You’re the Star – December FAMILY Week

Posted on December 10, 2018December 9, 2018 by ebigley

Welcome! We’ve been a bit under the weather here this week. A virus has slowly but surely been making its way around the house. All the children have had it, and now it’s my turn! Lizard also had a birthday, and found a new and rather dramatic way to fulfill the “Bigley Birthday Curse”. I always joke that everyone gets sick every year for their birthdays (all the kids’ birthdays are from October to March, so it’s just the way things are). But this year, Lizard took it to a whole new level. Not only was she sick, but she also managed to get a bone infection in her jaw. Her poor little face swelled up, it was very worrisome. She spent her birthday at the hospital getting antibiotic injections and CT scans. Fortunately, it all worked, and she’s back home, and getting back to her sweet little self.

Now, pull up a chair and get ready to link up your posts, and make some new friends!

You’re the Star – December CREATIVE Week

Posted on December 3, 2018December 2, 2018 by ebigley

Welcome! It’s the first week of Advent, and we have just started our preparations here around the farm. We put up our lights and had cookies and kid-friendly eggnog for the first lighting yesterday evening. It’s one of our family traditions. My husband and the kids put the lights up on the front of the house, then they come inside and help me make Christmas cookies. Then, after dark, we all get a couple cookies and a small cup of eggnog, and walk to the other side of our pond while my husband turns on the lights for the first time. Then we sing carols on the driveway for a few minutes (usually until the kids get cold, which can sometimes take a while in Texas 🙂 ). The lights reflect off the water in the pond, and it’s really beautiful. Fun family memories!

I hope the beginning of this season finds you well! It’s time to pull up a chair, link up those posts, and make a few new friends!

Posted on November 12, 2018November 11, 2018 by ebigley

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here! I hope you take a few minutes to look around, visit a few posts and make some new friends!

We’re in the middle of our very first cold snap down here in Texas. It’s been so rainy here that I hadn’t been able to get out the kids’ winter things yet…so guess what we did all weekend! Yep, we sorted through clothes. Now, if it will just stop raining long enough to get the boxes with all the summer things back out to the shed (instead of stacked up in the living room), we’ll be sittin’ pretty!

You’re the Star – November GARDEN Week

Posted on November 5, 2018 by ebigley

Happy Monday everyone! I hope the time change is treating you well. I’m going to be brief today, since the internet access here at the farm is a bit spotty this weekend. I’m posting from my phone while sitting in a single spot next to the garden that still gets a signal! Hopefully it will be better soon. For now, I leave you with our lovely link up!

Posted on October 29, 2018October 28, 2018 by ebigley

Hello, and welcome! I hope this week finds you well. We’re trying to find hay here on the farm this week…we have been since the summer. First it was too dry, and no one had any. Now, it’s too wet! If we don’t find any soon, we may have to sell our cattle. It sure is nice to have a few days of sunshine in the forecast this week, though. I hope you stick around, take a look around, link up your posts, and make some new friends!

You’re the Star – October HOME Week

Posted on October 22, 2018October 21, 2018 by ebigley

Well, what a difference a couple months make! We’ve gone from drought to floods in just a short month and a half here in our little corner of Texas. As I sit here typing this, we’re having a brief day filled with sun…but it’s back to rain for tomorrow. So, I’m going to make this brief, and get out and enjoy it while it lasts! I hope you’re staying dry where you are!

You’re the Star – October FAMILY Week

Posted on October 15, 2018October 14, 2018 by ebigley

Oh, what a weekend! We got nearly 6 inches of rain here on Saturday night, and of course, the house started flooding again…along with the garage (with the baby chicks inside…but no worries, everyone came through safely!). Luckily, I caught it in time and was able to keep the water damage to a minimum in the boys’ room. Someday, we’ll have a house that keeps the rain out! Ha! Well, I hope this week finds you dry and well. Take a few minutes to look around, read some great posts, and make some new friends!
