I went to The Rusted Barn today to pick up Jake's dresser. It's supposed to be beautiful weather this weekend, so I thought I could get it painted and get it into his room before his school starts on Monday morning. While I was there, I had to look at all of Tina's new fall … Continue reading I found goodies!

Quick cake
Jake wanted cake yesterday for a little snack, but since I'm trying to eat healthier, I didn't want to make an entire cake. I knew if I did that I wouldn't be able to stop myself, and my diet would be blown for the entire week. I found this recipe for chocolate cake in a … Continue reading Quick cake

Great Facebook find!
A couple of weekends ago, I found the cutest little chicken coop on the Facebook Marketplace, and I just had to have it. We drove about an hour away, and we picked it up.

Mrs. Dash – DIY
I love to make my own spice mixes from all of the different herbs that I have in the cabinet. I'm always looking for good recipes, and when I find one, I keep it and make my own of that from then on. Doing this saves a lot of money at the grocery store! Also, … Continue reading Mrs. Dash – DIY

Look what we found!
I've been looking for a hog feeder like this for over a year. They are EXPENSIVE brand new so I knew used was the only way I was getting one. We found a couple of them online, but each time, the seller had them sold before we saw them. This time, we got it though! … Continue reading Look what we found!

So worth the thorns!
I picked wild black raspberries the other day. I wound up with about a fourth of a ziplock baggie full of them (which was about two cups total). There were a lot of thorns on those bushes, but OMG! They were so worth the berry stained hands and the scratches, too!

I borrowed this pair of pygmy does from a friend who is in the process of moving and just isn't ready to take the goats to the new place yet since they are currently going back/forth each week to box up the old house and move into the … Continue reading We have goats again!

A little spray paint makes a big difference!
Last week, I grabbed the spray paint and headed outside to work on some yard furniture. Gramma Izzie gave me this little table and chairs set when she got a new set for her back patio, and I've had it for over a year and meant to paint it but just never got around to … Continue reading A little spray paint makes a big difference!
