<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the last couple months I have been saving every toilet paper roll. I've been trying to save things I know I could re-purpose. I had abut 20 rolls.</div>

This morning, while in the shed getting treats for the girls I noticed a new mess on the shelf. Right away I knew the mice have been having a feast on my dime. The mealworms aren't cheap. They are $25 per bag. I was mad.</div>

I cleaned up all the messes and made sure there was no packages and that everything was in some sort of container. I also swept the shed out real good.</div>

I saw someone selling mealworms on Craigslist. I'd been thinking for some time about getting some and starting my own colony. I spend a lot of money on dried mealworms for my four girls. (backyard chickens)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week, I got them. I paid $5.00 for 500 mealworms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put the cornmeal in the bottom for the worms bedding. I also cut up some cardboard and a carrot and threw it in there. Then I added the mealworms.</div>

I added a potato a few days ago. They seem to be doing great. The mealworms sound funny when you listen to them. It's like rice krispies in a bowl. Snap, crackle, pop. haha I have the bin covered so it stays nice and dark for them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mix the sugars and butter until fluffy with a hand mixer. Add egg and mix. Then mix in the water and vanilla. Set bowl aside. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda with a fork. Using your hand mixer, slowly add the dry mix into the wet until combined. Mix in chocolate chips. Scoop dollops of cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake on 350 for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Once done let sit on cookie sheet for about 2 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack. Store in tupperware with a piece of bread to keep them soft.</div>

For those who don't know...This is Amelia my pretty gold laced wyandotte chicken. Look at her cute little face. <img alt="🙂" class="emoji" draggable="false" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.2.1/svg/1f642.svg" style="background: none !important; border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; box-sizing: inherit; display: inline !important; height: 1em !important; margin: 0px 0.07em !important; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: -0.1em !important; width: 1em !important;" /> I took this picture before work one morning a few weeks ago. I gave her a quick health check and set her on top of her swing set. She just sat there and the sun was beaming down on her and she just looked beautiful. She’s such a sweet and kind chicken. Isn’t she gorgeous?</div>

I also tried a brownie that was made with beans. What?

You can add two drops of peppermint essential oil if you’d like. If you want you could use a gluten free box or the immaculate brand of brownie mix because it has less sugar, etc. Or in your homemade brownie mix you can use Gluten Free flour instead of regular flour. </span>The black beans take place of the liquids and egg used).</div>

I’d never even heard of this place but apparently it’s really popular. They’ve been on 3 seasons of Cupcake Wars, The View, USA Today, MTV and others. I will tell you this cupcakery is awesome! The cupcakes are perfect and the homemade ice cream is delicious. Next time, you’re in Richmond (RVA) then you have to stop in here. You will not be disappointed.</span></div>

She lives in Florida with my Aunt Betty and Uncle Mike. Grandma is my dads Mom. She's my last Grandma on this earth. I’d gotten my Grandma some Alan Jackson stuff from work because I know she’s his biggest fan. She turned the t-shirt into a pillow by doing a baste stitch. Here’s a picture of her with the pillow. Isn’t she cute? She loves sitting on her bed with her pillow, dog and watches The Price is Right. :)</span>Bonzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03911934887270474784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713646072847042534.post-55497880396909483682017-01-22T21:20:00.003-05:002017-01-22T21:20:55.424-05:00Amelia Laid Her First Egg!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

October 26th finally came. That's the day my husband and I drove down to Richmond to pick up our new little kitty son from the airport. He flew in from Michigan. He was 12 weeks old. We got him from a <a href="http://halimaturkishvancat.com/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #aa0000; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;">cattery</a>. He’s a full bred- <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Van" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #aa0000; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;">Turkish Van</a> cat.</div>

His name is Tyrion. Yes, just like the character on ‘Game of Thrones’. We let Tyrion out of his carrier in the car so we could snuggle with him for a few minutes before heading home.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #121212; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">We were finally ready after 2 years to bring home another fur baby. Some people might think why did we buy a kitten from a cattery and not the shelter. I did go to a shelter but I didn't fall in love with any of the cats. My husband and I talked it over and we decided we wanted a little kitten and a Turkish Van pure bred. Tyrion was worth every penny. We love him so much. He has made us both so happy and we wouldn't trade him in the world for anything.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #121212; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">October 22nd was my 16th Wedding Anniversary. In 2015, my husband surprised me with a Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony. It was epic. Of course, I didn’t expect anything like that. He did surprise me with a dozen majestic red roses though. They are so pretty and after they dried up I put them in the chicken coop for the girls. </span><img alt="🙂" class="emoji" data-pin-nopin="true" draggable="false" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.2.1/svg/1f642.svg" style="background-attachment: initial !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-color: white; background-image: none !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-position: initial !important; background-repeat: initial !important; background-size: initial !important; border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; display: inline !important; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; height: 1em !important; margin: 0px 0.07em !important; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: -0.1em !important; width: 1em !important;" />Bonzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03911934887270474784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713646072847042534.post-80481109975373938582017-01-22T20:54:00.003-05:002017-01-22T21:14:17.711-05:009th Annual Healing Hearts Memory Walk to Remember<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My BFF and I made some homemade tomato sauce with a bunch of tomatoes I had just sitting on my counter. All of them were from my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box.</div>

The tomatoes I had didn’t make much sauce because I didn’t have that many tomatoes to make a huge batch. <a href="http://www.littlehouseliving.com/spaghetti-sauce-from-scratch.html" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #aa0000; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;"> This is the recipe we used for the sauce</a>.
