Reading, Writing, and Texting
Homeschooling in our house looks more like unschooling so reading and writing, along with the learning of other subjects, is largely unstructured. As the kids get older though we are trying to add a little bit of structure in and hold them accountable for some work. Reading has been slow going for my oldest and although…
A Home for the Chickens
Back in March we got 6 adorable little chicks they have grown and are now currently living on our deck. Finally over the weekend we started building them some more permanent lodging.

Over the years I have researched and tried various methods of staking, containing, stringing up and controlling the tomatoes without much success. They usually…
The (mostly) Weed Free Garden
I want to be honest for a second, we are fairly lazy gardeners. It doesn’t help that the garden is down the hill and that we’re not fans of weeding. We usually leave the weeds until they are to the point of almost overtaking everything! Despite letting it get totally overrun with weeds we still…
Water, Weed and Wait!
That’s what our greenhouse looked like on Friday but now our greenhouse is empty! That’s because over the weekend we moved all of our plants into the garden and finished planing any seeds that still needed to be sewn. Now we just water, weed and wait! Continue Reading ….
