My guilty pleasure


What a beautiful daaaaayyyyy.....for Horses in the Morning!!!!  Well, if you didn't catch it my post about Road to the Horse and colt starting competitions, I'm totally, completely in love with the Horse Radio Network and the Horses in the Morning show.  Glen and the crew are so much fun! While I've never met them in "real life," I feel as though I they are a group of folks I have come to know.

The Horses in the Morning show is my guilty pleasure and my day just doesn't seem complete if I haven't listened.  Now, I don't get to have the opportunity to listen live because of the nature of my "real job" (a.k.a, the thing that gets in the way of all the time I could be riding), but I do listen to an archived pod cast either when I'm feeding the herd in the morning or on my drive to work.  Sometimes, I'll listen to two episodes a day!

Today, I'm listening while I grade papers and my toddler is enjoying what, I hope, will be our last snow storm of the year.   Somehow, hearing about Thor and Zeus (the Mustangs) or Scooter (the pony) makes grading late papers with poor grammar almost tolerable!

Not only is the show fun to listen to but I learn something nearly every time I listen.  As someone who describes herself as a lifelong learner I love the opportunity to grow.  After all, there's always something new to learn when it comes to horses!

I challenge you all to listen for yourself and see what new things you might learn!  And, if you don't learn anything new, you're at least going to have yourself a good laugh!

DIY for the equestrian

I love DIY stuff.  Love is probably not the right word...obsess is more correct.  I would guess this obesession is why the essential oil business chose me.  On a side Inote, I'm looking at schools for aromatherapy--anyone out there have a recommendation?   Right now I'm leaning toward the program at AromaHead .  I have a lot of extra commercially made stuff from my subscripition services, but as I run out I add in my DIY products.    For your convience, I've included a list of what I've made and a link to where I found the recipie.  What do you make for your horses?  What do you want to try?  I'd really love to try some of the DIY barn organization ideas, but mine just never quite turn out "right."  They always look thrown together instead of neat-o and the end result should end up on one of those Pinterest Fail memes.    Anyway, list and links below.  If you've tried any of those barn hacks, take a picture and send to me.  I just might have a goodie t

I've got a confession.  It's a dark, dirty secret and it has started to take over my life.    No, I do not have another horse.  Besides...it's no secret those 4-legged-hay-eating-hair-shedding-balls-of-joy have taken over my life.  Wait...new essential oils stuff?  Nope.  Not oils related either. I carry this damn thing everywhere and am pretty obsessive about it.  In fact, I carry TWO with me. Maybe a new cell phone?  After all, I am kind of a tech junkie.....  Almost too much of a tech junkie at times.  In fact, I have given serious thought to this article on NPR  and wonder, how many times have I upset my children because I needed to read one more article or look up "one more thing."  I work hard to take time to "unplug" but I wonder if my family and I might need to "unplug" a little more.  Alas, no new phone.  I might be a tech junkie, but I am a CHEAP tech junkie; which means I will keep my phone until it doesn't work anymore.  E

This and that

I have been spending a lot of time working on my mindset.  I've always sort of been a "glass half full" girl, but lately I've been really trying to tackle my issues with money.  Probably not the best idea as a business owner to put this out for the world to see, but historically I've not been real super with money.  There never seemed to be enough, no matter how much we had and I just couldn't figure out what was going on.  I mean, I was doing a lot of things "right": Tracking my spending Creating a budget Paying off high interest debts  Trying hard to build a savings account Putting money in my retirement account But, I was still financially failing.  I've decided I'm going to create a new money story and part of that process is working on my own attitude.  Why?  Because, as I've noticed with young children and with my equine crew, you get more of what you see.  I can't explain why that happens.  There's behavioral
