Throw back to the boys’ pallet fort, which is still very much alive on our farm. Our sole contribution was about $300 in deck screws, plus permission to scavenge the barns for miscellaneous materials. A worthy investment, in our books!

Full video with the 5-year evolution of their fort and a tour over on YouTube. Head to YouTube.com/rootsboots or comment FORT for the link.

Perfect solution for small spaces! 🌿 I’m loving the easy access to herbs and greens right outside my door at our home away from home while the farm is under renovation.

And the self-watering reservoir is so handy! I filled it at the time of planting which was several weeks ago and haven’t had to add any water since then. This will be so helpful for summer travel!

The only thing cuter than a baby goat is a bottle-fed baby goat who follows Haddon around like he’s her mother.😍🍼🐐

We have Nigerian dwarf dairy goats and baby goats means it’s almost time to start milking again! 🙌🏻

But not quite yet, because all of our mama goats had multiples and we want to make sure the babies get off to a great start before we share their milk.

Milk from Nigerian Dwarf goats is super creamy, thick, and mild in taste. It does not have that goat milk “tang”. The boys say it tastes like melted ice cream. 🍨😋

Competence builds confidence. Help your kids develop skills and they’ll develop confidence, too!

And just to clarify, it’s EMPTY praise that should be avoided. “You’re amazing!” Specific praise is a good thing. “You’ve made great progress on that piano piece. I’ve noticed how hard you’ve been working on the difficult section and it’s really paying off.”

This is not an exhaustive list but here are a few ideas of potential skills kids can learn:
Play an instrument
Scramble eggs
Measure ingredients
Make breakfast
Flip pancakes
Bake a treat
Cook an evening meal
Write a thank you note
Address an envelope
Order their own meal at a restaurant
Check out at the grocery store
Make their bed
Set the table
Load the dishwasher
Pick out a gift for a family member (and pay with their own money)
Sweep the floor
Run the vacuum cleaner
Change the AC filters
Change a light bulb
Raise an animal
Tend to a pet
Carry something heavy
Invent a game
Pull weeds
Care for a younger child
Paint a picture
Draw a sketch
Create something out of clay, wood, paper, etc.
Build a fort
Use a hammer
Use a screwdriver
Use pliers
Use a drill
Handle a knife
Answer a phone
Initiate a phone call
Ride a bike
Throw a ball
Read a book
Climb a tree
Catch an insect
Grow a plant
Knit, crochet, finger knit
Weave on a loom

What skills would you add to this list?

A few favorites shown here:
Scoop neck tee
Knit button down shirt

I absolutely love knowing that these base layer pieces worn next to my skin are clean and made from healthy materials (organic cotton grown and hand harvested on two farms in Peru).

This is organic cotton that looks good, feels good, and does good!
