    Frugal baby tips?

    Making baby food tips. Yep, you can freeze in ice cube trays. The trick is to move them from the tray to a freezer bag when frozen solid. Small batches do work best. Use good food safety tips and you should be fine. Another idea to avoid the freeze thing is to puree what your making for dinner...

    Frugal baby tips?

    My husband and I had a baby right our of college. Because I wanted to stay home our budget was tight to say the least. We did fine and our baby was well cared for. It can be done. My first tip would be to breast feed. Formula is expensive and breast feeding is "cheap". I would highly recomend...

    Trick Training a mini donkey

    My husband has taught our donkeys several tricks. We also have horses. My husband feels the donkeys learn much quicker than horses. He does feel that they need to "understand" what the trick will "do" for them. He never treats with food but attention. Scratches and happy dance "woo hooing". They...

    New Mini Donkey owner!

    I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. I haven't been on email due to the holiday. Our stall doors can't be burrowed under. We created this situation by adding a removal board to the bottom of stall doors. I like the peace of mind that when I hear coyotes at night I know they can't get in the barn...

    New Mini Donkey owner!

    Hi ! , Everyone is very nice here and my experience is that you can ask anything. We have two horses and two mini donkeys. One of our donkeys is very brave and has charged after coyotes with my husband in hot chase. Saying that, I would be deathly afraid if my donkeys got cornered, were alone...

    President Obama

    I like Michelle and Barack Obama very much. Both are showing strong family values in raising their children and I think this is a great role model. I love the fact that a "family" garden is being made at the white house for neighborhood school children to attend for the white house and homeless...

    Who plants a vegatable garden?

    We try to have a big garden. Some years we do better than others. I would suggest starting your plants early so they have a good head start before you plant them in your garden. Feeding plants does help them grow, but take it easy. Too much feeding incourages huge leaf growth and limited...

    Everyone Watching

    Yes, I watched Mr. Obama with great pride. I have huge hope in this mans intregiuty and ability. He will make mistakes, he's human. But he will do so giving his best effort. This I'm sure about. I supported him in the election with time and donations and I will support him now that he's...

    New Mini Mule Need Help

    I told you everyone is very nice and helpful here! I hope you feel better and are ready to get started with your new little guy. My husband wanted me to let you know that horses and donkeys(mules) are very different but the idea of starting slow and taking one step at a time is the same. He did...

    New Mini Mule Need Help

    My husband suggests many of Clinton Andersons techniques. We had a mare with a few difficult issues and he found his technique helpful. We found several of his c.d.'s at the library. Very expensive if you buy outright. Horse techniques, but we have used the ideas with our donks. Donks are quick...

    haunted houses

    Yes, I wouldn't say haunted but occupied. My husband and my first house gave off feelings. First, I need to say neither my husband or I talked about this until we were moving into our 2nd house. My husband said he was afraid of scareing me and I was afraid he'd think I was nuts. We also had...

    Santa boys

    Mac took P.J.'s hat may times. Each time Mac would run like crazy with P.J. in hot pursuit. My husband and I would laugh like crazy and run after the boys trying to resuce the hat for more Santa pictures. P.J. loved his hat and kinda strutted about with it on. Mac just wanted to steal P.J.'s...

    Risking your life

    Someone said their animals were little people. Well, our pets are people too. I think in an emergency I would react without thinking and try to save my animal family member. chico

    Tell me everything...

    Donkeys are very special and you won't believe ever having a life without one. To me, my boys are like toddlers; very curious, sweet and innocent. They really do need a donkey friend however. Horses and donkeys are different creatures. Good neighbors, even part of the same family, but they are...

    Santa boys

    Thanks, we do love our boys. The little spotty is P.J. and brown boy is Mac. P.J. loved his hat. Mac had to check it all out for a bit before he wore his. I did have the hats visit with carrots for a few days to introduce them. Maybe worth a try for fearful donks next year. They are very good...
