hobby farm, laying hens

Unpleasantry is putting it nicely.  I must say that the pleasantries outweigh the unpleasantries but there is one unpleasantry that is not something that I wanted to deal with, but was forced to this morning.  I started out with 4 laying hens.  And as they became familiar with their new home they started roosting in the lower branches of the trees Continue reading →

I normally don’t blog about this kind of thing, but for me reading the Bible is part of having a healthy lifestyle.  I normally focus on exercise and healthy eating (which I have been terrible at lately – especially since I have been back in school full time), but this is something that
feeds my Continue reading →

candy, halloween

Around Halloween time I was listening to CBC radio on the way to school and heard about the Dentist Halloween Buy Back program.  Some dentist practices participate in a program where the kids can sell their candy back to the kids for $1 / lb.  Most Dentists send the candy to soldiers overseas.  I hope they send toothbrushes too!

Initially this sounds like a good idea.  It might be a help.  But $1/lb.  A kid is going to figure out Continue reading →

brownies

Last hmmm… March… that’s right… I made delicious brownies!  I don’t make brownies often and when I have they were from a box.  But these brownies were the best tasting brownies ever!  Even better than ones from a box.  So of course the recipe made it onto my blog.  Yes, I know it’s not healthy but I couldn’t resist.  From that emerged a brownie bake off contest.  I was going to do the contest a few weeks later and post it on my blog but with the end of the semester papers & exams and work and well, just life I totally forgot and it left my mind.  About a week ago I remembered it Continue reading →

chia seed, jam, recipe

After I told my sister about Chia (a blog is coming all about it soon) she found a recipe for jam in one of her fitness mags she reads.  I don’t think it was the actual “Fitness” mag that she got it from.  After reading them for a while they are pretty much the same – they start to blend together.  Anyway, we made the jam together.  After making it and tasting it we both decided we would never have to make the traditional jam again!

5 reasons to make Power Jam Continue reading →
