Positivity seems to be a popular catch-phrase these days, but do you really understand the value of creating positivity in your life? Unfortunately, for many people, “positivity” is just a way to discount someone’s feelings. If anyone has ever told you to “just think positive”, you probably know what I mean.

Send Me Your Gnomes!
I used to really hate garden gnomes. A few years back, I wrote an article about whimsical garden decorations, which of course included garden gnomes. And they were pretty bad. I couldn’t figure out why people liked them. Continue reading
Protecting the Earth at Home
So I guess today is Earth Day. I don’t mean that to sound like I am making light of it; it just isn’t something I pay a lot of attention to.

E – Entertainment on the Homestead
Okay, I’m a day late with this. Yesterday my husband had the day off and the weather was wonderful, so we took advantage of it to get some major chores done on the homestead. My son was a huge help! He and Jeff cleaned out the goat barn, and let me tell you, that was a huge job.

Homesteading from A to Z
It is April 1st and I just decided at the last minute to join the Blogging from A to Z challenge. I am not a spontaneous person; I like a game plan and advanced notice on most things. But hey, this could be fun.
So today I have to start with A. What is a good homesteading topic that begins with A? Well, I haven’t figured that out yet, so I may be a bit late in posting my starting post.
Anyhow, check back soon and I will have my A post up. I hope. 😉
Typical Mondays
It’s Monday
I saw this on Facebook and thought was very fitting. It’s Monday, which means my big work day. Lots of editing and not much time to be outside. It’s only supposed to get up to 33 degrees today, so I won’t want to be outside much, but I do want to see how the new goats are doing. I also want to get some seeds planted in my sunroom. We shall see. Right now I am still waiting for the coffee to finish brewing so I won’t get too ambitious.
