I am making us a Nature Table, I don’t really follow a Waldorf type home schooling approach but there are some things that I like and a nature table is one of them. It is just an area that they can have seasonal things and stuff they collect from nature, it can have a theme or just be random stuff, the possibilities are endless.
I decided to base our...

Damn meat!
I am not a vegetarian, I grew up eating meat. There was a time when I tried to be a vegetarian. There were many excellent reason; the way animals are treated in mass farming, the damaging effects on the environment of this type farming and the less than healthy meat that is the end result. I knew all the reasons and I did try but I still could...

I was looking on line for information on companion planting. I came across these great posters from Afristar. I emailed them and asked if I could buy 2 of the posters. I wanted to use them to plan our veggie garden and I thought that the kids and I could use for home schooling. The pictures are so clear and easy that I knew the kids would benefit from them....

But It has been fun and for the most part I think I have managed. I will post some more updates of things I made soon.
But this year I want to start a...

Thalia left me a comment with a link to The FLY lady so I went over to have a look.
This is what she says: Are YOU living in CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome)? Do you feel overwhelmed, overextended, and overdrawn? Hopeless and you don’t know where to start? Don’t worry friend, we’ve been there, too.
Step through the door and...

Julia mentioned on her blog having a word for the year, hers were personal and inspirational. Her word this year is Nurture which I think is so beautiful. My word is way less glamorous.
I am not tidy by nature, in fact I am a bit messy and disorganized. I would rather be doing just about anything than tidying and organizing. I love these sayings
I saw this...

Who would have thought that 3 little yellow bundles of fluff that we acquired in September would be the result of so much learning, heart ache, joy, vets visits but as of yet not one egg.
I have blogged about getting the chickens before. How we got them from day olds and built a coop for them and have been waiting for them to lay some eggs. Well the egg...

I was having a nap with Titus the other day and was in a light, almost awake state but asleep enough to dream. Does that make sense?
Anyway I was dreaming The Geek and I were on a camp somewhere and were desperately trying to be alone to have sex. It was not working, we were being interrupted a lot. Hmm no genius is needed for dream interpretation. Babies...
