Very, very long time readers will remember that once upon a time, I had chickens. They were mentioned a lot, I even wrote down the history of their colony, admittedly, I did exaggerate slightly. Reading over that again, I really have no idea why I wrote that, but what's done is done. Chickens a[...]
Over 10 years after I bought a pony to teach my future children how to ride, he is finally teaching my first child. To be fair to him, I bought him as a yearling, and he was in no way ready to be ridden by children. He needed years to grow up, go through training, put on his big pony pan[...]
My riding has been going really good recently (with the exception of my recent fall, but if anything, it made me work harder, better, faster.) Stu and I can now make some pretty sweet circles, which might not sound like much but it's a pretty big accomplishment for a horse that previously had the t[...]
Although the above picture isn't actually the twins, even if they look more alike than the actual twins. David and Alex, the actual twins, aren't twinning so well, but they are growing up into little boys! They aren't just babies anymore! They both walk and mutter little spells as they wander aroun[...]
So you've decided you want a human baby. This could be a good decision, human babies can be useful for many things, including overbearing, unconditional and unstoppable love, much like a dog, but without the ability to leave them in the house to go out. As an equestrian, the process of acquiring a[...]
Everyone warned me this would happen. After the usual pleasantries were exchanged, they would make a comment about how I had my hands full. And then followed by, "Just wait until they are crawling!" Twins that are potat[...]
It's been a while now since I gave birth. Ages, even. Centuries. I am now 100 years old. Just kidding, it's been about 9 months. They have now been out of me the same amount of time they were in me. It feels like[...]
When I was in my 20's, I didn't want kids. I liked kids, for the most part, but I knew they take up a lot of time. I didn't want to spend time doing what kids wanted to do, I wanted to spend time doing what I wanted to do. I wanted to ride horses, have fun, explore, sleep in, or stay up all night.[...]
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. My hair starts to look pretty ratty and gross if I go longer than a year without a hai[...]
Once again, time moves so fast, I can't even believe it. I felt like I had just written that post about Stu, but turns out, it's been nearly a month. How is that even possible? So what's been happening in the last month... well, nearly nothing horse related. I think if I stuck to only talking about[...]
