Non Toxic Weed Killer

People are finally starting to realize that using toxic chemicals in your gardens actually does more harm then good. Not only does it destroy the soil, but these chemicals will also leech into the plants you are trying to grow. That being said not everyone has the time to hand pick every garden and flower bed and weeds can take over a garden pretty quick. 

Here is a Natural Non Toxic weed killer to help keep the weeds under control in your garden without subjecting your produce and flowers to chemicals that can and will leech into your plants and then into your system.

Spreading Their Wings.

So far this morning these little chicks have been rather entertaining. Between jumping from one end of the tank to the other, and trying to "fly" out of the tank I'm really glad that we made sure they had a secure roof! Haha. The kids can't get over how quickly these babies are growing, it seems each day they are doing something new and entertaining. Yesterday it was tossing their treats around the tank today flight! 

Hmmm I wonder what tomorrow will bring haha!

New Pressure Tank!

Today we change out the pressure tank. Woo hoo. Ok it might not sound like a big deal to you, but when you loose water pressure at random times, and because the old tank is well old you end up with plugged lines followed by chunks of iron flowing through your lines for a few days after you clear the blockage, yes a new tank is something to celebrate!

Really some days it's just the little things. I plan on celebrating with a nice hot shower once it's all done! 😄

More Younique sent!

So even though my house/homestead to do list seems to be getting behind these days, today I was able to ship off a few more Younique prizes and samples to some very lovely ladies! I'm about 90% ready for my show next weekend back in Stetter. Looking forward to catching up with a bunch of ladies I met at my last show down there. 

Still hoping to add some strong women to my team this month, love the ground floor opportunity, and the fact that the company just keeps growing! The momentum is awesome!! That being said if you or anyone you know is looking to get on board and meet a tone of amazing women not to mention make some really sweet cash on the side send me an email! youniquebyniki@gmail.com

Wet Wet Wet

Between the rain and snow lately things just won't dry out. I have a shed full of boxes and furniture I want to sell off, and a coop full of Christmas stuff I need to store. Seriously starting to feel like a chicken with my head cut off here. My honey do list is growing daily and my time line to get it done is getting shorter. 

If I only had one more shed I could make this work lol. Downsizing is great, and lord knows we needed it, but getting everything sold off is not only stressful, but overwhelming. 90% of the stuff is too good to toss out and too valuable to just give away.

Today is another one of those crappy snow/rain mix kinda days. I could run out and get my dirt to start more seedlings, but a) the dirt piles I've been given are currently mud hills and b) it's not quite warm enough for my seedlings to be outside. I even went to check out all the feed and grain I was given, but even that is far too wet to move just yet. It seems like a never ending circle around here these days. 

That being said I think me and the kids are gonna tackle the basement. Organize all the boxes and totes down there and maybe work on getting joeys Lego stuff set up. Worst case scenario I make room for all the totes and boxes needing to be stored and stick them down there for a week until this weather smartens up. 

Need to get something done, even if it's the stuff wayyyy at the bottom on my list.
