I am told often that I should post more, this is a normal issue for me. Usually my response is -I don’t have anything to talk about, and then I’m reminded that I don’t always have to post about something rather I can just post fun stuff about my life. 👀
I’ve never really considered myself a blogger or content creator, and most of my work on Steem happens behind the scenes, which keeps me busy. But it turns out to get rewarded for that work, you have to post 😁 ha, I’ll never grasp the concept I guess.. and I always just think I need something to post about.
I do love being a part of this community though and find we all are so close because we do share things about our lives ❤️ I just am not always so great about it.
Well this time that’s not even my excuse, I actually have lots of things I want to talk about -
@steemonboarding’s new kick ass contest to get people on Steem. 🙌🏼
A super special package I received from @goldmatters that I need to unbox. 😍
My campaign to try to get @rustle to Cali that I haven’t even started! 🤦🏻♀️
Finishing the #steemvision project. 👩🏻💻
Also, maybe try to make a few videos to try to explain aspects of Steem I find seem to still confuse people.. as in the rewards/inflation pool and the proposed downvote pool as well as why I think a well funded SPS (Steem.dao) could be a game changer for Steem. Even though the idea of talking about downvotes and how dang popular that will make me isn’t something I’m looking forward to 😂 but I think discussing these things in “normie” ways is needed.. so it’s on the list too. 🗣
but all the things have still not happened and I think it’s been about a week since I last posted.. as I’ve just been so busy with life 😫
Life
Yeah.. busy time of year for me and lots of things happening. SO until I can get all those super interesting things out, I’ll just tell you about all the things keeping me so busy.
New additions to the family
Yep, we got goats. And they are just as much fun as I thought they would be!
My daughter has been wanting them for awhile. Her local 4H group shows Pygmy goats and while she has been learning along with them, I had put off the actual getting of them for awhile.. but I finally gave in.
And they are super cute 😍
But a lot of work. We had to build a pen for them that was safe but also easy to move so they could get some fresh grass.. plus they are babies and that means they need some attention haha.
My daughter is actually outside reading to them right now, no lie. She’s pretty adorable. 😊
So yes, goats... goats have been keeping me busy.
Plus house building!
Yep, still building the house, slowly but surely.
I should have recorded how we got that large upper piece in there, it would have been entertaining... but I was too busy trying not to die.
That’s the window to the little ones hidden reading loft off of her room. It’s hard to tell from the photos, but it’s going to be pretty cool. I’m only slightly jealous...
It’s coming along nicely though!
Running a Non profit event
Yeah, I hadn’t really planned this one. My family runs an event to raise money for a local non profit started by a family that lost their daughter to leukemia.
All the funds go to local families with children battling cancer. Over the last 10 years the organization has not only provided payment for expenses of those families, but also provided a whole cancer wing in the local hospital with housing for families as well. It’s a pretty amazing organization.
Since I am home now I had of course volunteered to help, but I didn’t realize that meant I would now be taking on the event 😄
It’s been very time consuming but also so rewarding because it’s for an amazing cause.
So lots of organizing, planning, marketing, etc etc etc
This morning I am trying to use my fancy camera to get some shots of the champion buckle (that is one of the items that will be auctioned off that evening), for some advertising I’m having printed.
I think I finally got the shot...
🙌🏼
Next on my list today?
Well I have another huge event I’m running tomorrow that I need to prep for, but I need coffee first.. then probably take a goat break before getting back to work.
because who doesn’t need a goat break? 🐐
Anyways, that’s what I’ve been up to...
I swear I’ll post super interesting things soon, until then you get my ramblings about my busy week plus some goats thrown in.
I hope you guys are having an amazing week and happy Friday!!
Much Love,
Justine
This animal looks funny... first it try be very cute :)) ... and when you let it out in the garden, it start eat all what you have there :)))
cute little fella's. let's eat them:)
🤣 oh man.. I just spit out my coffee on that one. You can’t eat them!! They are entirely too cute and twice as smart as half of civilization! Have a 🍪 instead.
You’re on fire Justine ! :)
Haha! Thanks, now if only I could actually do all the things on the list 😜
Love seeing how far your house has come. And I adore the hidden reading nook!
Thank you! It’s been really fun to watch it progress and yeah her nook is shaping up to be the coolest part of the house. I’m really excited for her to have a place to enjoy like that.
Amazing you are able to keep up with it all and continue working with the community here as well!

Awe thank you ❤️.. but I’m failing miserably lately!
Hey, everyone is posting about the HF21. What are your takes on it? It's pretty trendy right now to post about that, lol. I might give it a shot too.
Ok, after seeing your goats I want to sell my motorbike and drown myself in goats... :D
Looks pretty darn cool! Also, the area you are on looks like a neat ranch area kinda ish? I like it!
Drowning in goats 🤔 their milk and cheese is delicious 😋
Posted using Partiko iOS
Yeah, I don't think I actually wanna drown in goats. Maybe their cheese :P
😂 we should all hope to be so lucky before crossing the rainbow bridge...

Man, I'm praying all the time. :D
Haha, it is the talk of the town right now isn’t it? I have mixed feelings about it personally, I love some aspect and am meh about others. One thing that to think is super clear is that there is a general misunderstanding and/or confusion about certain aspects about it and what it actually means for Steem. I am hoping to try to help with that if I can, as I think it’s really important to communicate with the community here.
I'm personally a huge fan of the SPS and getting sustainable funding for it, as well as the downvote pool itself.
We tried to tell you 😂
🏍 < 🐐
Thank you!! Yeah, my family has a 40 acre ranch in the Sierra mountains... it’s pretty beautiful 😊
🏍=🐐 I reconsidered and came up with this conclusion :)
I gotta get a goat !
Posted using Partiko iOS
Yes you do! Everybody needs a goat 🤷🏻♀️
Where I live they're living a free range urban life amongst millions of humans. I can't compete with that seeing as I have not one blade of grass to graze upon..
I miss the Cali life, keep us posted...

Man Man, those are some seriously cute goats!
Thanks! Aren’t they adorable 😍
We are busy sometimes in life!
Posted using Partiko Android
Yes very true! It’s all about balance.
Cute little pygmy goats huh? Nothing like a goat break of more people got breaked the world would be a more productive place. :)
Good luck with the event. Hope it works out fine.
Yes! Pygmy goats and they are stinking cute.
I agree, more goat breaks are needed... we would all be better off ❤️
I enjoyed a vicarious goat break today by reading your goat break post again. Thank you :)

Didn't know you had 'kids' 😋🤣🤗🤗

It turns out, I don’t even need it. Just by attitude alone I can tell it’s bigger than yours.
They seem to not have any need to go around pretending they know anything or are somehow superior. They just enjoy life 🙂 I guess some people just make up for their short comings in different ways though.
If you still find yourself obsessed with the size though, maybe you could get some folks to send your other account photos to compare? That profile picture much more likely to get some good ones sent your way!
Have a good one!
I just meant that the goats are small. I dont know what you are talking about.
Posted using Partiko Android
Me too.. small goats with big hearts. What are you talking about? 🤔
I feel bad when you are so hostile towards me. 😟
Hows the Steem Alliance doing? I heard you left it.
Posted using Partiko Android
I have no hostility to you, I just know what you’re doing when you show up here and I act accordingly 😉
Steem Alliance foundation is great, they are working on legal structure. Yep, after 4mths of volunteering I stepped down as I felt I was not needed for this part and had fulfilled my original commitment.. needed to focus on some life stuff 🙂
I just show up to say hi. Chit chat a bit. Repartee. Chitter chatter. Is that so wrong? 😞💔
I just want everyone to be happy.

Haha. I kid. I drop by because its fun how mad you get at me. 😁
You get so riled up over me messing around. 😁
