I’m back and more awkward than ever! Nicole Ford Thomas 2024-06-21 | It’s been a while, but here’s the run down and here’s the plan moving forward. 👍🤞
Vlogmas Day 13 | Medic Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-12-14 | Just what it says in on the tin, friends. My apologies for phoning this one in.Http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Vlogmas Day 12 | Family Day Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-12-13 | It was family day here at Quill Cottage, with all the kids coming home for some festive fun and excitement. Sadly, we mostly just sat around and stared because y'girl has some sort of cold. To be sure it wasn't Covid, I took a test, but for real, it's just a cold. Life goes on.Http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Vlogmas Day 11 | Shopping Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-12-12 | We had to go out, but online shopping for everything is looking pretty good right about now. Between the crowds and the jam-packed stores, shopping is not my idea of a good time. Still we came home and relaxed, and I made good on my promise to learn how to play Fortnite with my family. Remind me to take Dramamine before my next lesson. Oof. http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Vlogmas Day 10 | Bottling Day Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-12-11 | Brewing your own beer can be a very rewarding pastime, especially if you love science and experimentation like we do. This is our most recent batch of Hefeweizen, my favorite type of beer, and sadly, our last batch with alcohol. I have recently learned that I am alcohol intolerant, so from here, we get to start tinkering with removing the alcohol from our beer. I'm excited and nervous at the same time! http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Vlogmas Day 9 | The Sun Returns Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-12-10 | After a dreary week, I was so happy to feel the sun on my skin. I bundled up and went outside with all the animals, working to burn all the fallen branches from the windstorm while Kyle put the winterizing plastic on the run for the chickens. They still have to have airflow, but the plastic (supported by the broken fence posts and 2x4s) will be enough to keep the draft down during the day so they can safely go out to exercise outside the coops. It was a very refreshing day. http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Vlogmas Day 8 | Be Gentle Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-12-09 | The last week has been tough. SAD is kicking my butt in ways I couldn't have expected, so I used my last few brain cells to take care of myself. I'm still not out of the woods but at least I don't smell like I'm from the woods anymore. http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by the cool folks at http://epidemicsound.com
Vlogmas Day 2 | Hygge of sorts. Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-12-03 | Welp. I hecked that right up.http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Vlogmas Day 1 | December blows. Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-12-02 | Welcome December! You arrived with such, uh, gusto that you took out trees and a fence! Repairs were not part of the schedule today, but if we got the worst out of the way and it’s all smooth sailing from here, I’m not gonna complain.Http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Day -5 | Vlog-Más | Pre-Vlogmas Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-11-28 | It was a dark and stormy Sunday, so we kept the house calm and baked cupcakes for the neighbors. I also started wrapping gifts! This one is for the kiddo’s dorm roommate, so it had to go with her back to school when she left this afternoon.Http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Day -6 | Vlog-Más | Pre-Vlogmas Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-11-27 | With just one day left with the kiddo before she goes back to college, we went to get the Christmas tree. Thankfully, everyone was able to come help decorate! http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Day -7 | Vlog-Más | Pre-Vlogmas Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-11-26 | The second best part of today was taking our sixth hike of the season at Silver Creek Metro Park. The first best part was coming home to make cookies and watch Christmas cartoons!http://nicolefordthomas.commusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Day -8 | Vlog-Más | Pre-Vlogmas Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-11-25 | The countdown continues! With the turkey business out of the way for another year, it was time for Christmas at Quill Cottage! We got the gal all dressed up in her Yuletide finery and look forward to even more bringing of the spirit this season! http://nicolefordthomas.com (New posts beginning now!)Music by http://epidemicsound.com
Day -9 | Vlog-Más | Pre-Vlogmas Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-11-23 | With just over a week until December starts, bringing the first quarter of my productive year along with it, I have a lot of roads to pave. So much gets done during the months of rest, but it’s all cerebral, whereas the other three quarters are physical. Making the path as smooth as possible will go a long way to making this time, especially the holidays, less stressful.http://nicolefordthomas.com (Blog is now active!)Music by http://epidemicsound.com
Day -10 | Vlog-más | Pre-Vlogmas Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-11-22 | Another day closer to Yule and Vlogmas! http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Vlog-más | Pre-Vlogmas | Day -11 Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-11-21 | Time to brine the turkey loins! We use this recipe every year to many compliments, despite not celebrating Thanksgiving ourselves. The overnight low is slated to be 17*f so we make sure our flock was settled in snuggly for the cold night. After a delicious Sunday dinner, I made a batch of my favorite secret recipe cookies! http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Day -12 | Vlog-más | Pre-Vlogmas Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-11-20 | In order to make all those videos of making Christmas goodies, you first have to buy the ingredients. And you can’t forget to include your flock of dinosaurs in the merriment! Http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com
Pre-Vlogmas 2022 | Vlog-más | Day -13 Nicole Ford Thomas 2022-11-19 | December is too far away, so I’m observing (and making up) Vlog-más, the season of more vlogs! I’m counting down to the first day of Vlogmas 2022 by showing my end-of-autumn daily activities. http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by http://epidemicsound.com

Summer evening at Quill Cottage Nicole Ford Thomas 2021-08-31 | Our evening starts with an early dinner of vegetarian tacos before we go take care of Mo, the horse. Back home, we relax on the porch until mosquitos chase us inside, where we wrap up our evening by reading and watching documentaries. Gotta make the most of the daylight while we still can. Autumn is just around the corner.http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic in this video was graciously provided by my dear friend Alex. You can find this and more of his songs on his Spotify page: open.spotify.com/artist/5KTi6qqi8lYqe9O6MuG4cJ?si=AQ9R2QDvQRGri_2MsJ1TSQ&dl_branch=1&nd=1Dang, that is quite a URL. It's worth clicking, though. I love this guy.
Summer morning at Quill Cottage Nicole Ford Thomas 2021-08-23 | August is a busy month for birthdays. In this video, I make a manicotti dinner for my dad's birthday. I dropped it off in the afternoon so he could toss it in the oven and bake it when he was ready, ensuring a hot, bubbly dinner made with love. I'm also making a pie crust, which I later turned into an experimental peach pie. It was a quiet, rainy morning spent indoors.http://nicolefordthomas.com

Upholster? I dont even KNOW her! | The Witch of Quill Cottage | Winter Project Nicole Ford Thomas 2021-01-04 | Since we're cooped up in the house all winter, it helps to have projects to keep our hands and minds busy until the planting season returns. When I saw the neighbors cart this gorgeous chair outside, I knew it would be my project. I've never upholstered anything, let alone a faux leather chair, but let's see what we come up with, hey? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.http://nicolefordthomas.comMusic by Steven O'Brien:http://stevenobriencomposer.bandcamp.com
Snow Day | The Witch of Quill Cottage Nicole Ford Thomas 2020-12-28 | Tracking our beloved stray, Moo, to find out where she lives during the winter.
