It's funny that you are we...Hi from middle Alabama. It's funny that you are weighing the pros of cons of living out in the country. My husband (Mr. Country/Outdoors) was raised on a family farm. Farm meaning other people rent the land to farm, his family mainly hunts, fishes, plants for deer, burns stuff, etc. He would LOVE to live on the farm, he's even told me we could build the house of our dreams. I, however, can't see past the impracticality of it all. Driving back and forth to town for kid's activities (our baby is not old enough yet, but she will be soon enough.) Driving back and forth to church, work, etc. I just can't do it. For now we've agreed to stay in town, but I know his heart is on the farm. Maybe one day... Until then I will spend my time enjoying the convenience of living in town!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923175598811304534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-69072154287484164762009-06-01T07:19:33.760-05:002009-06-01T07:19:33.760-05:00The mosquitoes love me too.

Thought you might want to whip up something yummy with all your blackberries this weekend! I loooove cobblers--they are so easy and so yummy over vanilla ice cream. Gosh and now that I'm thinking about it, I think baby boy #2 is going to want some tomorrow. haha ;)<br /><br />Preheat oven to 375. Place 4 cups of blackberries in a lightly greased 8 inch square baking dish;sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. lemon juice. Stir together 1 large egg, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 cup sugar until mixture resembles course meal. Sprinkle over fruit and drizzle 6 Tbsp melted butter over topping. Bake at 375 for 35 mins or until lightly browned and bubbly. Let stand 10 mins--serve warm over ice cream! <br />*makes 6 servings<br />*personal side note--I think raspberries, peaches, and blueberries would be de-lish, too!!<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />PS--thanks for your email back about the big boy room! :) i am going to get those jenny lind beds and probably paint them red! fun....The Wiggins Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017112156048632810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-13514016808801407932009-05-30T22:30:49.200-05:002009-05-30T22:30:49.200-05:00Oooh!

Love your blog & look forward to it! My Mom & I were just talking this morning about some dreams. If I won the lottery, I would buy all the homes on one cul-de-sac of my neighborhood and move my husband's siblings & my sisters in. Then all the cousins could play outside and run all over together.It would be a constant block party. Of course, we would have to get a "vacation" house in another neighborhood so we could get away from everyone during the holidays-haha:)JeninKCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-2603685224242480742009-05-30T16:16:38.774-05:002009-05-30T16:16:38.774-05:00So, I didn't make it to commenting yesterday.

I found your blog months ago through my old college roommate Heather Spencer. I love reading it! My kiddos are now huge fans on "cini-minis".<br />I have 4 kids. Twin girls that are 4, a two year old girl and our little boy who is almost 4 weeks old. So, at this point the only dream I have is to fit back in my clothes and have a good night of sleep!!! <br />Thanks for writing and all the fabulous, I also dream of one day being as good at sewing as you are and having more time to sew! (Because along with being at home with the 4 kids, I am finishing my masters)Lodmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16702810869696164543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-87623751197619412342009-05-30T13:13:33.553-05:002009-05-30T13:13:33.553-05:00Brown watercolor...priceless.

And like you said, when there are less houses and more land, you're going to pay a lot of money and we don't have that! :) I have also gotten way to used to being close to Target, the mall, etc. I grew up in Slocomb where you had to drive almost 30 minutes to get to these places.

Wow! I had no idea that I might be living everyone else's dream! I figured most people just thought we must be rednecks. I've lived in the country, on open land my entire life. I realize that I haven't experienced the pluses of living in town, but I really love living where we do. We have lots of room to spread out here, and it's not that far from "town".

We decided to buy 3 acres in a town 30 minutes from where we used to live and sometimes i still struggle with it! in the summer, the mosquitoes are horrible b/c our property is backed completely by woods, we don't get nearly as many visits from friends and family, and the drive to any shopping is 15 minutes (not bad...but still!) and i always fear my kids will feel left out b/c they aren't in the neighborhood with their other friends. HOWEVER!! i have dreamt of having a horse and chickens as well! I dreamt of my children riding 4-wheelers around our property, walking hand in hand up our hill to get the mail, sitting outside on our deck in the morning with nothing but the sound of the birds and its' all worth it! so peaceful! my husband said he remembers when he was a kid and lived in town, that all he ever wanted to do was go to his friends house that lived out of town! so, that makes me feel better! i would definately say that there are definately ups and downs!Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851089456272003861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-85623506331026557342009-05-29T21:24:43.722-05:002009-05-29T21:24:43.722-05:00I have never commented, but I just had to say that...I have never commented, but I just had to say that mosquitoes eat me alive too!

So, as long as you aren't too scared of bats, may be an option for a pest free yard.<br /><br />Here's the link, if you don't think it is too crazy, http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/how-to/intro/0,,20165965,00.html.<br />The little house in the magazine looked more like a little bird house, it was cuter, but I though it was interesting!
