Okay, so maybe tragedy is a little too extreme but it is bad news. Last night our little ladies did not get put to bed, the side gate was left open from our afternoon of yard work. We were in a hurry this morning so I did not check on the girls and we got home around eleven at which…
Our little ladies are getting bigger and bigger and harder to round up. We have been getting evening rain and I try to get the little ladies in their house before it gets too crazy. I know have a real life experience to the term… “herding chickens”. Those silly things! I think they are laughing at my shenanigans, cause I…
Just a few pictures of our girls… They are now nine weeks old and are getting bigger. We are getting excited about having eggs in the near future. We went to Costco this weekend to buy our eggs and the price has gone up dramatically. We paid $6.80 for two dozen and just a few months ago we were only…
My feelings towards weeds are growing from nuisance to hatred! Sakes alive… they grow so stinking fast and they are taking over the few areas that I have already cleared like two or three weeks ago. I resorted to searching Pinterest to find a solution… I found that vinegar is the miracle solution. Granted you could use a harsh chemical…
I planted our garden a few weeks ago and everything is growing nicely.

Okay, so maybe dilemma is too much but, this goes back to being Decorating Challenged… So this is my vision… Throw Pillow… Compliments of maillardvillemanor.com So I found a few napkins that I liked and I thought that I could use them to make some throw pillows. I purchased them and brought them home and now I am in a…
Really? I know I should be able to make a decision by myself, right? LOL! Michael has never been a fan of rugs. He is a minimalist to the bone. Anything fluffy is not his forte. I guess that is why I am seeking advice and help from the internet… aka YOU! I have been on the search for a…
Yeah! The construction has begun on my new pantry. I cannot even express how excited I am about this. When we bought this house my major concern was where was I going to put all our food. Our old house had a huge pantry plus Michael built me a food storage room in the basement. I was in storage heaven. …
Many of you already know that we have added to our family… Michael bought chicks and ducks. Well the ducks, Michael bought because I told him about when I was younger my parents bought us girls ducks and it was pretty cool. They would follow us around the yard and it was neat. Little did I remember what a mess…
