By ERIN TURNER

Some of you asked me to share about my family’s “homesteading” activities. It’s a deviation from couponing but it does dovetail with our frugal lifestyle. And since I’m intensely focused these days on planting our gardens, hatching poultry, and sloppin’ pigs, it seems an appropriate blog this week!

Our family farm does 10 CSA’s and a weekly farmers’ market, plus we have 100 chickens, 12 hogs, turkeys, pheasants and rabbits

Off The Ground

By DANIELLE LATTUGA Smoke was walking a slow circle around me and my eyes were half-closed while a pocket of sun warmed my face. SuzAnne was riding Lonza—asking her to gait, go backwards and walk the plank (a raised platform that’s been sitting in the middle of the arena lately). SuzAnne and Lonza stopped for [...]

I Love That My Son Loves Running

By EVA DUNN-FROEBIG, Executive Director of Run Wild Missoula We hope our kids will find something in the world that they are passionate about, but when we can share that “thing” with them it’s like winning an Olympic medal. That’s how I felt after running the YMCA Riverbank 1-mile run with my 5-year-old son this [...]

Save It – With Menu Planning

makeitmissoulabloggers — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 16:59:58 +0000

By ERIN TURNER It’s 4:30pm, what are you having for dinner? If you have no clue, then you could benefit from menu planning. My house is busy and full of activity from 3-6pm. Trying to come up with dinner ideas and prepping for it during these hours only creates more chaos and stress. Menu planning [...]

Hard Ground

makeitmissoulabloggers — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 16:45:51 +0000

By DANIELLE LATTUGA Smoke and I are often less than poetry on six feet. We’re more like a blob of bubble gum stuck to someone’s shoe. Sometimes the poetry comes later, when my body is not beat down, and that horse is not stubbornly pushing his hot breath into my face. Hard Ground Quiet Still [...]

Power – My "Mane" Man

makeitmissoulabloggers — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:23:24 +0000

By SUZANNE MILLER

Beginnings do not always foretell the story. Power came into my life during a period of sadness, confusion, and stress. I had no business buying a horse. My father was dying. My mother was in a rehabilitation center with a broken pelvis. I was in the middle of a large consulting contract that required me to travel between Montana, Colorado, and Alaska.
