Chicken Boots

We are getting ready to move our chickens outdoors. We have been working on our coop. We decided to enclose a part of our existing 130+ year-old coop for our birds (photos to come).

I decided if I'm going to be cleaning chicken poop, I'm still going to look halfway decent. When I found these plaid rain boots, I knew it would be a fun way to clean chicken poop. Well, maybe not fun. Is there a fun way to clean chicken poop? So far I don't seem to be enjoying it.

It's alot easier to clean it up when they are outside. Plus, you don't have to do it as often. Great boots!

Hey, never doubt the power of cute boots! I got some black and white polka dotted ones with hot pink liners to cheer me up when I'm walking the dog in the rain. Paired with my lime green raincoat, it's QUITE the fashion statement.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
