This Week It’s All About Chicks! Our New Chicks Arrived In the Mail! Week 10 2018

Getting baby chicks is always so much fun! Ours arrived at the post office so we ran to get them. Join us as we show you what we ordered and try to figure out what breed each chick is.

I ran onto this cute video of some chicks we had several years ago fighting over a cricket. Just had to post! Who wins? You’ll just have to watch and see…

Our baby chicks arrived in the mail and here’s a sneak peak!

Bunny Update, Building A Greenhouse, One Step Closer To Spring and More! Week 9 2018

Plans to build a cattle panel greenhouse have been in the works for a while, and we’re finally getting started on it!

We have lots of work we want to get done. We tried to start on some of it but it was colder out than what we thought. Didn’t get much done but at least we are a small step closer to being ready for spring!

We’re taking some of our mini rex bunnies to the Yoder Small Animal Auction. This time went a lot better than last time!

Just a little update and had to show you how big and cute our Holland Lops bunnies are..

Two Beautiful Days, Both Beautiful In Different Ways Week 8 2018

This day doesn’t even compare to the beautiful day we had in my last video… well wait… actually it IS a beautiful day, just a different kind of beautiful.

We finally have warm day without a lot of wind so we decided to get out and spend time with the animals, do a little garden work and just enjoy the day.

Easy Pot Roast In A Jar, Garden Update and More! Week 6 2018

Today I take you along as I do chores and show you on how the garden is looking after adding all those leaves plus give you an update on what’s been going on.

We bought a small green house so that we could try growing some greens inside while it’s still cold outside. Gearing up to start seeds in a few weeks!!

In this video I show you how to make an easy pot roast meal in a jar (Ball recipe) with the Carey Smart Canner.

Choosing Which Chicks To Order, DIY Cheap Fire Starters and More! Week 5 2018

We saw an interesting post where someone made cheap fire starters with egg cartons, drier lint, and crayons or paraffin wax. We decided to try it out to see if it works…

We let the bunnies out to have a little play time and just had to share a little bit of the cuteness..

Listen to our conversation as we talk with all of you who joined us live about which chicks we should order!

Unwelcome Visitor in the Coop, Crazy Easy Bread Dough and More! Week 4 2018

I decided to open up the crock and check to see how the sauerkraut was coming along. Also, I talk about reorganizing and upcoming videos!

I found this amazing bread dough recipe! In addition to a loaf of bread, you can use it to make a variety of things like cinnamon rolls, pizza, bagels, foccacia, and more! I even experimented with making tortillas and they turned out great.

Oh no… there’s an uninvited possum in the chicken coop!! I know he’s pretty much harmless so I try to be calm, cool and collected…

Cute Bunnies, More Cute Bunnies, and More! Week 3 2018

The Holland lop bunnies are getting big enough to wonder around now so we just had to share the cuteness with you!

With bitter cold temps and wind chill warnings out, what better way to spend the day than cuddling cute bunnies and eating soup?

Chat with us while we give an update on what’s been going on this week, plus see what the kids are painting!

First Snow of the Season, Getting Organized and More! Week 2 2018

Miley’s wishes finally came true… we got our first snow of the season!

One of our goals we’ve had since starting our homestead is to downsize to just stuff we need. We’ve worked on it some, but this year we want to focus on it more. Brooke had a day off and invited me to go out of town with her so we could shop for a few things to help us become more organized.

Syrup or jam… water or sky… river or road.. it can be anything you want it to be.
