FarmLife Tuesday ~
December 9, 2014 by 1 Comment
Well, this week’s FarmLife Tuesday is a bit boring as it was work in the shop week. I kind of tend to avoid the first week when hubby heads to the shop to actually work on equipment during our down time. Why? Because it is kind of a HUGE mess. He spends this first week […]

November 24, 2014 by 1 Comment
As I sit, silently begging baby to take a nice long nap, I wonder what the rush is? Why? Why do mom’s want to rush? Rush to the next nap time, bedtime, time away from these gifts God has given us? How do we manage to lose the true Priorities of a Mom’s Heart? Why is […]

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
