My Ramblings: Birth Matters

http://susansene.blogspot.com/2014/09/birth-matters.html

So I got rid of my pen and paper journal in favor of this.let's face it, it's easier and quicker. Sunday, September 14, 2014. At first I didn't want to post about this. I was scared what others would think. Get over it already",. But you are blessed by so much". At least you had three healthy babies". Two major things about my previous pregnancies I'll never "get over". 1 losing our first baby. After seeing the heartbeat. 2 having a csection that was totally unnecessary. Of course, a healthy baby is a bl...

My Ramblings: Pressure

http://susansene.blogspot.com/2013/12/pressure.html

So I got rid of my pen and paper journal in favor of this.let's face it, it's easier and quicker. Sunday, December 1, 2013. These three girls - man do I love them! I never would have thought the Lord would have given me a house full of girls! I'm just not the girliest person and I've never considered myself the greatest homemaker. Many times I feel like I'm failing them. Will they become nurturing to their families? Will they be educated to face our very confusing and ever-changing world? I know I will f...

My Ramblings: I'm Back on Facebook - sorta

http://susansene.blogspot.com/2014/07/im-back-on-facebook-sorta.html

So I got rid of my pen and paper journal in favor of this.let's face it, it's easier and quicker. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. I'm Back on Facebook - sorta. A little over two years ago, I deleted my Facebook account. Honestly, I didn't really miss it. At all! For me, it was actually quite freeing to do so. It was just too easy for me to get wrapped up in all the drama, negativity, and ego stroking. I'm still on Instagram so feel free to find me there! For family, baby, and especially wedding pictures! Mothe...

My Ramblings: 41 Weeks and Still Cookin

http://susansene.blogspot.com/2013/08/41-weeks-and-still-cookin.html

So I got rid of my pen and paper journal in favor of this.let's face it, it's easier and quicker. Friday, August 9, 2013. 41 Weeks and Still Cookin. I never thought I'd make it to 41 weeks with this baby. I've had a very emotional several days. I realized I was being fearful of many aspects of the labor and delivery. And I was worrying about what would happen if I * still* hadn't had the baby by . As much as I know God's grace doesn't exist for the "what ifs", I like to live there a lot. Last night I tho...

June 2015 – Ziglar Family Farm

https://ziglars.wordpress.com/2015/06

Adam, Mae Lynn, Kathryn, Graham and Madelynn. June 1, 2015. We picked up the meat 6 days later; heads, hooves, lard, bacon slabs (we are going to cure it ourselves), ground meat for sausage (we will stuff it ourselves), specific cuts of meat and bones. We have been enjoying the meat and we are so thankful for our hogs; the work they did on the land and the delicious meat they provided. The kids love Derek so much and we had a great time visiting with him. It has been awhile! Beautiful weather and 2 birth...

January 2015 – Ziglar Family Farm

https://ziglars.wordpress.com/2015/01

Adam, Mae Lynn, Kathryn, Graham and Madelynn. January 19, 2015. I have been enjoying learning more about fermented foods and how they are beneficial to our family. We started brewing Kombucha because G man was having digestive issues and had researched the benefits of probiotics in our food. From there, I began making yogurt to save money and homemade yogurt is better for you and tastes delicious! Now I am labeling the kefir so we won’t make that mistake again! The list is great but I also wanted to use ...

Staycation – Ziglar Family Farm

https://ziglars.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/staycation

Adam, Mae Lynn, Kathryn, Graham and Madelynn. April 1, 2015. Adam was able to install a drip system on the 1/2 acre where our new plots are planted and he finished a drip irrigation in the kitchen garden. We moved the pigs to a new spot; probably the last area before they go to butcher. They cleared it within a few days! Like I said in the last blog post, spring brings new life. We love walking around the property and seeing all the new buds forming. Here are a few pictures. Lynn J. Garrett, Sr. And it m...

My Ramblings: Yes, I Want a Son

http://susansene.blogspot.com/2015/04/yes-i-want-son.html

So I got rid of my pen and paper journal in favor of this.let's face it, it's easier and quicker. Monday, April 13, 2015. Yes, I Want a Son. Ok so it's been a while. Part of the reason is our laptop has been broken and I just can't type out blogs on my phone. :). Anyway, so I haven't said it here yet but I'm expecting our fourth baby in July. Septtro came up with this clever word puzzle to announce the pregnancy. My beautiful little ballerinas. I was afraid to tell anybody I did want a boy out of fear it...

Adam, Mae Lynn, Kathryn, Graham and Madelynn. April 30, 2015. April showers, May harvest. I am a little behind in posting so here are some pictures/information from the month of April. So the month started off with Adam receiving a promotion (yay! I have to say that G is the best photo-bomber ever! He has the most interesting poses and faces when he bombs a picture! I have been taking the kids on nature walks to pick blackberries. They are loving the cooler weather! Puzzles are a big part of our school&#...
