This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015I think to the outside world, I present a picture of someone who’s very calm, collected and generally together. But it’s all a fake-out of magnificent proportion. Those who know me well know I’m rarely calm, and am frequently and utterly un-collected. But they love me anyway, which is wonderful, I must say. I’ve mentioned before that we home school our four children. Technically, only three of Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2015It’s raining, it’s pouring! And I’m not complaining! Well, not much, anyway. The truth is we’ve been in a drought for the past 8 years and we desperately need the moisture. But I’ll be honest … it’s been raining for about three weeks now … and I’m starting to get a little annoyed. Shhhh! Don’t tell my husband! Or anyone else around here, for that matter. Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on April 21st, 2018 I bought a fancy ‘grown up’ camera last summer. It was on QVC as the ‘Today’s Special Value’, and it was a deal I couldn’t pass up. (Don’t judge – QVC is awesome and awesome people like me shop there.) Since then I’ve been taking pictures of pretty much everything around The Farm – kids, animals, scenery, dirt. In an effort to be able to Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 24th, 2015This week was my annual ‘single mom’ week. Every year, my husband has to attend a continuing education school for his crop insurance adjuster’s license. He usually doesn’t have to go very far – just into the City – for a few days, but he’s working for a different company now and their school was several hours away in another state. He left Monday after lunch Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015 Today is Good Friday, traditionally observed by Christians around the world as the end of Lent and the lead-in to Easter Sunday. Non-Christians celebrate Easter as a non-Christian holiday (although I wonder, seeing as Easter only exists because of Jesus Christ – what’s the deal with that?) complete with the big family gatherings, the egg hunts and everybody’s favorite Bunny. But there are many Christians Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015In my little corner of the world, tomorrow (Saturday) night marks the Time Change – meaning, the start of Daylight Savings Time. Or the end of Daylight Savings Time – I’m never sure which. This change – the spring forward – is my least favorite. It means that we actually lose an hour of sleep during the night – not a desirable situation, considering that I’ve Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015Here we are, 3 full days into the new year. I’ve noticed my Facebook page and my Pinterest feed overflowing with my friends’ goals and plans for 2014. But as for me … well, I’ve never been one to make “RESOLUTIONS” per say. I prefer a different approach to the fresh start of a new year … First, let me say that I have nothing against Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015First of all, let me apologize for the lack of Farm Mama posts over the past few weeks. Between winding down the kids’ activities for the year, getting ready for Christmas (which was a frenzied process since we didn’t even start decorating until December 10th and hadn’t done ANY of our shopping before the 19th!) and preparing for a mega cold, snow and ice laden weather Continue Reading
