Meet the New Pony

With Vintage now gone, my Pony Man was alone. He had moments were he seemed fine, and others were he was very upset. There was no way I was going to leave him by himself, so I weighed my options. I could sell Pony and have no equines on the property. I could bring Stu home, and worry about him jum[...]

New Years Resolution: Upgrade My Style

I've had these kids going on 6 years now, which is quite a long time. Although it really is true what they say, the days are slow but the years are fast. It went by at lightning speed.  In the beginning, my brain was total mush from the lack of sleep, and constant, ever changing needs of the kids.[...]

Taking the Kids to Upperville 2024

I was asked the other day when I was going to start showing Stu. Showing hasn't been on my mind in a long time. There's the first problem, which is that Stu and I are in no way ready to go to a show, with our inconsistent rides. But there's also a significant lack of interest in showing. I don't[...]

What Each of My Horses Cost to Buy

Horses cost money. In fact, horses are well known for costing money, it's basically one of their defining characteristics. Tell someone you have horses, and the first thing they say is, "Oh, must be expensive," or some variation of that.  And then somewhere in the conversation, we mention how[...]

The State of the Blog

It took my mom asking me why I haven't blogged in a while to realize I haven't blogged in a while. Thanks for checking in, Mom! Yes, it has been a while. I'm sorry for the silence. I usually have way more to say.  The short answer of where I've been is: I haven't done much with the horses rece[...]

A Bar of Shampoo

As a nature lover, I believe we have an obligation to take the best care possible of our world. I don't mean this as a political thing, or a debate about climate change. I just love the natural beauty of the world, and I hate seeing it marred by trash and litter. A lot of the trash that exists[...]

10 Month Old Baby

So, wow, I've come to the exciting time of having a mobile baby. She's past the "lay there and look cute" stage, she's got a lengthy agenda of things to do, and no time to just sit around. She is constantly on the move. She just learned to crawl. As in, yesterday. She was taking little bitty crawl[...]

2020 Goals

Has it really been 1, 5, or 10 years already? If not, disregard this and get back to work.  But if it has, wow, time sure does fly. Minutes ago I was pregnant, and seconds ago a baby was pulled out of me, but now that baby is almost a year old. I'm learning more and more that there just isn't[...]

Christmas at the Bay

We spent another holiday at the beach. This seems to be becoming a trend. I'm practicing my landscape photography and collected quite a few photos. Here are my favorites.  Feels like going to summer camp! If only the horses could go... but the HOA says no horses. She[...]

Not Very Good Cupcakes

I discovered that I'm pretty terrible at making cupcakes. I just assumed it was a natural trait but no, it isn't. I made some, and they were awful. I started out ambitious. I was going to make cupcakes for a friend's party, but I would make them horse themed. I looked up horse themed cupcakes, and[...]
