I was stoked to find this beauty on a local Facebook sale group for just $15. I've had it in the back of my mind for months that I'd like to create a floating house and have ducks on our big pond. My idea involves an old doghouse, a pallet, and several plastic barrels, and … Continue reading My next little project

Holy crap!!! What was that???
I was reading, Jake was building a Lego creation, Sahara was on her phone, and Ted was getting ready for bed Saturday night. The dogs were outside having a potty break, and suddenly I heard this shriek, and they all went wild and flew off the porch, just carrying on something terrible. By the time … Continue reading Holy crap!!! What was that???

Serious salad prep
Easiest on the go lunch prep ever: salads in jars and berries in cups! Put the bigger items like onions, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. in the jar first and then add the greens (that way they don't get soggy). It's the perfect size for a lunch salad! Berries in cups make perfectly portioned snacks and … Continue reading Serious salad prep

Now I just have to figure out how to run … Continue reading Guess who drove the tractor Saturday?

Normally, the dogs go only when something is wrong as they're all healthy and happy; Puppers just gets so nervous when she goes in. She watches my face for visual cues more than any dog I've ever had, and … Continue reading Visiting the vet

Ouch!
It's a fact of life that all kids fall down and get scrapes and bruises. Sometimes they really take a whopper of a fall... ... like Jake did at school earlier this week. I took him to Urgent Care to make sure he didn't have a concussion and didn't break his nose (he didn't). He … Continue reading Ouch!

Country girl driving in the big city
Today, we had a staff meeting in Columbus. We have these meetings periodically, and we either drive way up north to the Sandusky area or we drive to Columbus. These are always fun stressful times for me because though I am a good driver, I feel like I am holding a learner's permit and just … Continue reading Country girl driving in the big city
