Five Things I Learned From the Keys to a Healthy & Productive Flock Webinar

I signed up to attend a very nicely done webinar from Grit and Manna Pro. For those who didn’t spend their evening glued to a webinar instead of watching cable television, I thought I’d give a little recap of five really great things I learned from the Keys to a Healthy & Productive Flock webinar: [...]

Misty Morning Fun

We headed to the playground this morning for some misty fun, but when we got there, we noticed a little problem: You can’t do a lot of playing when the place is practically under water! That’s okay, though. We had a little nature hike, saw that our friend the heron was back for another year [...]

Easy Easter Decor for the Table

I know it can be tough to keep costs down when you’re the one in charge of the holiday meal for a big family. I thought you’d like to see the cute little Easter corner my sister made for our early Easter dinner: She raided the kids’ stuffed toy collection and used the bunnies and [...]

EZ-Twist Paintstick Review

I recently received an EZ-Twist Paintstick from HomeRight to review. I get really frustrated by paint trays and open paint cans because…Umm…I’m clumsy. I have no idea why, but if you put a big five gallon bucket of paint or a paint tray filled with a nice bright color of paint beside me, I immediately [...]

Cheap Chicken Ark Kit

I think I mentioned that I’d love to have a chicken ark. Because my old portable coop was in worse repair than I thought and I bought an eight month old trio instead of peeps, I didn’t get the set up I’d been planning on in time to house my chickens. I ended up with [...]

Hershey’s Better Basket Blog Hop

I don’t do a lot of memes that require tagging other bloggers, but this one is different. Hershey’s will donate money to the Children’s Miracle Network, which is a really worthy cause. So, thanks to Eliza from  The Life of a Home Mom for tagging me and gifting me with a lovely Virtual Easter Basket. [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Enjoying Spring

Some of us are really enjoying the lovely spring weather. Letting chickens have some freedom to scratch around in the yard is a good idea for several reasons: You save money on feed. Thrifty chicken owners know that they go through a lot more feed when they don’t let their hens forage for green stuff [...]

Martin’s Deals for the Week of March 21-27

Easter is coming up soon. I’ve noticed the deals the week before and the week of a holiday are typically not quite as good. Hey, the store knows you’re buying fresh rolls once it gets you in the door, so it concentrates on good deals on the big essentials, like the ham, and doesn’t worry [...]

Introducing Our Newest Family Members – The White Rock Bantam Trio

I’ll start by reassuring people that don’t hang out in the poultry world. We didn’t invite a rock band to stay with us. This White Rock Bantam trio is a cute rooster and two adorable hens. The coop isn’t finished yet, but we have a bunny hutch that makes a safe and secure spot for [...]

Don’t Forget to Search With Swagbucks to Earn Amazon Gift Cards

I completely neglected to add the Swagbucks plugin to my browser window when I had to replace my laptop because of its imminent demise. (Am I the only one who notices that the first laptop lasted until the letters literally wore off the keys and the new ones seem to last 12-18 months? I’ve gone [...]
