When I look back at a lot of the decisions we’ve made since having children, many of them come back to the home. We chose to try homebirth with our first child and it completely changed the trajectory of birth for our family. We have since had all four of our children at home and…
She has always had an easy way with animals. She doesn’t spook easily, unless Abby the goat is nearby, but then again that goat frightens me and I’m not three feet tall. Overall, she has always taken well to animals and they have, in turn, taken well to her. Her personality reminds me of a…
Though I often wake early, it is rarely to the idyllic barn chores one might associate with the homestead life. When I wake is determined entirely by babes, as is much of my life these days. Mothering newborns is a surrendering of any and all preconceived notions of how my time ought to be spent….
Last week Joshua slept for longer than ten minutes without Mama’s arms around him. I then found these little ladies snoozing peacefully in their beds. Neither of these rarest of occasions has repeated itself, making the photographic evidence even more precious.
It might just be me, but I find the end of pregnancy so much more exhausting than those early days of new, sweet smelling, always-feeding baby. Perhaps it is because we’ve always had people waiting, and waiting, and waiting for our wee ones to come into the world and, personally, I prefer to not put…
The garlic has been safely dried and tucked away for quite some time now, but I just came across some of these pictures from the garlic harvest. They remind me of something that many people seem to miss, when they see things from afar. All too often people comment on how much Annabelle looks like…

So beautiful!! Amazing that your young sons already know how to mix cement and “plant” fence posts! So much more useful than knowing how to play video games as most kids do. Bless you guys!!

It may or may not be helpful, but every wooden fence post installed on our four acres was done a bit differently… The holes were dug then the post placed exactly as it was to stand.

They are still tight and standing strong after 22 years.
