Birthday Week!
Another year older this week! Poor Scott suffered appendicitis on his 32nd birthday. I would definitely say I faired much better on mine. My birthday tradition the past few years has been taking advantage of all my favorite freebies you get for your special day. I...
Puppy Love
New babies on the farm! Meet Bo and Ellie, our 10 week old Great Pyrenees puppies. They are our new livestock guardians in training. We just love them! The kiddos enjoy playing tag and chase with them. Ava and Shep also like to strum their paw patrol guitar and sing...
Big Piney Trail
We took advantage of a gorgeous day last week to do some off roading in the mountains. It was a beautiful trail in the Big Piney recreation area. The views from the overlook are so stunning! I cannot believe I have lived in Arkansas for all my life and haven't seen...
The New Year: 2021
2020 was definitely a year of difference for our family. We sold our house of 4,000 square feet and moved into our tiny house of 400 square feet. We lived in Branson, MO for the beginning of the year. We experienced a real flood and came home to a place we have worked...
A Birthday & Christmas in the Same Week
As a mom, this is always the most exhausting week of the year for me. I know it is not entirely my fault that Ava's birthday is 3 days before Christmas. My due date with her was suppose to be the 27th, but she wasn't waiting around for that. So, I have tremendous mom...
Farmer’s Blessing Vision
Got extra egg cartons? Please save them! When we first started our farm, we ordered 19 baby chicks. We lost one baby chick, but have maintained 18 so far. Everyone questioned why so many especially because our daughter Ava has an egg allergy. We believe she has...
Joy Riding in December
There has been both joy and pain this week. Because I am not one to keep my focus on the down, I will focus on what has been good this week. The weather through the week has been gorgeous. We decided to take advantage of that and get out for a joy ride with the...
“Decision December”
Since we spend a great deal of time outdoors and it is unfortunately not always sunny and 75, I invested in some insulated outdoor wear for the kiddos. Ava's looks quite big on her, but my choices for sizing were 4T and Youth Small with nothing in between. I opted for...
Thankful Hearts
In honor of Thanksgiving we asked our kids this week what they are thankful for and they were not short on kid answers to that question. Ava said she was thankful for her cousin Sophia (no mention of her brother), her pillow, her chickens, and grilled cheese...
New Chapter: The Barn Renovation
2020 has been a ridiculous year, so keeping with that theme we have found our next renovation project. Isn't she beautiful? Our family fell in love with this barn. The kids especially fell in love with the silo. The goal with this barn is to salvage as much as...
