life on the farm

After 14 years of raising boys( 4 of them to be exact), and being asked by numerous acquaintances answers to many mind-boggling questions on how to resolve parenting/discipline issues, I have decided to create a blog logging various day to day dilemmas we mothers of boys typically face.
This blog will not only document my experiences but will also include situations presented to me by friends and families, otherwise I'm sure those parusing this blog would get too inundated with "me and mine".
This blog will also detail the raising of my beagle puppies who are now 4 weeks old, and will of course include pictures of "my babies", until they go off to their "forever homes". Tango (mom beagle) and "Chester"(dad beagle), will of course be mentioned regularily as they are irreplaceable members of our family.
I hope to attract moms like myself, who when starting out this whole parenting adventure, didn't really know what to do or what to expect. I had my first son in rural Ontario with no mother or friend to ask for advice, and certainly could have used it on a daily basis had it been readily available.
I also hope to attract the odd owner of a loving family pet who is interested in breeding and could use a few tips on how to get started.
Here we go...............................let the posts begin
