Our fearless rooster, André, was killed in the line of duty this week. He fought off a raccoon long enough for us to intervene, but he didn’t make it. Not a single chicken was lost. He was their protector, a hero. He will be sorely missed. My heart is heavy. RIP sweet prince.
Why does everyone refrigerate their butter?? Do you like chipping away at a cold brick every morning, smushing it into your bread, destroying your toasts texture (and dignity)!? Salted butter lasts up to 2 weeks at room temperature. Get a butter dish and stop this nonsense!
Took my daughter to the pool today, a random little boy played with us the whole time. I didn’t think much of it until a woman said “Ma’am? Thank you so much for including him, his sister died yesterday, I brought him here as a distraction while his family makes arrangements”
André was unlike any rooster I have ever encountered. He was kind and selfless. His heart was pure and his soul was truly aristocratic. I am truly humbled by the outpouring of love and respect I have seen from you all today. Thank you ❤️
The Blue-footed Booby is a unique tropical bird. The carotenoid pigments they get through a diet of fresh fish make their feet appear blue in colour. They live around 17 years and have a wingspan of up to 5 feet!
Came home early from work, husband is nowhere to be found.
Turns out he went running through the dark, freezing cold woods in full combat gear because it’s a full moon and now he has “massive chimp energy”? Is this ok?
“You’ll never have time for hobbies once you have a baby”
Hunted most of the morning, came in and baked 8 loaves of sourdough with my baby on my chest, now lounging happily with her as I enjoy a cup of tea. Children are not a burden or a hindrance. Never forget this.
Because they dive from such high heights to such deep depths for food, their skulls have a special kind of air bubble to protect their brains from the immense pressure.

Oh of course, we can’t forget about tits! I love tits almost as much as I love boobies! Here we have the Great Tit and the Eurasian Blue Tit.
I wanted a baby so I could have a little friend to bake and garden with but turns out she’s just like my husband and now I have two people in my home who exist solely to troll me and I can’t leave because I live here
My goal for the day is to make the cookie platter to end all cookie platters. Only the best, most delicious types. None of this dried out, sprinkle covered, vegetable oil nonsense. About to blow my neighbors minds (and tastebuds). Let’s do this 💪
Tits are small birds with stout legs, strong feet, and short, hefty beaks. They are hardy and are often found in forests all over the world. There are 51 species in the family and they range in colors and sizes. Now let’s take a look at some tits!
Been drinking raw egg shakes for breakfast to help with my postpartum recovery and I feel amazing, highly recommend! Throw a frozen banana in there, some cocoa powder, raw honey, organic unsweetened peanut butter, milk, and a bit of Greek yogurt 👌 it’s a real treat 😋
Great tits
The largest of tits. They are well known mimics with a repertoire of up to 40 songs and sounds. They tend to be bullies at feeders and use alarm calls to scare other birds so they can eat in peace. During colder months they have been know to eat small hibernating bats
Coal tits
The smallest of tits. They often carry food away to eat in private, and hide it to create a larder for winter. Problem is, they tend to forget where they put it. The Great Tit is known to capitalize on this forgetfulness and raid their hard earned stash
Eurasian blue tits
The most striking of tits. Their plumage gets brighter with each yearly molt. They are noted for their acrobatics in searching for food upside down on branches and bushes. They can lay up to 19 eggs in a clutch and each baby needs about 100 caterpillars a day!
Bushtits
The only long tailed tit in North America. They weave very unusual hanging nests from moss, spider webs, and grasses. When threatened, the flock will sound a droning trill, making it difficult for predators to determine their precise location.
Last year I delved into sourdough. After a lot of hard work, I now have a thriving starter (named Baldr) and fresh bread weekly. It’s full of nutrients like Protein, Selenium, Folate, Thiamin, Niacin, Iron, and many others. Not convinced? Check out these fun facts
Marsh tits
Small tits. Weighing in at less than .5 oz and only 4.7 inches long. Despite their name, they actually prefers dry forests, parks, and gardens and don’t tend to spend much time in marshes at all.
If you are ever feeling down and just need to see some tits, I have discovered that you can find images of them all over the Internet, what a wonderful world!
Black-capped chickadee
Beloved tits. They are the official state bird of both Massachusetts and Maine, and the official provincial bird of New Brunswick. Known for their distinctive song “chickadee-dee-dee” and their fearlessness, they will sometimes eat right out of your hand
Tufted titmouse
Talented tits. They are one of the few perching birds that can use their feet to hold seeds while breaking them open. They have been observed eating snow in winter, and prefer to nest in holes made by woodpeckers rather than excavating their own
Crested tits
The rarest of tits. They are found only in the ancient pine forests of Inverness and Strathspey in Scotland, rarely venturing outside their preferred habitat. They are hyperactive birds, often appearing restless.
Wandering around I hear the faint murmur of my husband talking to our 2 month old downstairs...
“Look, you need to getting bigger. you need to be gaining weight. you need to be hitting the heavy bag...”
Willow tits
Similar to the Marsh tit, but actually live in marshes. They prefer wet areas and tend to nest low to the ground in rotting wood. They excavate their own nest holes and are very particular about the size, it must always be between 2-3 inches in diameter
Our rooster is approaching his final days. He has served our flock honorably these past few years, but he’s getting weak and his vision is failing. We thought about putting him to sleep; but for now, he just seems to want to feel the sun on his back. Who am I to deny him that?

“I hear they’re still paying $5/oz for vanilla extract and its not even REAL”
DONT LET THIS BE YOU
Making extract is easy. With a small investment, you'll have real, delicious vanilla for the rest of your life.
You may say but why BB? Why is vanilla so important?
LET ME TELL YOU
@paulitee66
I am so sorry to hear this 😢It’s something you can’t quite grasp until it happens to you. André was the same way, loved to be held, great with kids. He was family. Many tears have been shed in our home this week. May your flock stay healthy and safe ❤️
Being pregnant is wild because half the people you tell are really nice/ excited for you and the other half are just really excited to tell you the most horrifying birth stories you’ve ever heard.
After years of eating healthy the only junk food Seeker and I find ourselves craving is Chinese Food. So we decided to make it ourselves! Presenting: General Tso’s chicken on the bone, fried rice w/ local pork belly, & shrimp+fennel egg rolls w/ fresh spring onions and cabbage
Corporations really convinced women that to be “successful” you must exhaust yourself working 40+ hours/week, making someone else rich, for a company that doesn’t care about you.
You could be hanging out all day cuddling babies, making bread, gardening, etc. Never forget this!
STOP using non-stick (Teflon) cookware
The chemicals that make these pans water/oil resistant (PFAS) can cause decreased fertility, liver damage, asthma, immune system disruptions, and increase the risk testicular of kidney and thyroid cancers

Nah, Ive seen attractive guys walk into a room and every girl there starts acting dumber and loudly talking non stop. A normal nice girl can become incredibly obnoxious and annoying when she’s trying to get a guys attention. Almost all of my female friends do this.
*Me trying to cancel our insurance*
Husband in the background shouting “TELL THEM WE HATE THEM! TELL THEM WE’RE ALLERGIC TO LIZARDS!”
Man on the phone who clearly heard every word: “Alright. Well. You guys uhhhh have a good day then...”
A healthy glow
Room to grow
Books to read
Mouths to feed
A house, a home
Space to roam
Love and laughter
Happily ever after
This is what I want for you
Been noticing a lot of similarities between phone addicts and Gollum with the ring
1) Constantly checking to make sure it’s still in their pocket
2) FREAK when its lost
3) Take it out to check it regularly, knowing nothing has changed
4) Cranky when people try to take it away
