Socks Galore!

This year for Christmas two of my riding lesson students bought me a few pair of socks. One day at I left straight from work and went to lessons and forgot to put a pair of socks in my truck so as kind of a joke, they bought me two AMAZING pairs of socks. Yes, I live in South Carolina but if the temperature drops below 65 I am freezing. So they knew they had to get warm socks and socks that were fit to wear with my boots. They did great picking out socks. I have never had socks I loved this much.  They have foot and ankle support, are super warm, and just tall enough to fit right with my boots, but not too tall they they go all the way to my knee (When you are only 5'1" sometimes socks are way longer than they need to be!) They are womens size 4-9 Merino Wool Socks. If you ever need super warm, super comfy socks these are the go to socks! Here are a few pictures just so you make sure you a getting the right thing. These definatley get 5 stars in my book.



Sorry the pictures are such poor quaility-my phone's camera is not the best. Hopefully I will upgrade soon. Happy Tuesday!

Happy New Year!

Well I have already been a bit slack on my New Year Resolutions. I made several-I wanted to start posting more, stay more up to date and not get so far behind, lose weight, be a better wife and mother, be a better business person, get and keep my horses in amazing shape, go to more shows, and so so many others. I am making some progress-I have started working out some and I have tried to make it where I can spend more time with Jacob. Chet and I bought a place that we are going to start working on so we can eventually rent it or sell it and when we get more land and get our dream house and barn built.  YAY! I am currently trying to get caught up so that I can devote at least 30 minutes each night to paper work so I can be a better business person. What are you doing to change your life in 2012?

Recalls

As some of you know I work part time at a feed and farm supply store. Yesterday, I got a call from one of our distributors wanting to know the lot numbers on our 16oz bovine eye wash from vetericyn. He told me that there was a recall and he needed to check the product we had in the store. Since, I am not the cattle expert at the store, I gave him the lot number and did not ask any questions. I cannot give any more details as I do not have them but I figured I would give a small "heads up" to those of you who may have cattle and use the product. Hope this helps someone!

Future Blogs

My goodness...This is the craziest time of year ever!!! I still have to take Jacob to see Santa, finish buying all my Christmas gifts, and then get them all wrapped. Not to mention, I am working and trying to get horses ready for upcoming shows and futurities. I have so many great things to write about just wish I had more time to sit down and do it. I have been crafting some and I want to share some pictures of that, I want to post about my hometown, Jacob, animal feeds, and some other livestock products. I will get to it ASAP.

4H

Most of you that know anything about me know that I am involved in with our local 4H club. 4H was a part of my life when I was younger and I feel that I am a better person because of it. Because of that I feel like I should give back to a program that gave so much to me. I volunteer with a horse club in Lexington. I am not the leader although I probably should be I just do not feel like I have the time to devote to the program in order to give the children what they really need so an amazing lady named Julie Harmon is the leader and she is doing a SUPERB job! This is only her first year and the club's first year and so far things are going great! Last week we had our Christmas party. We had a weenie roast and spent some time on the horse since during our regular meetings we spend time drilling facts into their heads and not riding all the time. We did some bareback work and then we played games. We had a rescue the snowman race and then a wheelbarrow race-which I have never done before. I must say we had a blast! Here are just a few pictures from the festivities!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas

Well it is December 14-only 11 days till Christmas. I have barely started Christmas shopping and Jacob has not seen Santa yet this year-I plan on doing that this weekend. Yes, I am aware I am slack. If it was not for my mother, I would not have a tree up yet either. It is such a pain to have a tree up. Jacob wants to touch it and take the ornaments off and run down the hall-it is hilarious to watch, but a pain to deal with. Since he is napping right now, I decided to take a quick picture of the tree to share before he gets into it again tomorrow. Hope you are more prepared and ready for Christmas than I am!

New Website

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will continue to be here until the end of the month but starting in 2012 there are huge changes on the way. I am going to transfer my blog and website to another host and do everything together so I am not so spread out. I am starting to work on things now and wow I am so excited. Can't wait until January 1 to unveil the new blog and site.
