Last night Andrew was horrified when he went to check on the chickens and three were missing. Frantically he searched for the flashlight and started checking everywhere in case they had been attacked. I took the light and began calling for them, within thirty seconds we heard chirping. My three rebellious girls were sleeping next to our clothesline on top of the drying rack. (Taken with instagram)
Chalk wall - this is the best idea for kids to get their creativity out and it is a snap to clean with a little vinegar and a washcloth. (Taken with instagram)
Alright stop right there. Take a look at the first part of that sentence.
You’re telling folks that their equality, their status as a fully formed human being, is something they have to earn, something you have to approve of, something they are not automatically entitled to.
I don’t care who you are, who you’re talking to, or what the second half of that sentence is. You’re wrong.
This every single time.

Thank you so much
Garden 5/28 everything has just shot up. Andrew is an excellent gardener. We have squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, and peas that are either blooming or are producing veg/fruit right now. Also, there is a strip of lettuce we harvested this morning. (Taken with instagram)
Our pantry is a work in progress. Cranberry zing red, the trim will be black. This is -my- first home improvement project. I can’t wait until it is finished and I can show it off and start working on the rest of our dream kitchen. (Taken with instagram)
Trying to eat a little cleaner tomorrow.
NOTE: Behind this cut is a possibly triggering post. I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and really felt like it was time to share a part of my personal life that some people may or may not be able to handle briefly reading about - my eating disorder. Don’t worry though, this will not be a regular thing I talk about on my Tumblr.
First time doing this with my hair, not awesome but not terrible either. (Taken with instagram)

More Articles about MotivationTake it One Day at a Time
Don’t worry about tomorrow, focus on today. Focus on eating right for today, make it your goal for the day, and repeat it tomorrow, and the day after that and the day after that.Surround Yourself with Positivity
“Change your thoughts, and you change your world”, it’s really true. Think you can, and you can do anything. Think positive, breathe positive, live positive, be positive as much as possible. Focus on the solution, rather than the problem. Surround yourself with good people, good food (food that’s good for you), and good thoughts.
Create a Dream Board
Bring your dreams to life. Look at them every day. Never lose sight of what you want. Fill it with your favourite quotes and pictures to inspire you.How to Make a Dream Board
Digital Dream Board
Create a Dream BoardVisualize Accomplishing your Goals
If your goal is to lose weight, create a mental picture of yourself having already achieved it. What will you look like, feel like, and move like when you have accomplished that goal? Living as if you are already there makes realizing your vision something you focus on daily.Make Realistic Goals
Ask yourself what you want. What do you want from life? Who do you want to be? Where do you want to be? And make realistic goals. Now that doesn’t mean you can’t have your dream body, it just means realizing that it won’t happened overnight. Make S.M.A.R.T goals. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, & Time-bound goals.SMART Criteria
Example of SMART goalReward Yourself, Be Kind to Yourself & Recognize your Progress
When you know you have been good to your body, treat yourself! Find a reward that inspires you- a new pair of sneakers or workout outfit, a new music CD for your walk or pamper your feet with a pedicure for all of your efforts. Give yourself a hug once in awhile! Train hard, eat right, sleep well, but once a week, allow yourself an indulgence. Enjoy your favorite dessert, get a massage, or simply take some time for yourself to relax.
It’s Okay to Cheat!
Once in a while, cheating will keep you on track! Planning a cheat, whether it’s a snack, a meal, a weekend or a week vacation, can make all the difference in the world. Allowing yourself a little “controlled” wiggle room, you can avoid falling off the wagon. And once your “cheat” is done, go right back to your plan.
Forget about the Scale
Focus on how you’re life is changing, on how you feel. Focus on how you’ve changed. Focus on the inches lost, the muscle gained. Focus on how much better you’re becoming and how much you’re gaining. Alternatively, weigh yourself once a week, or even once a month. Measure your entire body monthly as well. Take one picture of yourself daily in the same outfit for the duration of your journey.Don’t Compare Yourself to Others
Focus on yourself, on creating the best you possible. Remember that everyone is different, everyone has their own experiences, and their own unique imperfections. Different people are at different stages at different times. Comparing yourself to others can lead to bitterness, anger, jealousy, envy and even unhealthy competition.
