a day in the life

Hello friends 

I'm Mrs Columbia, and I'm new to being a wife, mother, and trying to be a homesteader. I want to share my story so I can look back over the years at all that's changed and we have accomplished. 

The kids are sick they have a cold. I was up most of the night blowing noises. We woke at 7 a.m., and the children snuggled in my bed till 830. They had breakfast and played with toys till 10 am. While they played, i stared a load of laundry and then cleaned the bathroom. 

At 10 a.m., I gave them a natural medicine to help with their runny nose. We snuggled in our chair and read books for an hour. I sat on the floor and built an epic house from magnetic tiles with the children. We put in bunked beds and got our fisher-price little people toys, and made them sleep. 

Lunch was at noon. We had a sandwich after we cleaned up the toys in the living room. Then, we got ready for a nap. we read a book and snuggled. After the youngest fell asleep, I folded the laundry. I washed this morning and got supper cooked. 

After nap 2 pm, we played outside it snowed, and they played for an hour. 3 pm we checked the mail, and they really enjoyed doing that, and we even do it on Sunday, knowing there won't be mail. Around 4 p.m., we brought our library books back, and the children played with toys for a while, and then we picked out books.

At 6 pm we went shopping it almost spring and the children need mud boots we looked around the store for a hour trying to wear them out before bed around 7pm we get back home they have dinner and a bath. I read them a few library books, and they fell asleep.

Around 8 to 9 pm, I start the closing shift where I clean up all the toys from the day. Load and run the dishwasher. I get things ready for the morning, such as getting the children's clothing out to make the morning as esay as I can. I like to walk around with my phone and make a list of chores for tomorrow. At 10 p.m., I get ready and go to sleep.

More next week, I will be trying to post every Sunday morning.

Life update

I'm Mrs Columbia and I'm new to being a divorced single mother and trying to be a homesteader. I want to share my story so I can look back over the years at all that's changed and we have accomplished. It’s been a long time since I have made a post. I’m sorry about that. So in the past few months I have been fighting in court for custody. Other than that I’m still working in a bakery but now I’m going to school to be a life insurance agent. That’s going well I’m getting good grades and learning a lot. My 5 year old started kindergarten and is loving it. My two year old is being watched while I’m at work by one of my friends. I’m trying to get into a daycare but they are so expensive. We are living in an apartment. I’m trying to sell my truck and get something a little less expensive to drive. I still have dreams about starting my own business I either want to start a cleaning company or a bakery of my own. I have put a lot of thought into both. If I could get the money to s...

getting a divorce with kids

Hello friends,  I'm Mrs Columbia and I'm new to being a divorced single mother, and trying to be a homesteader. I want to share my story so I can look back over the years at all that's changed and we have accomplished.  Getting a divorce with children is hard I was a stay-at-home mother of 2 children for 5 years and I just started working a few months ago and I'm trying to afford an apartment. If I could get some income from these blog posts that would help me start up my cleaning company.  It has been very challenging for me lately working and trying to afford everything my kids have been used to. I feel like I'm failing as a mother as I don't see my children as often as I used to and when I do see them I'm tired from work and stressed about money and that's not fair for them. I would like to be able to be with them more I just don't know how to make that happen and still financially take care of them.  If I were able to make extra income from this ...

may day in the life

Hello friends  I'm Mrs Columbia, and I'm new to being a wife, mother, and trying to be a homesteader. I want to share my story so I can look back over the years at all that's changed and we have accomplished.  This morning we woke up late around 7 30 and it was a warm and sunny i started a load of towels and had my coffee on the front porch the children played in the yard after having a bowl of cereal for breakfast.  When the laundry was finished, I hung ut out on the clothes line. I washed our bed sheets and opened all the windows. After shaking out the area rugs, I decided that I wanted to play in the garden. This fall, when the leaves fell, I didn't get a chance to rake them out of my garden, so I did that and pulled any weeds. I picked out some for the larger rocks and cheeked on the strawberry plants and the rhubarb plants they are looking amazing. When the beding was finished washing, I took the towels in and folded them, and hung the sheets out to dry. For lunch,...
