Expressing Your Uniqueness
I’m a crafty sort of girl. I love to create. Anything! I love to design new websites, put together quilts, knit, crochet, make clothes for my daughter. Create new recipes and put new twists on old ones. Create new ways to help customers get better in touch with local, clean food. Anything that has to … Read the Rest
Duck, Duck, DUCK!
Both of my boys have started little businesses this year. Andrew got lambs in March and now Travis has taken on ducks. These are Khaki Campbell Ducks. Right now he has them in a feathernet and is using the pen we built for the sheep to lock them up at night. (The sheep are now … Read the Rest
Farmer’s Wife Quilt | In Progress
The kids and I are planting the garden today! Woohoo!! So maybe next week, we’ll have some pics to share of that. In the meantime, I thought I would share a picture of where I’m at in my farmer’s wife quilt. It’s a quilt made up of 111 blocks that are 6 inches each. Yes, … Read the Rest

Salt (the boy) is quite a bit smaller than Pepper and will probably be stunted his whole life. Such is the way sometimes with orphaned animals. … Read the Rest
Cherishing the Seasons
Everyone around me has been complaining about the weather. “It’s too cold for March.” Can I let you in on a little secret? I don’t mind the extra little bit of cooler weather. Last year, we had almost no winter at all and it felt like it come summer. (No rest. Kind of like a … Read the Rest
Farmer Boy
One of the joys of being a homeschool mom on a farm is that your children get the opportunity to experience “real farm life”. Our son, Andrew, has his very first REAL farming venture started. LAMBS! Andrew’s Uncle Jordan had these two adorable little lambs last weekend. They are not siblings, but both were abandoned … Read the Rest
How to find a Farmer
When talking about this post to some of the farm chicks, they said, “Oh, yeah, that’s a great idea. I’m sure there are lots of folks out there looking for a farmer.” It was said with grins and winks. “Am I missing something?” It took me a minute, but I suddenly realized that they were … Read the Rest
