Update
Where to begin!? My normal life and routine have been put on hold for the last several weeks. I painted our office which meant letting my house go for a week and a half and painting, painting, painting, during nap times and when Kent was in the mood to play on his own. The painting […]
Baby Shower Pictures: Farm Theme
Even though the shower was 6 months ago I saw this post today and wanted to link up and show how wonderful the decorations were at my shower. It was great! The cake was made to match the invitations which I got as a print your own customized .pdf file here. I highly recommend the […]
Baby’s Place on the Farm
I’m guest posting today over at my friend Abbie’s blog, Farmer’s Daughter. I am a farmer’s wife. That means I have to do the things a farmer’s wife does: Feed cows. Herd sheep. Collect eggs. Garden and can. Drive tractors and bale hay. Run dear farmer husband to and fro. Pick up feed. This year […]
Bedside Breastfeeding Station Checklist
When I was pregnant I saw mention here and there of setting up a little bedside breastfeeding station with snacks and magazines. I never came across a comprehensive list to help me set one up. I thought it might be nice to have a list here for my own reference and for all my pregnant […]

Here’s Your Nudge…
If you’re like me, you intend to get in the Bible more regularly. It sounds so nice in theory: sipping on your morning coffee tea while reading a passage and mulling it over. Quiet words with God. Starting your day with a fresh perspective and the reassurance that comes with knowing He is there at […]
Still here…
Just popping in to say I’m still here. I’m still doing my baking day and working out the kinks in my routine. I’ve been taking lots of pictures so if I get the chance to update I’ll have things to share. We had the last of our meat chickens processed this week so I’ve been […]
