I've been meaning to share the before and afters of our home renovation but I have been so terrible at organizing pictures that it would take an entire day to get them in order. For that I apologize! I do want to show you what our wood stove area and living room looks like, because … Continue reading A before and happily ever after
I've been a busy little bee lately, and it feels like I get nothing accomplished. That's life right? This year has been a total disaster as far as my food growing plans went, and other stuff I guess too. We had a terribly cold spring with lots of late frost. Then, the grasshoppers and squash … Continue reading A Drone & Other Shenanigans
We have been fortunate enough to meet our neighbors on both sides of us and they are both wonderful people! Not only are they wonderful people but they share the very same values, hopes, goals and vision as us. We feel incredibly blessed by that! One of our neighbors, Ana and Cory, are doing wonders on their … Continue reading Neighbors Homestead
A lot has happened since my last blog post here. We went from being uncertain if we wanted to go through with the full purchase/payoff of our land, to making the full payoff (hallelujah), to having to separate our family for special reasons, to making progress on the home renovations and now being uncertain again … Continue reading Progress and Uncertainty
This is kind of a late late post. See, back in March, we were getting ready to start digging out an area for the ducks to have a pond. Before we could even begin, one of the ducklings was bitten by a snake and passed. We were so sad and angry for not hurrying up. … Continue reading Duck Pond

He's working Saturday, hopefully just a half day. Friday's are also grocery days. He calls me while … Continue reading I’m making bread y’all!
Wouldn't it be boring if there wasn't something new coming up in your day to day? It would be extremely boring especially when you don't have any neighbors or people visiting you on occasion of which we have neither. Living here is a perfect blend of drama and adventure between our animals, wildlife and us … Continue reading Always something…
It's snowing as I write this. Still, Spring is around the corner! The birds are singing, when the weather is nice of course, and the bugs are slowly popping up. I. Cannot. Wait. This year, we are growing a garden. Something we didn't do last year Spring time. We missed out on growing tomatoes and … Continue reading Spring around the corner
I made making a run and new coop for the chickens a priority at the moment because at the rate we are losing chickens we will have none soon. Also, they keep flying into the small garden area and uncovering the ground from the mulch. If you've been following us you know that we used … Continue reading Coop Sweet Coop
Sometimes things don't always work out the way you planned they would, and thats ok, nothing in this world is perfect. Especially when you're not organizing and prioritizing those plans to begin with. Things dont happen when we want them to, how we want them to etc. if we are not following through. Its still … Continue reading LESSONS, GOALS, PLANNING
