Back in June I had mentioned that my mother had brought me some of my great grandma’s silverware and I had cleaned it up. I have been searching for frames since then. I was determined to buy some shadow boxes and them mount them in there. I have been pricing those frames between Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, JoAnne’s and online –…
Let me begin this post by noting that I am not a crafty mother. You know those moms that are always doing fun little crafts with their kids… yep, not me! Today was one of the very rare days that I decided to be crafty with the boys. With the beautiful fall weather I was feeling inspired one might say. …
This week the weather has been showing its fall temperatures and because of that I decided to pull my pumpkins from the garden. As I was pulling my pumpkins I found this pumpkin growing between the fence and the garden beds. After pulling the pumpkin I was struck by the thought that this little pumpkin grew despite the tight conditions. …
Because life here in the Kulow house is so boring as it is we decided to add to the fun. On Saturday the boys and I ran some errands and happened to end up at one point at the local animal shelter and middle brother fell in love with a kitten. I will be the first to admit that I…

Chicken Butt! LOL! Okay so maybe it is not that funny. Chicken butts are the topic of conversation here. I have gone back and forth thinking that I had a rooster on my hands and now that our chickens are sixteen weeks old I can say without a doubt that I have a rooster. I will say that we have…
Goodness sakes alive, I have been passing out garden harvest to friends and neighbors. I have been totally excited each evening when I go into the garden and find new veggies, it is like Christmas in the garden! I will say that for my garden next year I am not going to plant as many pumpkins, I will plant my…
I am so proud of my little plot of garden! Just tonight my harvest was huge… as I was picking and admiring I was in awe of just how cool it is that I can put seeds in the ground and up pops plants that provide me and my family with healthy vegetables. Kind of a silly thing to be…
I am so excited about my garden. It is neat to see it coming to life and bearing fruit. All the hard work of watering, weeding and such is beginning to pay off! Here I have cherry tomato, crook neck squash, zucchini, and spaghetti squash.
