 I got another blog up and running. Don’t expect much, I threw it together during a couple of Fiona’s naps, migrated some posts from this blog over, and added some drafts and quick posts of our coop progress. It’s definitely a work in progress that likely won’t be finished until after our [...]

 Well, we’re still getting a lot of rain, but the sun is slowly making itself known again.
Which means trips to the playground with friends, new and old. Meredith has been loving her bike so far this year. We wanted to get her a run bike, or convert this one to [...]

 I haven’t been writing much. Mostly, because I’m not really sure what to write. I started this blog to chronicle my journey as a parent and it evolved into trying to portray our unschooling and consensual lifestyle and how it looks and works for our family. Lately, Meredith has been going through a very [...]

 I feel like there is so much to do around here that we will never not have something that needs done again. I love it though, really. Occasionally I feel a bit overwhelmed by everything, but mostly it’s so neat to be doing all these things for our own place and trying things that [...]

 We have been busy, busy, busy! Over the weekend we had some really good friends come out and help us get our chicken coop started. In one day they got from this:

It was really cool to watch the progress. I can’t wait until it’s done and we can stick [...]

 Yesterday we celebrated Fiona’s birthday. I can’t believe my tiny little baby is already a year old. Time sure flies now that I’m a mom. Wasn’t this just yesterday?
We had a good day. We had considered going out and doing something, like we did for Meredith’s first, but the weather [...]

 I’d read about seed balls a few times and thought it might be an interesting project to try, but hadn’t got around to it. Basically, seed balls are a mixture of clay, compost, and seeds formed into a ball. The clay protects the seed from birds and insects, the compost gives it something to [...]

 Make lemonade! Or in this case, when your three year old very proudly makes you breakfast all by herself:
Add some berries and make a smoothie (but take the bay leaf out first ).
Though I would suggest making sure you know exactly what’s in “breakfast” first. The one Meredith made [...]

 I’m considering splitting my blog into two parts. One for parenting, family, life learning, etc., and the other for homesteading. People interested in one aren’t necessarily interested in the other. It’s a tough call though, since homesteading is a big part of life learning for us. It is possible to subscribe to just one [...]

 We went to a poultry swap today. We didn’t have anything ready for chicks yet, so I’d told Kris I wouldn’t get anything unless there were Silkie chicks, or maybe ducks. There were neither at the swap, but we came home with chicks anyway. We got two Lavender Orpingtons (I love the colour and [...]
