mother's day

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. 

Today is mother's day my friend came and got the kids and I. They gave me flowers and a candle for mothers day. My oldest childs birthday is Tuesday. My friends made him a cake and got him presents because they won't be able to make it to his birthday party.

They have a pond on their property. Its a beautiful walk through the woods to get there. We took the boat out and went fishing. We didnt catch anything but we did see a snaping turtle. Then the boys found frogs. 

When we got back from playing by the pond we went inside. The kids played with toys then watched a movie while we chatted. The kids took a nap whole watching the movie and after we went outside.

They have a few animals and my kids helped them feed mostly they watched and asked questions. They have a few cows a horse two donkeys and chickens. The kids gathered the eggs. After we went inside and my friends made supper. 

We had spaghetti and they lit candles on the cake and we sang happy birthday and my kid blow out his candles. We had cake and the kids ran around before the hour drive back to our house. That was how I was able to spend my mother's day and I'm very lucky to have such wonderful friends and I'm very grateful for them. I hope you had a wonderful mother's day how ever you spent your day.

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,...
