Three months ago, as you may recall, we hatched chicks — again. I absolutely love hatching chicks with kids, and this was my third hatch. Each year I do it, I think to myself that perhaps this year we will be able to keep them. Perhaps the timing will be right, the stars will align,…
Down an Old Dirt Road…
I do love this little space already – and cannot wait to create a lovely, quiet space just for my little ones. Here are a few pictures – and I would love any ideas you may have! Our old creaky stairs: The old claw foot tub: A door with…
Welcome to our Farmhouse!
We have arrived! Safely and soundly with barely a hiccup we have arrived at our new home. And with the arrival of our internet today, I thought I would take a much needed break from the boxes and unpacking to give you a tour — or at least a sneak peak of a few cozy…
When Moving is Hard…
We have found the most incredible country home – charming and rustic, yet bright and full of sunshine. Surrounded by open space and horses, and yet very close to civilization. It is what we have been dreaming of for years – and we move in just over a week. So why, tonight, am I so…
Going Home
It wasn’t even one month ago when we excitedly met Farmer Chris to get our 12 chicken eggs.

Healthy Simple Living Series
I have decided to start a new series. A series on simple living. A series all about healthy eating, simple eating. A series where I am focusing on myself first, so I can focus on my family better. Like a lot of Mama’s I know, I have a bad habit of forgetting to take care…
Simple Things Sunday
I thought I would play along this week with some blogging friends at Simple Things Sunday. Since I just bought a new camera I have been having so much fun learning and experimenting! The game is simple. Share a picture (or two – mmmm or three?) that you would like to slow down and remember…
Self-Help Skills for Preschoolers: Keep Calm and Get Dressed!
There are many self-help skills for preschoolers, and we are working on many at home. In fact, for all of my wee ones. The one that is the focus of most of my attention right now is teaching Sammy to get himself dressed. Getting dressed was not really an issue for Madeline. She picked it…
