When we were young and first married we never even thought about being intentional with our time together. I actually remember a specific time when we were visiting with some experienced married people in our community at an event and they were all discussing and kind of complaining actually about never having time to spend […]
We are surprising our littles with some new live hens that will lay EGGS for Easter! We brought home some chicks from school last year, then got a rooster and guess what? Nothing happened! Our chickens don’t lay eggs!! I know, I know laugh all you want… make fun of me for taking care of […]
When it comes to relationship advice, I don’t think there is a perfect answer. I heard someone ask another last week, “What do you hope and pray for about who your child will marry?” The answer was good, the guy said he simply hopes and prays that whoever his daughter marry’s will be open and […]
If you’ve ever been to the Ozarks, then you know that Spring and Fall are gorgeous here. They are the seasons we live for in these parts. One of our favorite adventures to look forward to in the Spring is mushroom hunting. It’s a big deal where we come from. Everyone waits for the first […]

My valentines hard at work. They love this holiday and so do I! Showing love and receiving love is what I believe makes the world go round. Kindness matters and makes a difference. How are you showing kindness this Valentine’s? We are planning to give cards + candy to friends and family. At the new […]
My husband is an avid outdoorsman. He has a great appreciation for nature and wild life. When we dated, he loved teaching me about the land and the waters and he has always had big dreams of us living off our land. He would hunt, fish, or gather garden goods, to prepare meals for […]
