When is it Time to Move to a New Barn?

I was working one day, taking photos are a client's barn when it dawned on me that the client's barn had children's toys by the arena. There were tables set up for children to eat. In fact, that barn had literal children scattered on the property, an entire children's riding program. My current bar[...]

My life seems complicated enough as it is, and then add that I have three horses spread out on two different properties, all the expense of keeping them, all the time spent caring for them, and all the frustration they add into my life, it jus[...]

Making Money as a Stay At Home Mom

Being at home with the kids has its ups and down, but mostly I enjoy being with the kids. I wanted to be the one who raised them, I didn't want someone else taking care of them, seeing their firsts, or teaching them the[...]

A Day at the Farm

Before children, I took for granted being able to get my hair cut. Now, wow, what a luxury. I actually hate getting my hair done, it takes too long and I nearly always don't like the results, but it is necessary.

Reminiscing…

I've been cleaning out my house a lot recently. I've discovered the easiest way to keep baby safe, and to have a clean house, is to just get rid of as much as I possibly can. Plus, I really crave a no-clutter look. I didn't use to be like this, but now I can't stand having a cluttered house, or a d[...]

Xenophon on Caring for Horses

At this point, I'm convinced that On Horsemanship was Pony Club Manual of ancient times, minus the ratings. Maybe there's an extended director's cut version by Xenophon that also includes ratings. We can only hope.  After selecting your horse, Xenophon describes the best way to care for it. Sp[...]
