Motherly boasting
One of these girls started 6th grade this week. Another lost her front tooth and learned to ride a bike without training wheels. Another learned to wash the dishes (and darned well, her mother would like to add). I personally think that n…
Thwat-at-at-at-at-at-at-at-at
What's that sound? That's the sound of FarmWife's belt clearing her belt loops. (Duck!)

White hair stories
The first of three white hair stories: FarmWife came home covered in them. It turns out she has been seeing another equine! This horse—a CCI** eventer with a fancy schmancy brand—actually likes to do things like trot in circles, leg yiel…
My family is shrinking
