Who Needs TV?

Really, these animals are the best invention since television.  We are all enamored with them, find them fantastically amusing, and I personally am amazed with the ease of care for them.  Everyone should have chickens.  I'm telling you, everyone.

Ok, ok, I know they aren't half their size yet (and neither are their "droppings"), but really... They are going to give us breakfast every morning!  Fresh, free of fertilizer, real sunshine, real protein, soy free, bug eatin' eggs every day!  I can't wait!

Here are some interesting facts on pasture raised egg.  They have (compared to their commercial layin' egg counterparts):
          * 1/3 less cholesterol
          * 1/4 less saturated fat
          * 2/3 more vitamin A
          * 2-3 times more omega-3 fatty acids
          * 3 times more vitamin E
          * 7 times more beta carotene






Now, if only we had room for a cow...

Just the Six of Us

Six may seem like a lot but only to others. It is who we are. Some people like peace and quiet (who doesn't?), but the quiet we lack we gain all the more in giggles, feet scampering, I love yous, tickles, tiny voices singing. Being a mother to these four amazing little people and a wife to the most incredible person I know is a blessing that can't be put into words; I am living my dream.
