Dream house



I would love a big old farm house with a yard. Well, today I found one. OK, it is in a small little town about 20 minutes from everything...but what a house. It has 9 bedrooms and a wine cellar! It has a very large yard and it's totally renovated. This big house is almost the same price as my tiny little row house. Location, location, location! The question is would I be willing to drive everywhere with 5 kids? I must say, this is a dream house to me.

it is beautful. 20 mins would be a long way for me with one. I grew up 15 mins away from everything and there were 4 kids in my fam. My mom went to the grocery shop every 2 weeks. Once we were home after school or whatever it took A LOT to get in the mood to go back. I live in a small-ish community about 30 mins from big city. When I lived in big city I had no issue with driving to the now small-ish community two or three times a day if needed. Now it is difficult to get the motivation to go to big city, heh. It really is all what you get used to. sorry to be so long.

I would do it in a heart beat with the size of your family.
I live 15 minutes from everything and I love it.
I don't miss being in town at all.
I go into town maybe once or twice a week.
Maybe there are charming little country schools there.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
