I have made it a full week on Whole 30. It wasn't that hard. Apparently "tough love" is common in this system, and there's an emphasis on not being that hard. I agree it's really not that hard. I did end up buying the book to see what I had actually got myself into - It's a full explanation of the p[...]
Today I embark upon the whole 30 diet. I was kind of tricked into it, but I decided it seems like a good idea. Two coworkers behind my desk, discussing something. As one turns to leave, she says, "Courtney! You'll do it, too, right?" and I said, "Sure, I'm in!" And then I had to turn around to my[...]
We took another visit to the breeding farm to see the new foals that have been born, and see how the older foals have been developing. Brace yourself for FOAL PHOTOS! (which could be the best kind of photos!) To start, it's probably a good thing there is a legal limit to how many horses I can hav[...]
This last weekend was as action packed as any horse-obsessed person could want. It had all the excitement of a lesson, baby horses, moving hay, and a horse show! I need an extra day off to recover from this madness. Today's topics - Lesson and hay. I was half-heartedly looking at n[...]
A while back, I had baby chicks born. They were adorable, fuzzy little black things. But now they have grown up. The ones Dave picked up from the store have been given to my neighbor, and the fuzzy little black ones were put outside. Unfortunately, one of them did wander away and disappear fore[...]
Gold Cup was over a week ago. But it did happen, so here's the official report. It was a very wet, very muddy day that basically passed in a blur. But a great day with bloggers Emma, D'Arcy, and Shelby! We actually got Emma to come out! We were thrilled that we managed t[...]
If anything could inspire me to have a breeding farm, it would definitely be going to a breeding farm. They are so incredibly cute, I want to be surrounded by foals all the time. I want to lay in the middle of the field and have lots of foals leaning up against me, like a foal pile. When I[...]
I've been wanting a baby (horse) for a while. I discussed it a bit in this post, in which I got some really great feedback. I didn't even have to pay for it, many of you willingly gave it up. No one even billed for their advice. After thinking on it, searching the internet greatly, discussing wit[...]
It's finally that time. I've had at least one request (really, probably just the one) over the years to present a tour of my property. I never did it before because there's really not much to my property. The mystery of not knowing what it looks like is way more intriguing than what it actually look[...]
I don't believe in ghosts. I feel like that's an important point on this entire ghost story. Sure, Paranormal Activity had me jumping at every noise in the night, but that wore off. If I watched it now, I bet I'd have no reaction to it. Especially now that they've made those god-awful sequels. If it[...]
