Preparing to rent out a room in your home

January 27, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Most families could do with a little extra income. But for many, time is an issue. So, taking another job is just not an option.

Getting A Bit Ahead of Myself On The Farm-Failed Projects Again

May 2, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy 6 Comments

I am guilty of doing stupid things a lot of the time but my recent escapades have been funny even by my own standards. I really want a produce stand at the farm-you know so that passers-by can buy half a dozen eggs, that kind of thing.   I have been researching profusely on Pinterest … [Read more…]

November 30, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

With Christmas fast-approaching it’s time to think about what to buy for everyone. One person in particular is generally treated to the same gift every year, however. While we stereotypically give dad socks for 25th December, maybe it’s time to start thinking of alternatives that will make him smile.  If you’re trying to come up … [Read more…]

Well we are well into November now and, while many of the shops have been stocking Christmas for months now, the season is creeping up on us here at the farm. We have endured weeks of renovations and decorating which I am sure I will be sharing with you at some point but do keep … [Read more…]

How to Personalise Your House to Make It Feel Like a Home

December 21, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

When you own your property, you want to put your personal stamp on it to reflect your personal tastes. Only when you take this step do you truly feel like your abode is yours. When not doing so, the home reflects some of what the previous owner(s) enjoyed and will never feel right or comfortable. … [Read more…]

Revamping My New-Old Desk

January 8, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 6 Comments

I’ve wanted my own work space for ages. Hubster and I shared a desk in our office-come toy-storage area. He got annoyed when nail varnish, crochet and other paraphernalia got left on said desk and I got annoyed when I had to wade through 16 copies of farming papers and paperwork to blog. It was … [Read more…]

November is such a busy month as we plan ahead for Christmas. I have been busy beavering away. I started off by making a Leek and Pulled Pork Bubble and Squeak with Poached Egg in conjunction with British Leeks. They are currently in season and I really enjoyed this post.

Approaching Home Renovation Season

November 11, 2015 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Although living on a farm may have many wonderful benefits such as being able to gaze at a beautiful starry sky and letting the kids enjoy the great outdoors, when it comes to maintaining the home it can provide more than a few issues.

My New Kitchen Floor-An Excuse for a Revamp

August 18, 2015 by farmerswifeandmummy 7 Comments

When we first moved to the farm, I ordered a terracotta style floor covering but it was out of stock. In a panic to get it fitted and move in, I panic-chose a cream alternative. Cream. In a farmhouse. What. Was. I. Thinking? Not only was it cream but it was textured too so any … [Read more…]
