Go Green, Save Green!
Happy Earth Day! I’m proud to say that this year Ryan and I have made a lot of changes to decease our environmental impact. Once we decided to cloth diaper we realized how much of the rest of our lives seem disposable. Everything around us is individually packaged or made to be thrown out after…

We are finally starting to see a bit of Spring in Wisconsin. Yesterday it was even in the 60s. We spent quite a bit of time outside yesterday assessing what needed to get done. Because our house was a foreclosure, a lot of the yard work was neglected for a while. The house has gorgeous…

Temporary Chicken Housing
We have moved about 30 minutes away from our first home. The new place doesn’t have a chicken coop, so we needed to set up something temporary. For a few weeks we left them in their coop and visited to feed and water them every other day. While not ideal, it worked out for a…
