Typical homestead mom evening

[@vintagelady1]

Oh heavens to Betsy, I know how some little thing like busting a plastic flower pot can just be the end of the world for me when I'm tired or stressed out---even if the hurricane was "just" a tropical storm, I don't think you needed to have bags of trash thrown around the yard b/c you have plenty on your plate! I just find it better to have my tantrum & then I'm done & I can move on, usually! Of course, I don't have kids looking on to see how adults behave, just the dogs, & they get over things quickly. I LOVE your sunflower seed packets, I think you could sell those in a flash, or they'd make super little gifts for people at christmas or birthdays, esp. if you included instructions. I have a rug tip for you---for inside rugs, I buy the polypropolene indoor/outdoor rugs b/c I have dogs & those rugs are almost indestructible & LOTS cheaper than "real" rugs.. It takes some doing to stain them, you can hose them off outside, & they have lots of nice patterns. They don't wear much either. When they're old, I haul them out & use them to kill weeds in a patch I want to plant! they are heavy, don't blow away, & they squash the weeds good! Take care, don't forget to take a minute or 2 for yourself to watch a sunset or scritch a cute piggie!

Your right I have lots of eyes (children and dog )watching as an example of how to react and that’s stressful enough on it’s own😂. Thanks about the seed packs . Also that is a good idea on the rug if I decide I want one that will be the route I go! I honestly don’t really care too much for having one until my little kids are a little older .

@@honeybriarfarmstead I agree! I should definitely have waited until my puppy was housebroken---even with the outdoor rugs---what a pain!
