Just a “hi” to those out there who may come upon Bungalowjungalow. In case you’ve been wondering, I decided to take a summer break from blogging – I’m having a hard time sitting in front of my computer long enough to write and post pictures while it’s so warm and beautiful and there’s so much to do outside. However, as soon [...]

Urban Farming Attempt…
Posted in Around the Bungalow, Keeping Things Tidy, Urban Farming on June 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Time for a quick update and news from our Bungalow. Mama’s too tired to write much tonight, though…my three little boys continue to be wiggly, warm-hearts that provide me lots of wonderful work, and so at the end of the day sometimes I’m just plain weak. Thought I would show a few pictures, though, of our continued urban farming attempt. What [...]
An Apron Wardrobe

Dishes are my personal battleground these days, dishes along with laundry. Nothing makes my home feel more restful then when my dishes and laundry are in order. Is it just me, or is anyone else out there fighting the same battle too? It’s funny, nowadays women don’t talk much about everyday things such as dishes or [...]
A Backyard Afternoon

We’ve been having good days and bad days over here as we’ve continued to struggle with illness. Lately, I’ve felt like a little gopher that just peeks its head up to look around when it can – then after taking a quick peek, it must hide again to work hard on a task. However, all of our heads were “peeking” out today, [...]

Some good friends of ours (who have become wonderful allies in chicken-keeping), gave us an amazing urban farming gift – a chicken coop! They have decided to take a break from chickens, and have taken up honey bees instead. (We loved seeing your hives by the way!) On Saturday we drove out to their farm in [...]
Ladybugs Have Arrived!

Ladybug, ladybug fly away! Can’t remember the last time two little boys were more excited. Today, we released one-thousand ladybugs into our yard to be used as pest control. When we drove by our favorite nursery this afternoon, we saw a sign that read: “Ladybugs have arrived!” The bug enthusiasts that we are, we felt we had to [...]
A Happy Weekend

It’s amazing how glorious an otherwise normal weekend can seem when all the little ones are healthy! It was spring-like outdoors, everyone was happy, and our vegetable starts seemed to smile at us. Even the chickens seemed extra happy as they ”free ranged” and sun-bathed! (Don’t worry Uncle Rob, we’re going to chicken-wire the whole area, and secure it [...]
Poking My Head Out

Just poking my head out to say “hello”, and wishing that you all are in good health! Our house has seemed exactly like a hospital sick ward this week…we’ve had the virus that just keeps on giving. It gave one a stomach bug, two kids viral pink eye, everyone bad cold symptoms, one kid an ear infection, one [...]
