I hope you have had a great week so far. It still seems like Monday to me because of the holiday yesterday! Did you all make it a wonderful weekend? We had a BBQ up in the canyon yesterday with my husband’s side of the family. We even were able to snap a quick family shot.
(Gotta love my sweet Brayden. We haven’t been able to get a regular smile out of him in years for a picture.)
Isn’t this a fun picture of my daughter with one of my great nieces? We really feel blessed that we finally live by family. We have missed so much!
I’m so excited to share today’s video tutorial with you guys. I absolutely LOVE this technique and haven’t used it in YEARS! It’s super simple and I promise that anyone can do it!

Daily Chicken Update!
I thought I would add this on for those of you who are interested. (Today’s blog post is taking me FOREVER!) I posted a funny little video that my husband and daughter made about my chicken obsession. This was at our family BBQ yesterday. They were supposed to tell a story about our family that had to do with the nature scavenger hunt we just went on. I didn’t know it was going to be about my chickens. How funny they think they are!
But first…. how about some chicken pics!
Check out this perfect egg I got today! 8 eggs already today out of 9 chickens who are laying!
Say hi to Lola! She is a bantam chicken who is ready to start laying itty bitty eggs soon! We don’t know what breed she is.
Meet one of my favorite little girls named Olive. She just likes me to hold her right now. She is about to start laying soon and she is really clingy with me. If I go in their coop to change water or anything, she lightly pecks on the back of my leg to remind me to pay attention to her. She is so funny!!
This is Pepper! She is our only chicken who lays light green eggs. She was the last to lay out of the 9 and I think I freaked out the most with her!
We are having a new run built right now that will fit ALL my chickens, with room for more! They will be able to run and play and be happy chickens all day long!
Here is the roof that will be attached to the covered run. They will have a safe, dry place to hang out when we start to get snow. They are going to love it!

You are fantastic!! I think your little bantam hen is an Old English. There are many different colorings. She looks like my BBRed Old English.
I love your mix of business, family, and chicken photos and stories! Your chickies are going to love their new space!
