December updates on the farm. I had realized this week that I haven’t wrote any monthly updates since September. Whoops! Life has a way of just happening and the past few months have been nothing short of crazy town. *Please note this blog post contains affiliate links.

New Years On The Farm
Read moreNew Years on the farm. What a time to be alive. The new year brings about so many things for so many people. Most of us have goals we want to accomplish the coming year and dreams we’re striving for. Our family is no different, but our focus this year is grass and garden. We spent our New Year’s Day walking around the 60 acres we are blessed to be…

Thursday Ramblings
Read moreI had a hard mental day the other day. I just did. There was no fighting it, I just had to feel it and feel it all. Rose colored glasses we put on a lot of times hinder our vision to see the truth and the truth is exactly what we need at that moment. Eyes to see, emotions to feel, and then we can gain perspective and put our…

Letting Go Of Perfection
Read moreLetting go of perfection. I had an hour long FaceTime conversation with a friend yesterday. It was glorious, uninterrupted, and just what my heart needed. Even though we now live 3 hours away from each other, we didn’t skip a beat. It had been a while since we had last talked and we spoke all about what had been going on in our lives and the lives of the ones…

The 4 Gift Rule
Read moreAs a single mom for 7 years, Christmas was spent over indulging my two children in a ridiculous way. The bottom of the tree was filled to the brim and most times spilled out across the entire living room. The 4 gift rule came into play a few years ago. *Please note this blog post contains affiliate links. If a purchase is made through one of my links, I earn…

Why Our Family Uses Essential Oils
Read moreOur family has been an avid essential oil user since 2013 when I joined Young Living. Just like most families, we wanted a different way to treat, heal, and live without always grabbing conventional treatments of medications, cleaners, and personal care products. I had always loved holistic approaches to life, but it wasn’t until I graduated for nursing school, that my passion came full force. *Please note this blog post…

You can read all about our July updates here. THE CHICKEN SITUATION Well, to make a very long story short, we are culling our chicken flock. This was not an easy decision but a well thought out one. First,…

On A Monday
Read moreI’m writing…on a Monday. That can only mean one thing…kids are back in school. This post will be a lot different than our regular scheduled programing of farm chores, livestock, and garden updates. It’s going to be me. It’s going to be what I wrote about for years…parenting. I CAN BREATHE New little clean back to school clothes on that they have picked out, their hair “just right,” lunches packed…

July Updates On The Farm
Read moreI know I say this every time we do a farm update, but it’s been busy lol. The gardens, the livestock, the home…all of it. July updates on the farm. CONSISTENT EGGS The kids and I took a quick trip to Pigeon Forge (more on that later) and when we got back home…the egg situation was insane. Five days of eggs on this farm is no joke and most of…

May Updates On The Farm
Read moreOur first pastured fenced, adding more chickens, and anxiously awaiting our first eggs…May updates on the farm. I’m not gonna lie, it’s getting harder and harder to blog frequently. There is something to always do on the farm and squeezing time in to write (even though it’s one of my favorite things) is difficult. Just this morning as I was filling up waters for all the animals, I kept thinking…
