Thoughts On…. Butcher Day
A Brand New Experience
Over the weekend, our family embarked on a very new adventure! We had our very first chicken butchering day on the farm. (I think we can NOW call it a farm!!) Anyway, I recorded some of the crazy experience. You can check it out here.... As it was our first time ever doing this, we… Continue reading A Brand New Experience
19 Keets…And Counting
Anyone else watch that show about the ever-growing family years ago? I loved it, and before we get all political, let me just say.... They inspired so many great things in my family. Their insights on raising children, homeschooling and doing things differently from the rest of the world truly challenged my young 20-something's self.… Continue reading 19 Keets…And Counting
Wild Cat Whisperer
I will admit...ok, I'm second guessing this as I type... But, here goes. My husband and I watched the Netflix show Tiger King, not too long ago. We were beyond baffled and, believe me when I say, I covered my eyes several times! Do not watch this show with your family. We were truly shocked… Continue reading Wild Cat Whisperer
Another Addition
In the past 8 months I've had three more puppies than I can possibly handle, and have been anxiously awaiting the day when I could get another... KITTEN!!!! Let's just be clear on something, puppies are cute. They are trainable (this may be debatable...) And, at least one of our puppies is finally showing occasional… Continue reading Another Addition
National Pet Day
In honor of National Pet day, and because my last pet post was rather sad... Our sweet pup Vita came to us last fall at about 8 weeks old. She arrived at a time when our hearts were broken over the loss of our cat. She also entered our home as it was on the… Continue reading National Pet Day
DIY Dog House with Gated Fence
We are hours away from actually, finally starting our massive renovation project in our new home. But, before we could start this monumental task, we had to get the puppies out of our house and into their own.... My very handy hubby whipped up a plan for a large, insulated dog house inside a fenced-in… Continue reading DIY Dog House with Gated Fence
A New Animal on the Farm
The monstrous yellow lab (Sandlot, anyone?!) picked up speed, and the gut-wrenching feeling returned. I was not going to make it across the back yard, to the safety of the area beyond the electric fence. The dog licked and jumped, knocked me down and much to my horror would not let me go. Even though… Continue reading A New Animal on the Farm
