Free Easter Printables

Our Little Monkeys is offering a Free download HERE for tots. You have to sign up for an account, but there is no cost. I just love to snag free Preschool activities like this and make them into Activity Bags for my youngest kids! It gives them more variety in their daily activities and reinforces what they are learning!

Here's an Easter Printable for First Graders that is Free. Click HERE for this math printable. It seems like there are a lot of freebies out there for preschoolers, but with a 2nd Grader in the house, I'm always looking to give him appropriate activities too.

Another great homeschool activity books are Lapbooks. I found this Resurrection Lapbook HERE.

I am using a combination of these to put together Lapbooks for both of my kids. I will post a picture soon of how they work out for us. I'm actually using a combination, so that I can cater to the abilities of my kids that are 2 years apart.

DIY Pig Feeder

This is our second year of raising pigs for the fair. We've had some bumps along the way, one of them was our homemade feeder of last year. I tend to have ideas, and then Mr. Right gets the pleasure of trying to execute my ideas. Most of the time it works out, but last year, our feeder was a fail. This year, we need a feeder that can go a long period of time, since our pigs are not on our property where we live. Our neighbor made a complaint about the smell of the pigs last year to our landlord, so the landlord told us no more pigs. (Keep in mind, there are only 2 pigs on 6 acres and they are only here for 5 months and then go to the 4-H fair and livestock auction) Thankfully, another neighbor graciously allowed us to pen up a corner of her horse pen, to put our pigs in. This year, I wanted to be sure that Mr. Right did a quality version of the pig feeder that would make it through the entire five months, and hopefully...

Local Harvest

I am so surprised at the amount of people who don't take advantage of local farmers and produce! We heard about a place called "Tomato Toms" and just had to check it out. (Especially since it seems nearly impossible to grow tomatoes in our town. I think it's something about the elevation) We took a Sunday afternoon to drive to explore local produce and find Tomato Tom. This drive, I thought for sure that no one could be possibly growing anything on such dry land (see the background to the first picture, below). Then we drove up a scary driveway and look what we found: Tomato Toms was a fantastic sizable garden of u-pick heaven! We picked 60 pounds of tomatoes in 10 minutes. Then took about twenty more minutes to figure out just what onions and peppers we needed to go with our tomatoes. The tomatoes weren't store perfect, as in no blemishes or anything, but they were beautiful and tasted wonderful off the vine! I don't normally ...
