My How They Grow!

Pumpkins (corn, sugar beets, edible beans, soy beans, wheat) aren't the only things growing on our farm. So are our sweet country kiddos. Each of the Bieber babies was born in the spring and was 6-7 months old for his/her first pumpkin patch season. What better way to document than a baby in a pumpkin picture.

February Festivities

This is the first weekend in a while where we haven’t really had anything going on, so the kids and I went crazy with the crafts and activities! Valentine Boxes First, we made the girls’ valentines boxes. Bah wanted a Valentine Monster, and Boo (of course) wanted a pig. I saved her pig from last year for almost the entire year but a little before Christmas she wanted to play with it and Bubs destroyed it. So we made a new one. They turned out pretty cute, and I love that as the girls are getting older they are able to help more. Valentine Gift -Denim Pouch After that, we decided to get some sewing in by making pouches as Valentines for our cousins and friends. We cut pieces of old denim and sewed them to create pouches. Then, the kids cut shapes and letters out of felt to personalize them. This project was much faster than I expected, so we even had time to make bath bombs. Valentine Gift - Bath Bombs My kiddos all love bath bombs or bath fizzies, and they were excited ...

Backyard Fun

We spend a lot of time on the farm over the summer since neither the kids or I have school. However, June is packed with swimming lessons, baseball games, and the summer reading program, which means we spend more time at home than at the farm. Even though we keep a fairly busy schedule in June, we still have downtime that I like to fill with fun backyard activities. Hopefully, you will be able to try some of them too. Fairy Garden This is our third year planting a fairy garden. The first year PICTURE it was a small, container garden, but last year we expanded so that there would be more room for plants and accessories. The girls enjoy taking care of it and playing in it, but last year Bubs especially enjoyed sitting in it and destroying it. I don’t think he will be as concerned with it this year, so we should be able to expand. Our area is just blocked off with leftover pavers from the patio. We have built up our accessories from my mom, grandma, and great aunt. Last year, w...

Backyard Fun Part 2

I can't believe summer is quickly winding down. Here are some of the fun things we did in July. Kool-aid Dyed Hair This was a “girls only” activity because Bubs’ hair is too short. So he was a helper and liked playing with the gloves. After looking at a few recipes and strategies online, I came up with this technique. Supplies (per person/color): 3 packets of Kool-aid (the kind without the added sugar) 1 cup boiling water 2 tablespoons conditioner Old towel(s) Saran wrap Hair clips Gloves Hair dryer Steps: Isolate the hair that you plan to color. The girls wanted to just dye the bottom tips of their hair, so no isolation was needed. Put on gloves Mix the Kool-aid packets into the water Add the conditioner Make a garbage bag dress (which the girls thought was funny). If dipping, sit back in a chair allowing the ends of your hair to rest in the mixture for 5 minutes. If saturating, begin applying the mixture to the entire strand of hair...
