Trying to Become a Blogging Millionaire

Haha! Not really, but I did start a blog site about different craft projects, cooking experiments, home improvements, etc. So far I've done two blogs and have had 20 hits without even promoting it in any way, so I think that's actually not to bad. I'm no Martha Stewart but my hope is that people will appreciate a blog about crafting, cooking, and home decor that encourages them to experiment, have fun, be creative, and not worry about being perfect, but instead to concentrate on creating something that they really love and enjoy because it has meaning to them. Anyway, I thought that y'all might be interested to check it out and see what I've been up too. I have at least two more posts lined out in my mind. I have no marketing sense or perception about presentation online so if y'all have feedback about that, I'd really appreciate it. Here's the link to the blog: http://geekyhomeschoolenglishnerd.blogspot.com/.

P.S. I'm starting an Etsy shop too. Check it out. http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpringPeaches?ref=si_shop

I figured I might as well try to make a little money off doing some things I enjoy. May come to nothing but that is okay. You've got to try before you really know if you'll fail.  Plus, I figure with 7 students between two classes this semester with the strong possibility of one class being cancelled, I may have some time on my hands.

I'm no blogging expert, but I have a couple of suggestions. You might put a subtitle on there that says what your blog is about (for instance,"simple crafts," or whatever you want). The other is lots of step-by-step pictures. Good luck! I have a few blogs. I don't do any of them for money though and they are not wildly popular so...take it as you want. :-)

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

We Need Your Prayers

Many of you have probably heard all ready, but Aaron and I got some devastating news today. Our baby will probably not survive outside the womb. They did an amneostasis this afternoon to test for chromasomal defects, which is what they think it is right now. I know I am spelling everything wrong so I hope what I write makes enough sense for everyone to understand what is going on. The specialist we went to see feels that it is triploidy or triamias 18. Those may not be the right names but they are two of the three chromasomal defects. The other is down's syndrome. He did not feel that it was down's. The other two defects are fatal so if we carry the baby to term it will not live but for a few days or hours if one of the defects above is the problem. We will know in 2days. If it is not one of those then we will have to go to a cardiologist and a genetic counselor. The baby had clubbed hands and feel and it's heart is not formed correctly and is not in the right place. Becau...
