Well here I am on the family farm with chickens, children, dogs, ducks, rabbits, and goats and I'm loving it (mostly.)
I enjoy photography (contact me to order prints), my family, and farm.Karlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02081189871476895948noreply@blogger.comBlogger133125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093452676801033316.post-5138438079882616532016-09-12T12:26:00.001-07:002016-09-12T12:26:15.724-07:00Return to Photography and Howe Caverns<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
A new product arrived in the mail and I'm excited to try it out! It's <a href="http://www.seabuck.com/" target="_blank">SeaBuck Complete</a> and it is a health supplement for horses. <br />
<br />
I know I've mentioned before that I'm a big believer in supplements for my family and my animals. I can't wait to start our horse on this one. In fact, after reading the health benefits that come from this little berry, I'm looking into the human version as well.<br />
<br />
SeaBuck is a liquid supplement so it's easy to add it right in the daily grain. It's made from sea buckthorn berries and seeds which have been used as a health supplement for thousands of years by humans. Sea buckthorn is full of antioxidants, carotenoids, healthy oils (Omega 3,6, 7 and 9 fatty acids), and contains more than 190 biologically active compounds.<br />
<br />
SeaBuck is good for digestive health, skin and coat, performance, and joint mobility. As I use this product, I'll be sharing my personal experience.<br />
<br />
What do you use as a supplement?<br />
<br />
<br />
Some of the information above is from the SeaBuck <a href="https://www.seabuck.com/articles.asp?ID=158" target="_blank">website</a> and <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/04/11/sea-buckthorn-oil-is-this-nutritional-supplement-for/" target="_blank">this article</a> by Chris Kilham<br />
<br />
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using <a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=BOTTOM97b9e4b6e11bfc7f54b2c9de25276ce5" rel="nofollow">Tomoson.com</a>. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.Karlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02081189871476895948noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093452676801033316.post-36414356271499929632013-09-11T17:56:00.002-07:002013-09-11T17:56:31.773-07:00Vanessa MI wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and I hope you continue to heal and feel better!

This was our first time using our new awning at a horse show. We loved being able to have a shady place to sit during the long, hot, sunny day. We were also amused to discover that our horse, Bell, loved the awning and would get under it with us while resting between classes. It was nice that she was also able to enjoy the shade with us.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bell was such a good girl all day. Win or lose (there was some of both) we had a great day!</div>

Garzon - Book Review<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPce5f0f5f2378b485b7cc5d10c59fe1e6" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
<i>Look Twice</i> by <a href="http://www.mgarzon.ca/" target="_blank">M. Garzon</a> is the sequel to the book <i>Blaze of Glory</i>. While I haven't read the first book, I found that <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Look-Twice-Blaze-Glory-ebook/dp/B00A571UKC/" target="_blank">Look Twice </a></i>can stand on its own as a novel. <br />
<br />
One aspect of the book revolves around the main character, Tea, and her romance with Jaden. It's intriguing because their relationship has caused an issue with their families. I don't think that I've read about a romance with this angle before and it made me think about how I viewed the issue. I don't want to give any spoilers though.<br />
<br />
There is also discussion of blended families and the hope and anticipation as Tea and Seth, her twin brother, try to find their birth father.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed that the book was set in the horse world, since we love horses (especially <a href="http://workschoolkids.blogspot.com/2013/05/wordless-wednesday-horses-are-good-for.html" target="_blank">our Bell</a>). Much of the action took place with backgrounds of barns, polo fields, competitions, and training. It was very realistic and showed a love of horses.<br />
<br />
I found the book to be well written and well edited. It's incredibly distracting to read a book with editing and grammar errors. I'm happy to report that I didn't notice any problems.<br />
<br />
The book is intended for older teens and women. I agree with that assessment. There weren't any graphic scenes in the book but it is clear that there is a sexual relationship between characters. I wouldn't allow my 12 year old to read it, but I would be comfortable with my 19 year old reading it. <br />
<br />
Overall, I enjoyed Look Twice very much and I'd like to go back and read the original book as well.<br />
<br />
Here is what the back cover says:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Blood is thicker than water. I didn't understand that expression when I was a kid. I only knew that I was closer to my brother Seth than to anyone else in the world. He was the calm to my storm, the light to my dark. We were tied to the rest of our complicated family by bonds beyond blood—love, loyalty, convenience—but as it turns out, the pull of blood is strong. Maybe even strong enough to tear me away from the person with whom I shared my very first breath.</blockquote>

It was fun to stay in such a unique place and the manager was very friendly and helpful. The caboose wasn't luxurious but it was clean and an adventure to stay in.</div>

I received the imPRESS Press-On Manicure in my Spring VoxBox from Influenster. I decided to try them on my daughter who has very short nails. Wow, they look so cute on her! She was so pleased with how pretty her fingers looked and with the fun pattern of the nails.</div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br /></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
Application was very easy. We used the included prep pad to wipe down her nails. Then after picking the correct sizes, we simply peeled the backing off and stuck each one on.</div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br /></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.</div>

She has short hair and likes to try new products like waxes, creams, hair sprays, etc. She had never used a powder like this and she didn't think that it would be effective.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She was delighted to find out she was wrong! She absolutely loved the volume and styleability (new word!) of her hair using Dust It. She said that it would normally take three or four products to get the same effect that she got with only this one. Her hair looks great in the picture but was even better in person.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dust It has a very fine powder consistency and I did not notice any scent at all. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We can happily recommend this product. <br />

The <a href="http://www.nysfob.com/" target="_blank">New York State Festival of Balloons</a> was held in Dansville, NY. We all had a great time, even my 10 year old son who was sure it was going to be boring! <br />
<br />
There were a lot of booths and vendors and we had a fun time exploring while we waited for the balloon launch. One cool spot was the Pan for Gold booth. The kids were given a bucket of sand with little treasures in it, which they then wash out in a sieve. The shark's tooth necklace they each found was a hit with both of them!<br />
<br />
Another unique spot was the Game trailer. They had TV screens and game consoles set up and you could rent screen time for different lengths of time. For a boy with Asperger's on a very hot, sunny, dusty day... it was an awesome break to help him get through the day. I was thrilled (as was he)!<br />
<br />
When the time came, we set up our lawn chairs to watch the balloons launch. It was an awe inspiring sight!<br />

Review and Giveaway<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP322e536fcf70679cc8aa29cc39e61c5d" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/main/pixel.png" /></a>
<br />
I'm very excited! This is the first year I will be renting a timeshare for my vacation. In the past I've always stayed at hotels. My sister was talking about a vacation that she has coming up where she will be sharing a place with some other couples and I was intrigued. When the time came to plan our vacation, I decided to look in to the possibility.<br />
<br />
I found that, while prices vary, there are many affordable options for a family on a budget (like us). Some of the ways that I found to save money with a timeshare rental are:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Making meals</b> - Most timeshares have a full sized fully equipped kitchen where we can prepare many of our own meals. For our family of five it is a HUGE money saver to not have to eat 3 meals a day at restaurants!</li>
<li><b>Sharing</b> - Most timeshares have multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces which makes convenient and economical (and fun) to share the home with good friends or family.</li>
<li><b>Activities</b> - Many timeshares are resorts or condos with amenities like pools, free wi-fi, game rooms, exercise rooms, private beaches, and more included for no extra fee.</li>
<li><b>Affordability</b> - Many timeshares are available for less than the price of a hotel room</li>
</ul>
So, because this was going on<i> </i>I was intrigued when I was offered the opportunity to receive a free subscription to RedWeek for a year and an additional two year subscription to give away to one of my readers!<br />
<br />
One of the first things I noticed on their website is that in the middle of the page they list the Top Destinations for <a href="http://www.redweek.com/" target="_blank">Timeshare Rentals</a>. There are some great deals in some amazing locations!<br />
<br />
Then I used the green Find a Timeshare tab in the upper left corner. You can choose by location using the map or by feature (such as kid-friendly, beaches, theme parks) along the right sidebar. One of the locations that I immediately checked out was Virginia Beach. I found a bunch of great places right away with reviews so that I can see if it sounds like a good fit for my family.<br />
<br />
My favorite find is a timeshare in a <a href="http://www.redweek.com/resort/P5865-bahia-turquesa-residences" target="_blank">Costa Rican resor</a>t for just $107 a night. I've been to Costa Rica a couple of times on business and I would love to take my husband there to experience what a beautiful country it is.<br />
<br />
You can learn a lot about RedWeek and how it works by clicking on the green Resource tab at the top of the site.<br />
<br />
On to the giveaway!

Would you like to see a well that is about 180 years old? I know that I was pretty excited to see it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This well would have been dug back in 1832 or 1833 when the original house was built on our land. As long as we have lived here it's had a cover on it made of plywood and tin. We gave it a wide berth and had no problems. My husband decided to check on it and discovered that the plywood was rotted and needed to be replaced. We were all interested to find out what had been hiding under the ground all of these years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's what we found. Stones that were fitted together so well that they have stood the test of time. There is 8 feet of water and then 4 feet visible for a total depth of 12 feet. While I certainly don't yearn for a time before running water, I can't help but imagine people from over a hundred years ago performing the daily chore of fetching water from our well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My husband made an extremely sturdy (and attractive) new cover for the well. It'll probably last another 180 years. I told him that it will be my own personal deck where I will drink iced tea and watch the chickens peck in the yard.</div>

<br />
I'm a big believer in probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes. I make sure my family gets plenty of all of these things. But I didn't think of my dog needing them too. I was pleased to learn about this product and get a chance to try prebiotics and <a href="http://www.probioticsmart.com/pets/pscpets-daily-enzymes-and-prebiotics.html" target="_blank">enzymes for dogs</a>. Emily is a rescued Jack Russell Terrier and she has brought us a lot of happiness.<br />
<br />
The first thing I checked was to see where it was made, and the bottle indicates it was made in the US. That's a big plus right there. I always check that for food and treats for my dog.<br />
<br />
Then the taste test was important to see how these would go over in our house. My dog Emily LOVES them. When this jar comes out, she forgets how to "sit" and just dances around trying to get one. Very cute! So that's another big hurdle that it passed.<br />
<br />
As a plus for me, the chews have a mild and not unpleasant scent. I hate opening a container of soft chews that have a strong awful order. Yay!<br />
<br />
Looking at the ingredients, it shows the first two are Dried Poultry Liver and Molasses. Both are healthy for her and tasty! It also includes inulin, ginger, protease, cellulase, lipase, and alpha-amylase which assist with digestion and use of nutrients. It contains calcium carbonate which is a calcium supplement helpful in maintaining bone strength. I was interested to read that alpha-amylase can help dogs maintain a healthy weight by reducing the amount of carbohydrates that are stored as fat.<br />
<br />
One thing I've noticed after just a week is that she is having less gas and her digestion seems to have improved.<br />
<br />
The full name of the product is <a href="http://www.probioticsmart.com/pets/pscpets-daily-enzymes-and-prebiotics.html">PSCPets Daily Enzymes and Prebiotics</a> and it's available at <a href="http://www.probioticsmart.com/">Probioticsmart.com</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Murray McMurray Hatchery's Chickens in Five Minutes a Day: Raising, Tending and Getting Eggs from a Small Backyard Flock Made Easy</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">by Farmers at Murray McMurray Hatchery</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">176 pages</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was thrilled to receive an advanced copy of </span><span style="text-align: right;">Chickens in Five Minutes a Day to review and giveaway. I've been raising chickens for seven years and I still love to read about chickens and how to care for them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: right;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: right;">This book is meant for those getting ready to start raising chickens for egg production. The idea is to set things up in such a way that in general the chicken chores can be cared for in five minutes a day. However, as the book points out you'll probably spend quite a bit more time enjoying watching them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: right;">I found the book to be easy to read. It wasn't dry or boring. The illustrations are both cute and informative. I was impressed with how thorough the book was and I wish I had it before I started raising chickens! </span><span style="text-align: right;">There were many important points that I thought the book needed to make and they hit on all of them (e.g., what NOT to feed chickens, checking for pasting up, etc).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: right;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: right;">I also learned some interesting facts about hatcheries and the history of Murray McMurray Hatchery in particular.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: right;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I found that in the few cases where I disagreed with the book it was simply a difference of opinion rather than any lack in the book. For example, the book suggests to add sugar to the chicks water and I chose not to. </div>

<br />
I was glad to see the book recommend the use of diatomaceous earth as a natural way to reduce parasites in the flock. However, I would have liked to see them warn against using the kind that is sold for pool filters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I highly recommend this book for those who are looking into or planning on raising chickens for egg production. It's an excellent place to start. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were inspired to make My Little Pony rainbow cupcakes by Ro at Nerdy Nummies. See her video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdeMkg_5m9w">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We used the Pillsbury Moist Supreme cake mix following the directions for the egg white only recipe. Leaving out the yolks allowed the colors of the batter to be more vibrant. Especially since our "home grown" eggs have such bright yellow yolks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we split the batter into six bowls and colored each one with food coloring. About one half spoonful of each color went into each cupcake wrapper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After baking and cooling it was time to decorate. See below for the results as well as the MLP cutie marks created by my 10 year old son.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Here's what we had for dinner tonight. The orzo salad is very tasty. I also served it with a Greek picnic that I had last Summer. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">It was very fast and easy to put together. I'm still feeling under the weather from the flu so it was a group effort. My daughter (12) chopped the vegetables and my husband grilled the shrimp.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Ingredients:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">3/4 pound orzo, cooked al dente</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">1 large cucumber, seeded, quartered lengthwise, and sliced</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">3 green onions, thinly sliced</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">1 pint grape tomatoes, halved</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, plus extra for garnish</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">1/4 cup white wine vinegar</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">3 tablespoons Dijon mustard</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">1/2 cup olive oil, plus additional for brushing shrimp</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Salt and freshly ground pepper</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">3/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">16 medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Directions:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Combine orzo, cucumber, green onions, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Place dill, vinegar, and mustard in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the vinaigrette over the orzo mixture and stir well to combine. Gently fold in the feta cheese.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Heat grill to high. Brush shrimp with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for approximately 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Divide orzo salad among 4 take-out containers or plates and top with 4 shrimp. Garnish with additional dill.</span></span></div>

You can enter at <a href="http://bit.ly/VzWAQh">http://bit.ly/VzWAQh</a><br />
<br />
When you enter, it will ask for at least 3 pictures of your school and ideas on how you feel the makeover could best be used to benefit your school.<br />
<br />
I entered today and it was pretty easy. I'd love to see our local school get updated with energy efficient fixtures and a green conscious teaching program.<br />
<br />
<b>Info from the Pureology website:</b><br />
"Every child deserves a learning environment that’s safe, comfortable and free of harmful toxins. Unfortunately, many schools across the country lack the funds to carry out much-needed repairs and renovations—subjecting children to outdated facilities with improper ventilation, poor lighting and inefficient energy usage. Global Green USA is working to address this situation and ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn in a healthy, green school.<br />
<br />
When a school goes green, children benefit—as well as the environment! Green schools lead to:<br />
<br />
Improved student performance. When children learn in classrooms with natural daylight, improved sound quality and non-toxic building materials such as non-VOC carpets and paints, test scores can improve as much as 20%. Attendance also improves!<br />
<br />
More funds for student resources. When green upgrades are made to a school, water and energy costs can be reduced by as much as 40%. These savings can be channeled back into resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers and other essentials.<br />
<br />
Reduced carbon footprint<b>.</b> Greening a school significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming."<br />

I was thrilled to receive the Influenster Beauty Bloggers VoxBox for review.<br />
<br />
I'm having some trouble with my camera so I'm going to use the official pictures with a link to illustrate each product.<br />
<br />
First, my favorite item was the Not Your Mother's <a href="http://www.nymbrands.com/products/kinky-moves">Kinky Moves Curl Defining Hair Cream</a>. This really holds the curl in my hair so well. I wore it to work and several people asked me what I had done differently and one person asked me if I had used a curling iron! That's quite a reaction for just using a different product.<br />
<br />
I've already used up the sample and bought a full sized tube to replace it. It's very reasonably priced. <br />
<br />
The scent is grapey without being sweet. I think it would smell better if there was a bit of sweetness to the scent but it is still a pleasant scent. It does not leave my hair stiff or crunchy.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also received a Bath and Body Works Mini Candle. The scent I received was <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=11128744&cm_sp=FO-_-Home+%26+Candles-_-Mini+Candles+&cp=12586994.12936192">Black Pepper and Bergamo</a>t.<br />
<br />
The candle itself is good quality with a strong and long lasting scent. I will buy Bath and Body Works candles again because of this.<br />
<br />
The Black Pepper and Bergamot scent was not my favorite. It was very manly. I could imagine this scent fitting nicely in an old fashioned study with nice woodwork and leather chairs. It's a nice scent but not what I would choose.<br />

<br />
The Goody Simple Styles <a href="http://www.goody.com/Products/Hair%20Accessories/Simple%20Styles%20Spin%20Pin">Spin Pin</a> is something that I had seen in the stores but hadn't purchased because I wasn't sure how it worked. I was pleasantly surprised. The spin pins easily spin into the hair and I was happy to find that they also spin right back out (without catching or snarling) even with curly hair.<br />
<br />
The spin pin didn't work perfectly to create an unstructured updo, but for other buns it is very effective.<br />

I was very excited to see the NYC New York Color <a href="http://newyorkcolor.com/products/eyes/eyeshadow/individualeyes-custom-compact">IndividualEyes Custom Compact</a> in Dark. This compact comes with a primer, illuminator (a white cream shadow to add brightness) and 4 shadows ranging from silver to black.<br />
<br />
This is a cool kit because it has the colors to coordinate for a complete look. It has a reasonable price and is long lasting. The primer sometimes has some creasing. I will pick this up in other colors when I find it at the store. <br />

The first thing I picked up and used when I opened the box was the Vitabath Fragrance Mist in <a href="http://www.myvitabath.com/Product/InBloomASIANORCHIDCOCONUT8ozBodyMist">Asian Orchid and Coconut</a> scent. I sprayed it on my wrists and when I rubbed them together I noticed that it was very silky and smooth. It turns out that is because it has conditioning vitamins and antioxidants. So not only did it smell great but it was also good for my skin! I definitely notice the difference over using a standard body spray.<br />

The final item that I received is the Kiss <a href="http://www.myvitabath.com/Product/InBloomASIANORCHIDCOCONUT8ozBodyMist">Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit</a>. This is a false eyelash kit that comes with the eyelashes, adhesive, and an applicator. Interestingly it's created from human hair. The adhesive is applied to the false lashes and allowed to partially dry before being placed on the lash line. I like that this removes the possibility of dripping glue in my eyes. : )<br />
