No Starbucks!
I LOVE chai lattes- iced, hot, or blended. Love them all.
So moving to the country, I had to give these up! No more Scooter's no more Starbucks.
I have however found a pretty decent at home recipe and want to share it with you.
Ingredients
2 individual tea bags
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup water
1 cup milk
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons refrigerated French vanilla nondairy creamer
Whipped topping and ground nutmeg, optional
Directions
Place the tea bags, cinnamon, ginger and allspice in the coffee filter of a drip coffeemaker. Add water; brew according to manufacturer's directions.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the milk, brown sugar and creamer. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through and sugar is dissolved. Pour milk mixture into mugs; stir in tea. Dollop with whipped topping and sprinkle with nutmeg if desired.
Yield: 2 servings.
Enjoy!

Well Water
We are having well water issues.
Or at least that is what I am blaming it on at this point. Ethan is having major intestinal issues... kept him home for 2 days last week and may likely keep him home the next two. Depending on how today went at school for him. He is going to the doctor on Thursday to see if there is anything we can give him or have him tested for. I am also having a sample of our water sent off to see if we can get it checked to make sure if its the water causing this.
I myself haven't felt well since moving here and my stomach is very off. However, I have always had stomach issues so I wasn't about to go to a doctor or pay to have the water tested on my account. Praying its a quick fix and my little man can get to feeling like himself again!! oh why did he have to be sensitive like his mother?

| MMM, fresh well water |
Country issue #10002- now somebody tell me, why isn't the water bothering these sweet little girls who constantly drink directly from the well water!?

These are a few of my favorite things... or, not!?
- Window ac units in each bedroom
- Going down in the cellar to flip the breaker when said units trip the breakers off
- Filling up water jugs at the well
- Going out to feed the cats, lol... lots of cats
- Riding on the tractor every weekend
- running the dogs' cage to the covered porch in the rain
- digging my dog out of the muddy creek because he is drowning in mud
- driving 15 miles to 'town' to take kids to and from school
- taking a shower with a tiny kid friendly dolphin shower adapter so I don't have to keep switching back to the regular shower
- Wearing my mud boots- in the mud! ugh
- riding in the truck out to the pond
- taking a tractor/trailer hayride to the campsite for supper
- snakes on the porch

First farm guests :)
We had company this past weekend to hang out on the farm. They are a family of six, five of which were there. So we had 6 little kiddos under the age of 6 ;) They stayed with us for 2 nights and it was so fun.
Hooking up the trailer to set up a hayride to the campsite for campfire supper tonight with the Sawyers.
On the tractor... headed to get hay
Bo Bo our new little 5 month old chocolate lab- LOVES the pond
