I am checking out for this Memorial Day weekend for some much needed R&R with the family. Don't worry, I will have some delicious camping recipes and I'm certain, some funny family stories to share on my return back to blogland. But first, I wanted to give a kombucha update - It failed. Five days …

Honored…
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 …
Fire and Desire
** I have been attempting to persuade my incredibly talented friend to set up a blog for some time now. He is an amazing poet - his pieces are expressive and thought-provoking and deserve to be read/heard. He made me a deal... If I were to post one of his poems on my blog and he received 'any …
Oh Hap-BEE day!
What an amazing experience this afternoon! Today I had the pleasure of capturing and hiving my very first swarm of bees! This couldn't have come at a better time: on last inspection of H1, I had finally succumbed to the notion that they were in fact Queenless, and I was going to have to do another split. …
Now I’ll Never Be a Teen Model!
A little trip down memory lane with this post.... Brad was an attractive-enough looking guy. He shaved his head, which was something that I never found attractive in a guy, but whatever. He also had a funny smell. Not bad just... funny. At least he smelled funny to me. I always did have a warped sense of smell, though. …
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. Ever. <sniff> Wanting to make a lasting impression on the rest of her senior class, Alaina decided to get dressed up this morning before school. She looked stunning; wearing an adorable white sundress she had (tastefully) applied make-up and had curled her hair. I couldn't help but …
You Might Be a Bad Supervisor If…
Yesterday was a very bad day at work. So bad in fact, that when I got home I ate a piece of cheese. A big piece. With a big glass of wine. Okay, a bottle of wine. My stomach is in knots today: the combination is playing hell on my normally dairy-free stomach. I’ve had …
3-4-5 Quiz
I'm going to be completely honest.... I love taking quizzes. I was recently reminded of this when Josh from My Friday Blog posted a Grown up Quiz, which I stepped right up and took in (wait for it...) Step Right Up and Take the Grown-Up Quiz!! When I happened upon Peckapalooza's Confusing Middle blog post I …
Black Seed Oil: Cures Everything but Death
This is too great of a post not to share! Lemon juice, ginger, and milk thistle are must-haves in my daily regimen. While I haven't yet tried black seed oil, the little research that I have done this morning suggests that this is a powerful immune boost and overall wonderful addition to any diet. Also, …
