Essential oils for traveling!

One little thing you can bring with you on your next trip can be essential oils! Below I have picked out 5 of the best oils for traveling.
● Lavender- Lavender is mostly used for calming purposes, but you can use it to calm irritated skin. At night time, before bed you can apply the oil  to the bottoms of your feet or your pillow.
●Lemon- Lemon is one of my favorite oils. It's has so many uses and is a great one for the car because of its uplifting and posotive scent. Firstly it can be added to olive oil to make a furniture polish. Next, it can remove greasy substances, gum and  sticky label pieces from fabric. Then you could add a drop or two to your water, diffuse it into the air, and even clean your counters!
●Peppermint- Peppermint is a strong oil, but very useful. Put one drop of peppermint and one drop of lemon into your water to make a mouthwash. Add to your shampoo for a potent shampoo. It also could help you get rid of your headache when you diffuse it.
●Ginger- This oil is very useful on road trips. It can cure nausa or indesgetion when taken internally. To take internally you could add one drop to your water or tea, or put 1 to 2 drops into a vegetable capsule.
●Thieves- Thieves is an antibacterial oil that can killl germs. Simply put a few drops into a spray bottle with water and spray on the surface you wish to disenfect. Or put a couple drops onto a cloth to disinfect a object like a shopping cart.

Random projects!

I don't have any pictures to post right now, so I'll just tell you about some random projects we are doing!  Me and Scotty are thinking of names to name our chickens. He's thinking about some like "Chickn Licken Jr", " Drumstick" and " Wobbles". I really don't know what to name mine, but I'm thinking!  Our house is beautiful but it needs a bit of updating. We are replacing the toilets, sink spigot and spouts, painting the cabinets and replacing the handles, fixing lights and a ton more. It's all really fun work! I personally are getting used to windows with no screens. A lot of the bugs that fly inside don't bug me at all, I just shoo them into my brother's room 🤣 But it really isn't pleasant when your brother shoos the hugest moth in the world into your room and it starts to fly in your face as your trying to go to bed. But we got that situated and the moths went back outside.  Dad has been working hard in his barn and...

Easter

On Easter we had a few of our friends over for dinner and an egg hunt. Since our yards are so big the parents hid 100 eggs for the kids and us kids hid about 50 for the parents beer hunt. We had a few golden eggs with prize baskets and a super big egg with a mystery surprise (5 cans of silly string).  And of course we hid them as hard as we could with the only rule of no burying them. Though im sure theres some more still out there, we keep finding them.😅 Happy Easter!

The pigs

Yesterday we picked up 2 piglets from a farm a few hours away, brought them home, and put them into the training pen.  At first they were a little scared, but it only took them about ten minutes to get used to it and Scotty started feeding them out of his hand. They are friendly, but they do bite occasionally.  Tomorrow were getting our last one, but that one is going to be more of a pet. These two... 🥓.
