I try an...

Family, homesteading, and self-acceptance. Monday, December 5, 2016. When It's Not the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. I'm a Christmas girl. I love winter, I love snow, I love blankets and cocoa and Christmas movies and pretty lights. Christmastime is one of my favorite times of the year. Everything sparkles and shimmers with celebration and the anticipation of a new year, a fresh start. Deal with my ex-husband's girlfriends, all out in the open like this. Can't figure out how to do this on your own, hm?

http://flawsforgiven.blogspot.com/2015/07/an-affordable-chicken-hoop-house.html
Family, homesteading, and self-acceptance. Friday, July 24, 2015. An Affordable Chicken Hoop House. This is a tale of woe and further woe, followed by a pretty sweet lesson that might save you some hardship if you're looking to keep your hens safe. My 5 girls liked their little coop of white-trim love. It was a gift, purchased through MyPetChicken. And given to me as a goodbye present last year when I left my full time corporate job to pursue writing and homesteading and kid-raising. A huge, giant shove.

Family, homesteading, and self-acceptance. Monday, December 19, 2016. Creating Grateful Kids at Christmastime. Buy them a Hatchimal, the end. I am absolutely, 100% kidding. Hatchimals are not the answer, people. What might I get? It could be anything in there. I loved that feeling. I want my kids to feel that feeling. The boxes arrive and I stash them away, checking beforehand to ensure everything was delivered, again calculating who will get what and did I get enough for it to look equal for each girl a...
