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. :-)

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...

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 ...

Geneticist

We went to see the genetic counselor this morning at 10. What we found out was hopeful for now, although we'll have to continue watching to see how thing develop. She said from what the doctors had communicated to her and from the initial results of the fish test (test for the chromosomal defects) and because I have been feeling the baby move every day, right now she thinks the baby may have a condition called Amyoplasia Congenita. This is a condition where the baby develops normally except for the hands and feet which can be corrected through orthopedic treatment, at least to some extent. People with this condition can live normal lives. This is obviously the best news we've had all week and much better than where we were a week ago. However, this isn't a diagnosis. We still need to watch the baby's development and also get the complete results from the chromosomal testing. BUT we are so thankful that today we have good news and something to hope for. For those (like m...
