    Oh, those little kitties can be indoor kitties and go out just long enough to get mice and do their business. They will always come back in and stay warm.

    Kristen, I think you need to give in and allow those kittens to become indoor cats. The girls love them and it is very cold outside. The cats will be mousers for you in the house.

      It would be lovely if they did that, but I suspect that they won’t. They will be as intended, unneutered barn cats.

      We are still intending them to be barn cats, but we will be neutering them.

      I love cats but haven’t gotten 1 in years due to hair and smell. I don’t blame her. I’m sure she will always make sure they’re warm and sage in the cold months. Also as long as the kids keep interacting with them they’ll still be pets and get to come in from time to time!

I grew up as #2 of 6 Girls and your girls remind me so much of me helping out with all of my little sisters…I was 11 when our youngest was born so I was constantly playing ‘2nd Momma’ to all of them! Your girls had so much fun creating with you, you could see the joy in their faces! Such a wonderful holiday tradition and family togetherness you are creating with them, Kristen! Those kittens are so adorable; loved seeing them romp around with each other…your beautiful crafts and projects came out so nice! Thank you for sharing! Have a blessed Holiday Season with your precious family! 🎄 ✨ 🍊 🍎 🌟 😊

Please know that you are doing the best you can as far as cleaning and organizing your home. I wish I realized at an early age how important it is to spend TIME with your girls.. Pat yourself on the back girl! You’re doing a wonderful job! Also where did you get your Christmas tree. It’s so pretty. Love all your videos.
