t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

From Their Mouths...

Brent....

Brent: Baby I really need help. I need a break.
Me: Sweetheart you just woke up from a nap an hour ago.
Brent: Rebecca I am like a union worker. I need a 15 minute break every hour. And a snack.


Ellery...
Singing "Oh an ostrich went yodeling on a mountain so high..."


Callista...

Said matter-of-factly as Ellery cowers in the shadow.
"So Dad here's the deal. If you give me an Ellery a nectarine then we will go to bed. Because we are soooo hungry and this is how it works."

Emmett...

"Wan touch Ma. Touch Ma! Wan touch. "
This as he scratches the delicate skin off the back of his knees ridden with eczema. Poor lamb.
