Walkin' in High Cotton

So, I totally missed my own fledging link up last week and then missed posting on my favorite day of the week for Thankful on a Thursday too. Where was I? What life crisis, farm crisis, family crisis kept me from my keyboard? Well, as you read this we’re almost home from a whirlwind trip [...]

So, yesterday I started talking about my journey to complete digital photo organization–or something along those lines. After researching everyone else in the blogosphere’s methods, I came up with 3 main goals for my organizational strategy. It has to be… Safe. Easy for me to access. Easy for my family to access. Today let’s focus [...]

So, ever since I hit the 10,000 pictures uploaded “milestone” with my Flickr account (since May 2010, no less) I have known that I needed to get some kind of organizational plan in place before these digital photos became a source of anxiety rather than pleasure. Part of this “problem” is because I just love [...]

Can I just say that? It’s my favorite day of the week. We eat food everyone likes. Watch a movie no one has seen. And invite any family we can muster up within driving distance. This past weekend was also Speedracer’s 3rd birthday, so we got to have Mr. Fix-It’s sister, father, and step-mother in [...]

This past long weekend,  we had some good times as a family. Unfortunately, not everything about last weekend was rainbows and ribbons. Farm life rarely is. {Note: The pictures below may be disturbing to people unfamiliar with the birth processes of animals, although I’ve tried to judiciously crop out some of the more…unsettling…aspects.} It started out [...]

Well, I’m mucking my way through the week at work, missing our long 4 day weekend. Boy did I have a good time being home! I got to have Speedracer all to myself on Friday while the older two were in school and then we picked them up as soon as school was out (3 [...]

Hello! Happy Wednesday and welcome to the first link-up at Walkin’ in High Cotton! I’m so excited to have figured this out (I hope), but if it doesn’t work, just bare with me (and email me!) and I’ll see what I can do. If you’re still brand new to all this stuff (like me!) here’s [...]

Tomorrow I’ll be hosting a link-up for craft projects here on Walkin’ in High Cotton. That means you can link up your project to share with everyone. If you don’t have a blog to link to–don’t worry! You can still share your project. You’ll need to have an account with a web-based photo sharing site [...]

So, how do you like my new site design? Ha! Ha! This past 4-day weekend, I spent several (meaning waaaay more than I should have) hours going through different WordPress themes (“themes” are blog design templates for people who don’t know anything about “code” or real web design like me, made by people to do [...]
