My very first blog award!! I'm not going to lie... this does stroke the ego just a teeny little bit. I have been blogging for... actually, it is exactly four months today! To be noticed by a talented writer such as Aaron from The Confusing Middle feels nothing short of amazing. Thank you Aaron, for the nomination for the Liebster …

The Name Game
I feel like this blog is making a liar out of me. I post about our 19 chickens... all but nine of them are slaughtered. We buy four more.... now we have a baker's dozen. I never wrote about that. I wrote about my bees and how I accomplished a split that didn't go as …
Alaina is Sausage!
Today was my oldest daughter's last day of high school.

It's bad enough they send home these freaking "homework assignments" once a month. It's not like I …
Step Right Up and Take the Grown-Up Quiz!!
