Boys & Co.: November 2014
http://lebraaten.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2014. I've felt so anxious, crowded and claustrophobic these past few days, I'm losing my peace.and my mind! Aside from the literal wall of things from the kids room that are occupying my space while we paint, I've felt so trapped by myself and things that hold NO meaning what-so-ever. So Im sitting here tonight eating bananas and peanut butter and drinking maternal tea, feeling like I need to "let go and let God". I have, however, enjoyed this week with my favorite boys. This blue ...

Boys & Co.: January 2014
http://lebraaten.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 14, 2014. It's been far over a week, so here's another quick update on this little family. Nothing news worthy, but little things that form childhood memories and make this mama both exasperated and grateful! Saturday, Bentley and I went to the library. Just that big boy and I. We made a city from the wooden block, then read "if you give a pig a pancake" at least 5 times. Then he checked that same book out and we have read it at least 15 times here! He is also rocking the undies! Funny l...

Egg Sandwiches made over a Campfire – A Homespun Country Life
https://ahomespuncountrylifepartii.wordpress.com/2016/08/02/egg-sandwiches-made-over-a-campfire
A Homespun Country Life. Egg Sandwiches made over a Campfire. August 2, 2016. August 2, 2016. Gabrielle and I did quite a bit of cooking over campfires this past weekend. We both agree that campfire cooking is the most fun! We aren’t really good at building fires yet…it took us thirty minutes to build the first one. And the wood we used was damp from rain, so our fires were smoky. It was still fun; there is something really satisfying about building a fire for cooking a meal. Cast iron fried eggs. You ar...

A Homespun Country Life. Denim Skirt from Jeans. August 9, 2016. August 7, 2016. This summer I wore the knees out in a pair of work jeans. I think it was from kneeling beside the kitty pool to check on and feed all the broiler chicks that we raised. Anyway, I decided to try making a skirt from the jeans! The inserts were definitely tricky. I used the denim for the lower legs of the jeans for the inserts. As you can see, I didn’t have quite large enough of a piece for the back insert, so I h...It took me ...

A Homespun Country Life. Pinterest Pig Cake for Gabrielle’s Birthday. June 27, 2016. June 27, 2016. Yesterday was Gabrielle’s birthday, and we wanted to share some pictures of her cake with you all! Gabrielle has had her birthday cake picked out ever since she saw this piggy cake on Pinterest a few months ago. She has always liked pigs, but has never been able to convince Mom and Dad to get any. I purchased these fondant pigs. Happy birthday little sister! That was the most delicious chocolate cake ever!

Rhubarb Custard Pies – A Homespun Country Life
https://ahomespuncountrylifepartii.wordpress.com/2016/05/30/rhubarb-custard-pies
A Homespun Country Life. May 30, 2016. May 29, 2016. Every year around Memorial Day, we make rhubarb pies. I suppose you could say that it is one of our spring/summer traditions! But I have a solution to that-learn how to use Dad’s grill so that I can bake on it. For a 9 inch pie:. We have 10 inch pie dishes so we adjusted this recipe to fit the dish, and we did not make a cover for it, just added the stars! 1 1/2 cups sugar. 3 eggs, beaten. 4 cups rhubarb, sliced 1/2 think. Meat Chickens and Coop. You a...
