What a long project! Only having Mr. Bluejeans available on weekends made for slow progress (so glad he's a full timer now!). Here is how the outside of our guinea hen coop remodel turned out. We doubled the size!

If you don't know it, I'm a BIG essential oil user. I grew up in a household that believed in essential oils and organics long before they were "cool". As a matter of fact back in the day... these things were kinda "uncool" and you were labeled "Hippy Dippy". Well we've come full circle haven't we folks. These things really do work and are a far better thing to use then chemicals ~ IMHO! Here is what I like to use in the livestock areas and on the donkeys as a bug repellent. If you're "uncool" ☺ like me ~ you'll just love it♥

Want to save money on dog treats? We were gifted some cow liver & hearts. Figured it would be a nice treat for the dogs (did you know liver helps dogs with tear stain problems - that dark brown stain that appears on their coat under their eyes) plus clear up some of Bijoux tear stains! Check out how easy it is to freeze dry liver for dog treats!

Here we grow again! Another Spring and another garden started! You know what? I'm excited about this one! Even though I didn't enlarge the area to plant that I had hoped for. Even though we still need to build more planters. Even though I still have SO much to learn. The delicious veggies that our garden gave us last year was all I needed to want more. So, I'll just have to deal with all the things I don't have and enjoy all the goodness that we do have. That's homesteading isn't it? Make it work! Come and join me today as I plant cucumbers and find a visitor in the garden!

Time. Does anyone have seeds? I gotta plant some more time. Oh, wait. Wrong kind. With all the things that need to be done on the farm, something that saves time it most appreciated! When we looked at various ways to apply time saving to our coop, clean up was the number one thing that came up. Building this poop deck has been such a time saver and BONUS... keeps the coop cleaner!

#5DogFarm #GoBigOrGoHomestead #InstantPotLasagna
Super Quick Lasagna was never in my vocabulary until now. Taking care of 60 acres and livestock doesn't leave much room for complicated recipes. Even though I enjoy those the best, in order to eat right I had to figure out something...enter the Instant Pot.
Who would've thought that ya could make LASAGNA in it? Well... you can!
Let me show you how and if you'd like the FULL recipe go here:

We finally made it onto the farm with our campers. Gigi's house as delivered by this point but Mr. Bluejeans, Jamie and I are still living in campers. Here's the beginning of our water storage which we still use to this day (1 year later). Getting closer to large catchment systems but not there yet!
We've had to replace our IBC lid. Here's our go to replacement:
