Since my girls are now in their run, they’ve been enjoying these yummy treats from @grubterra. Dried Black Soldier Larvae are great for chickens. They contain calcium and protein. Your flock will have healthier feathers, stronger eggshells and better immune systems.
.
@grubterra sources their larvae in the USA & Canada from sustainable farms. They are 100% natural and no preservatives. Grab you a bag and see how your flock loves them too! Use code: Grub10 at checkout for 10% off.

I finally had a chance to finish my Christmas tree

I finally had a chance to finish my Christmas tree. I wasn’t liking just a skirt. So, I went down to the barn and grabbed some scrap wood I had leftover from my garden beds.
.
I put this wooden box together in less than 10 minutes. Ladies, don’t be afraid of power tools. I used my drill and my boards were already cut to the size I needed. I also used some 2x4 scrap pieces for the corner supports. You can make one out of new or old wood. Bill even loves it! 🎄What do y’all think?

Y’all, I can’t wait to show you what I made! I had some leftover wood from my garden beds so I decided to make a wooden box for my Christmas tree base. I love how it tuned out!
.
First, ladies, don’t throw any wood away even when your husband says to 😉.
.
Ok, measure the width of the base of your tree. Go grab some old wood or take new wood and make it look old. Cut to size. Take 2x4 short scrap pieces and screw two boards to the end of each of those scrap pieces. You will have 4 of those in each corner for support.
.
My tree was already up so I built it will three sides and attached the last side when I brought it inside. Add a cute old quilt to the inside and there you go. What do you think?

I planted garlic last week and I was excited to see all this pop up this morning. I’ll keep y’all updated as it’s growing. Word on the street says it will be ready to harvest in June.
.
I’m loving my new boots from @hisea_official. I went with the women garden boots. It’s more of a bootie and they are perfect for the garden and even feeding the cows! They are true to size and are so comfortable.
.
They were so generous and gave me a code to give y’all. Enter: Simpleliving at checkout for a nice little discount. 100-year lifetime warranty service & 100% keep dry & warm. Grab you a pair at http://bit.ly/3EL4TYv

I stayed up late last night and finished decorating the tree. Yes, I’m in my pjs and slippers 😂.
.
I found this sweet velvet ribbon and this year I decided to hang these mercury vintage balls with it instead of those metal hangers. It makes the tree look so much prettier, don’t you think?
.
It’s so easy to do. Cut your ribbon to the desired length, run it through the loop of the ornaments, find a sturdy branch and it’s as simple as tying a knot. You can make a bow or leave the sides hanging down like I did.
.
Fun fact: My Noble Fir Christmas tree from @kingofchristmas actually it’s supposed to be in another room but that room wasn’t ready for it haha. So….I’m using this as our main tree this year. I’ll bring back my real tree in the living room next year with all of our special keepsake ornaments. But for now, I’m loving my new tree this year. Happy decorating folks! 🎄❤️🎄

Happy Cyber Monday friends! Hope you’ve been abl

Happy Cyber Monday friends! Hope you’ve been able to get some good deals either for yourself 😉 and for Christmas gifts. I’ve got a bunch of wonderful (mainly small businesses) products linked in my stories I think you’ll like. These are all things I personally use.
.
How was your Thanksgiving? We spent it at our Georgia property and I had very little signal so that’s why you didn’t hear from me any haha.
.
.
It’s always great to get away but it’s also wonderful to be back in your home. I’ve been stringing more dried oranges and it smells amazing in here. I’m still finishing my tree but it was really nice to come home to a clean home and it all decorated for Christmas! Have you already decorated? 🎄❤️🎄

Let us gather with grateful hearts. We have so much to be thankful for and blessed way more than we deserve. 🧡

My daughter made this card years ago when she was little and I treasure it year after year as a reminder of God’s amazing love for us.
.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful day loving on your family and friends. If you know someone who’s alone, go pick them up and bring them to your home. No one should be alone on holidays. Love y’all and eat the darn pie people. Just eat it. Life’s too short. 🦃🧡🍂
