Woke up was sitting on the recliner and the 3yo gets down, takes out the leftover ribs, gives some to his sister, and then goes to the sink to "rinse some off". 🤦‍♀️

They're starting to come along! They still both need the lining, but Jessica finally started batching the parts so it would go faster at night when she has time to sew. Now she just needs someone to help her read the sewing lingo to know how to do the lining and she'll be set to finish one. 😅 Until then the plan is to keep up the creation of the outside of the stockings.

The thing that gets me with these milk banks/donation facilities is they always pastorize the milk. How is the child suppose to have any of the natural nutrients if they kill all the natural immunity building bacteria in the breast milk? I mean it's finally come out more recently that breast milk can be left out a lot longer than they use to tell you and be perfectly safe (because the milk itself is antimicrobial to some extent). It's simply the catching containers that can be contaminated.

I had to rub this little guy's pebbles looking feet to get him to go to 💤. Yesterday he was so tired he was falling over in his seat at supper when we put him to bed. 3 hours later he woke up and was my shadow until he fell asleep in our bed with us. He's our 3rd out of 4 (6and under) so the understanding of this really doesn't last long is finally really hitting.... doesn't make the mornings after 2+ awakings easier, but it does make all these snuggles a little sweeter and more dear.

Cacao yogurt was the request this morning, but it sounded like he was saying "taco cha-lit yogurt". Plain + plain Greek yogurt with organic cacao mixed in. Fructose intolerance so the vanilla yogurt's a no go for the little boy.

It's a rainy day on the Gulf Coast. So I'm catching up on some projects in the kitchen. I like to buy bags of onions, use the peals in bone broth and chop the rest up and put it in the freezer. It saves time and money. When I leave the onions in the cabinet I always have 1 or more go bad on me. #grownostr #tip #cotckitchen #cotc

These are all barnyard mix. I'm not sure which hen is laying the grey ones yet. The Sexlink/Easter egger mix lays a greenish blue. Then I have Rhode Island/Easter egger, Barred Rock/Easter Egger, and California Tan/Easter egger mixes.

This bush is a type of hibiscus. I tried to chop it down when we first moved here because it grows into the door way and the screen door can't shut. It just comes back. Since then, I've found out that the little flowers make a tiny fruit and the flowers can be used to make some sort of tincture for heart health. And as I've started sitting outside for the sunrise I've discovered the humming birds love it. Needless to say it's a favorite now.

Banana, raw milk, vanilla, organic cocoa powder, maple syrup, 2 fresh yard eggs. Frozen and they dig it out.

So they're more green/blue green. We incubated some eggs from some of our hens: Rhode Island Red, Barred Rock, California Tan, and Black Sexlink. The daddy was an Easter Egger. So it's a "barnyard mix" as they call it. I'll try to get a better picture of the colored eggs next time.

I've been trying to get outside for the sunrise each morning to get my face in that early morning 🌄. I forgot I moved the bus in the backyard to put the chicken feed away yesterday so it's a little different view today. 😅 Did you know we need few spectrum uv rays? And that the sunrise is most beneficial in helping our body know it's time to wake up and start your day? It can energize your body better than coffee!

Sunday I blended a package or our beef kidney and scooped out a spoonfuls onto parchment paper and froze them. Then I put it in a bag (and labeled them this time). I snuck one of them into the spaghetti we are and nobody knew! My goal is to sneak at least one per week into our meat.
The last time I had tried doing this I forgot to label it and when doing some baking took it out thinking it was chocolate. I stuck my finger in it and licked it and it was not what I was expecting. Because I had left it on the counter as long as I did I had to toss it all.

Our cow share being out of milk, we had to buy this in a pinch. Cute concept for the bottle, but the design leads to issues. Namely because it's so full of milk all the cream settles to the skinny top and makes almost butter that doesn't want to shake back in the milk. So someone ends up getting a glob of cream. 😂 It feeks Jr out. Tastes good though. #grownostr #rawmilk #kaloona #kaloonamilk #lowtemppasterizedmilk #rawfood #realfood #foodpiramidsucks
