Duck eggs 🍳 are higher in protein and omega 3 fatty acids, both of which are good for you.
One duck egg has about 9 grams of protein while one chicken egg has about 6 grams of protein.
Keep in mind that ducks allowed to free range will have more nutritious eggs than ducks that are kept in cages and fed a pre-mixed diet, just like chickens that are free-ranged.
Also, while duck eggs have more protein and omega-3 fatty acids than chicken eggs, they also contain more fat. If you’re using them to bake with, the extra fat can help to produce top-shelf baked goods.
Duck eggs contain 10 grams of fat while chicken eggs contain about 5 grams of fat.
Duck eggs aren’t just better sources of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, they’re also more nutrient dense:
Iron, Phosphorus, Zinc, Selenium, Vitamins A,E,B6 & B12 are alll higher than chicken eggs.

Make this popular again. ^
I recently realized that it's become common for families to encourage girls to break up with their boyfriends after highschool and before college. They are encouraged to "go explore and adventure" and "test the strength of their bond" and then reconvene years later to decide if marriage is right.
Who popularized this sick tradition?
First off, most girls should not go to college. College should not be something that everyone does. Not only is it usually a complete waste of money, but it is one of the most powerful sources of indoctrination for women. Many young women there will make huge mistakes under social pressure, mistakes that can affect their lives forevermore.
Secondly, after 4 years of separation and "exploring", it is highly likely that the trust and bond will be damaged beyond repair.
I understand that not *every* young love is meant for marriage, nor do *all* young people have steady relationships worth pursuing into adulthood. However, I wonder how many people would be more happy and prosperous if they had married their young love and not gone to college (especially girls here).
How many bitter, vile feminists would be prevented? What volume of anti-depressants and birth control would be left out of the water ways?
I would like to see our healthy traditions come back- encouraging young people to preserve themselves and prioritize marriage and family at a young age.
Young women who are concerned about a career for the ability to contribute financially to the family *can* find many ways to do so, without strapping her future husband with a lifetime of debt for a degree she'll likely never fully utilize.
This video clip made my day. Cheers to this gal for setting a good example.

"To whom little is not enough, nothing is enough".
Let that sink in.
One of the keys to inner happiness is contentment. Learn to be content with what you have!

In the coming weeks we will be planning our Spring garden and getting all of the necessary supplies to start building it. Super excited...It's going to be a pretty big one! I will share our self suffiency journey as it unfolds.
I encourage all of you to put your tax return/child care tax credit money to good use for your family this year. Each year the system gets closer to total annihilation and every year you should be working at becoming more self sufficient.
The time is near. Plan and prepare!!

Helped my son make a Valentines box for his valentines from his friends. It was fun and so sweet to make with him! Painted a $1 box from Dollar General and hot glued spare ribbon I had on hand. He colored the adorable hearts holding hands etc. 😍💗
What are some jobs your little ones have?
They're never too young for chores and responsibilities! Start them young and they will learn to be helpful, productive, kind individuals. My four year old loves to sweep and is always asking me what he can do to help me. I have him sort socks, put his toys away, wipe walls, put clothes away and any other little "service opportunities" I can think of to allow him to feel included and accomplished. My children lighten my load and build character and identity in their family unit. It's a win-win for us all! 😍
