Animal Swaps

We went to a small animal swap on Saturday to sell baby bunnies and crafts. We expected a lot of people, but only a few people were there. We sold 2 bunnies, 1 bracelet, and 1 Keychain, so it wasn't a complete loss. These will be monthly throughout the summer, so I am hopeful. Have you ever been to a small animal swap? Did you buy anything?

Inflation

 Have you been hit hard by the inflation bug? Food that costs 200% more than it used to? Do you just wish you could go back in time and enjoy grocery prices from years ago? Me too! Since we have a family of 6, 4 of which are young, growing boys, we buy A LOT of food. My husband works outdoors, so I try to find filling foods for him. Some days, we eat sandwiches with a healthy side, other days, I make tacos (technically also a sandwich), but I always try to have protein, carbs, and fresh vegetables or fruit, but meat is expensive, so that is a bit harder some days. We use beans in its place at times, but my boys aren't big on too many beans.  We have found that ground chicken is cheaper than ground beef, but we do not enjoy ground turkey. We use Aldi as our main grocery store, which is honestly almost as expensive as other stores now. I drink water and Plexus that I already had at my house, to save money, even when I want a probiotic soda. I have stopped drinking actual sodas f...

Not a happy update

 Sweet baby River Willow was born on December 15, 2023. I was 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant, and River stopped growing at 10 weeks and 2 days (Thanksgiving). My heart is broken and I struggle with my anger and hate for myself. Why couldn't I keep my baby alive? Why did God take River? Everyone tells me it isn't my fault, but I don't believe it. How did I mess up so badly, that I lost my baby? I had stopped all caffeine, and I was eating healthy, when I could eat (thanks to morning sickness), how did I fail my baby? I followed "the rules" of pregnancy, yet here I am a little over 3 weeks later, full of anger and hatred. I sucked at eating and following "the rules" with my first 4 kids, but they were healthy and perfect at birth. I know I will never know what happened until I ask God in Heaven, but I have to live with this hurt and overwhelming sadness for the rest of my life. People have told me that I should be happy that I have 4 healthy boys already, bu...

Homeschool

Homeschooling took an extended break in our home. We were going to hit the ground running after 1st trimester morning sickness, but I lost River and struggled to get going again. My oldest is now back to working hard at 6th grade and trying to get through the review sections, so he can get to 7th grade. My 2nd son struggles with reading, so we are taking time to practice that while letting him practice real-life scenarios, like math skills are budgeting for meals, and cooking (measurements). He is in 2nd grade and zooming through all but reading. Mr. 5-year-old is in a mixture of Preschool and Kindergarten. He can recognize many letters but is not quite ready to read. He is a wild child and needs lots of breaks and playtime. My 2-year-old is in playschool. We talk about colors, play with blocks, sing songs, and just have fun, but he will not be ready for sit-down school for a while longer. When I hear that parents don't feel they are equipped to homeschool it bothers me. I didn...
