Childproof?

I am all for childproofing your house, really I am. Why make it harder on both yourself and the kids? Get rid of all the little breakable things, lock away the stuff that is not safe or that is precious. I don’t want to make the areas of my house that my kids live in […]

Me Me Me Me Me… and other stuff…

The ever wonderful Planning Queen over at Planning With Kids tagged me for this me me…and since it’s been a long week and my brain is mush I figured now would be as good a time as any to blog my end of the bargain. It’s the A-Z of me.
Attached or single? Have been attached […]

Ma Pickle’s Home for Wayward Hens….

We have new chooks.
A week or so ago we went to the farmers market in search of the perfect pair - a Wyandotte hen and rooster. We didn’t find them, but the Twinadoes wanted to choose a chook each and since we only had four hens and room for about that many more we […]

Weekly Winners…

I keep planning on taking more photos. I add it to my ‘To Do List’, it just never quite gets done most days…. I am slack I know, no excuses… just slackness.
So this week’s weekly winners (thanks to Sarcastic Mom) are kind of from last week as well… last Saturday and um, today to […]

Not October Already!!??!!

No, it can’t be. I am not ready! Not ready I tell you! I am not ready for it to be October.. I want a little bit more of September please.

Want! Want! Want!

The very generous government of ours decided it really did owe me money that it had previously decided I was not going to get when it first looked at the number of children I had and how much my hard working husband earned. I was pretty sure when it was all tallied up in the […]

To Do….

Am I the only one who needs to write some things on my To Do list every day for a week before it actually gets done?

Weekly Winners… Dress-ups and Traffic Jams

It’s Sunday again! It’s been another crazy week but school (or in our case kinder) holidays have officially started and my plan is to try my hardest to just enjoy my children, nothing more, nothing less. So not much to show today in the way of weekly winners (Thanks to Sarcastic Mom for creating this […]

Blessings

The end of a long week spent with good friends
The silence of the first warm night without the fire going
Letting my girls sleep in their dress-up clothes
Family visitors who come bearing all our favourite food.
Farmers Markets with free face painting.
$2 pots of strawberries from a local back yard.
Chickens who think the babies is one of […]

Rethinking the Hermit Thing…

You know, recently I have gotten so over all the comings and goings, and having to be places, and running around, and for a while I really thought it would be rather nice if I could just never leave the house again. I’d just home school the kids, grow all our own food and become […]
