{leah}“So I guess my questions are, did this start out as a hobby farm or did you marry a farmer? Does your husband have another job outside of the farm? How much do your girls help? Is it something they are expected to do like common chores around the house? How much of farm life […]
Making photos BIG in blogger posts
Though I think I’ve already asked this question about a million times, I’m still dying to know whether and if yes, then how you make the pictures on your blog so big. It would be wonderful to figure that out- because that’s been the quest on my blog for quite a while. Thanks!Yohan I thought […]
Curious? Snoopy? Inquistive?
Feel like being nosy or snoopy today? How about something more mild and just inquisitive or curious? Ask me. Come on. I know there’s probably something you want to know more about me, my family, my faith, our farm, etc. ☺ I’ll answer the questions throughout the week in various posts. And where was I […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Nurturing Love and Friendship in Marriage
Spring is almost here. For us, that means working the fields, fertilizing, dragging to break up manure from the cows that fed on them during the winter, spraying for weeds, and getting the pumps ready to go to irrigate as soon as it’s warm enough. We do all this work so we can have a […]
Adding PDF files to your blog
One drawback to having a free blog with blogger is the inability to easily upload files other than pictures or videos to your blog. I am often asked how to get files, specifically pdf files, onto a blog post. The only way to do it is to have your file “hosted” on another site. There […]

March Forth
I’ve come to love this date. Why? It’s an imperative. I pointed this out to my children this morning while doing school. One rolled her eyes, “I hate grammar.” I don’t know why that struck me as funny. Then I went online and discovered today is National Grammar Day. Hilarious! Are you a grammar lover? […]
Cooking with children
“Every child loves to help cook and bake. The magic of mixing ingredients together to produce yummy cookies and getting to spend time with mom or dad in the process of it all creates some fun experiences. It can also become overwhelming when there are too many helpers that create a bigger mess taking more […]
Cloth Diapering
In the last two weeks I’ve received several requests for more information on what types of cloth diapers I use. I figured I might as well write a post about it. ☺ The following is just my experience with the brands I’ve used, what’s held up, what hasn’t, what I’ve liked and haven’t. And, I’m […]
Latter-day Homeschooling.com
The homeschool movement is growing by leaps and bounds. Over 20 years ago, when my husband and I were homeschooled we were hard pressed to find other families at all who were homeschooling. Our parents were truly homeschooling pioneers in their communities. Then our children came along. More families could be found who were homeschooling […]
The Daily Grind
I forget how much I’ve come to rely on modern conveniences until they break. Our dishwasher died Friday. We were already 2 loads behind due to some extreme baking done by Bon Bon and Semisweet. It took us an hour and a half to wash all the dishes by hand. This was a result of […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Unity in Marriage
The first home Mr. Ferrero Rocher and I lived in (not counting the apartment we had while in college) was an old 800 sq foot, non-insulated wood clapboard house. It was actually three office buildings from an old ghost town called Wonder here in Nevada. The buildings were brought down by horse and buggy in […]
