a new day !!!

Good Morning everyone!!!!  Today is a slow morning for me, although most of my mornings are! Today I have alot to do. Clean up chores for everyone, then some learning for the kids,plant the blueberries, & get some bunny food & liter.My girls are doing so well on their learning. My oldest is way ahead in her reading! She's in the 1st grade area. The blueberries I have looked up info for planting & I'm going to get peat moss & organic soil & throw in some cottenseed meal.I'm planting in containers. We have dirt from the garden but I went out yesterday & found that every cat in the neighborhood is using it as their toilet, so I'm a little grossed out. I had it covered but that sure didn't work! Anyone know of a way to keep cats out of the garden? We've been struggling with them ever since we moved here. We have two bunnies. A black male that was given to us because no one wanted him. He is such a sweetie. We don't know what kind he is though,he's very small. He was suppose to be a she ,thats what I was told, & was not able to check because he was to scared to be picked up. So I found another female that in my eyes needed to be rescued ,shes a satin & now weighs 10 pnds,& well let me put it this way we found out the hard way when we let them meet each other that he really was a he!! So one day I would like to get him fixed so they can play together. Well I need to go do my stuff. bye

HI EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi !!!!!! I'm CB ,a 26 yr young mama to 2 beautiful little girls 4 & 6 yrs. We homeschool & try to live as natural & gently as possible!I have been a vegetarian for 5 1/2 yrs.,my kids their whole lifes. So if you know any really great veg recipes send them my way!! We try to be as natural & simple as possible,  we eat very healthly I make all our food from scratch & very rarely by any bag or can food. Every week I make a food list & menu so that I buy only what we need.We grow a small garden & I just got some blueberry plants.Does anyone have info on growing those? We don't have land yet but that is our goal! I'm trying to find a way I can help my husband with making a little extra money as things are always tight in that area,so we can save up. I would like to sell homemade items. I like to knit & sew & so do my girls! We live in a small town surrounded by forest but we are right in the middle of town in a small 2 bedroom house with a yard full of blackberry bushes.YUM!!!Well thats all for now. I'm glad I found this place!!
