Let’s be real. Life can through curve balls. Today I head the statement, “waiting on time”. As tonight has progressed that statement has been on my mind. Waiting on time. There is a cute shirt that I want to buy and it says, “in the waiting GOD is working”. The more I thought about it…

Awake my soul Holy Fire stir within me Take me from where I’ve been to where I need to be Striving on my own to resting in your peace Warring in the flesh, giving up ground, laying down authority No more my soul cries out, no more! I’ll be who you say I’ll walk in…

Monday – No co-op. Day off from school. We did some playing outside. Lovey fell off the swing and got a little bruised up. He was digging sticks out of his shorts, but overall he was good to go. Happy lost a tooth that night. It was so loose and his adult tooth was growing…

Tuesday – This was a school day. It was the first “full day” for us. We had been adding a subject daily and Tuesday was the first day to do them all. We are definitely going to have to fine tune things. When we were feeding pigs we found a tiny toad. We caught it…

Co-op day! The boys and I were up early today. Bible stories, cleaning, and getting ready have dominated our morning. I know that once we get finished with co-op and back home most of the day will be gone. Piggies and chickens were doing well this morning. So were the cats and dogs. We are…

Wednesday was day 2 of our first week of school. It went well. We did Bible and handwriting. We 3D printed camels. We didn’t design these, but the kids really like them. I repainted our little hallway area. It was some off white color. Now it is creamy mushroom. I really like it. Before. After.…

The animals were all well on Sunday. We started our day feeding them all. The piggos are doing a good job trampling down wooded areas for us. Sweet S’mores enjoying a poplar snack. I love how these two tag along together. Sunday we didn’t go to church. There has been some sickness going around and…

Saturday morning we all woke up around 6. We had stayed up late baking Friday night and we were ready to head to the bake sale. Happy was not so happy about being up early and he was basically in tears over being tired. I pointed out he should be glad we home-school and he…

Thank Jesus for Friday! C.N.R. has a 3 day weekend. I am so happy to have him home. This morning was a little different. I woke up to a phone call from my grandpa. I had accidentally pocket dialed him yesterday and he called me this morning. It was good to hear his voice, to…

Let me think about the last few days because I sure haven’t posted. Wednesday. I was surprised to wake up with my C.N.R. He had a floating holiday and decided to use it. That was pleasant because I love it when he is home. It was church night, but we didn’t go. C..N.R. had an…

This morning I got up earlier to try to get a head start. I hadn’t been up long before kids were waking up with me. Happy and Sunshine were up and going. Last night we put boston butts in the smoker. This morning I checked them and pulled them out to cool. When they were…

Saturday was a really good day. We got up and took care of animals and headed to town for the day with the kiddos. They all got prizes for reading. They had so much fun at the store picking out what they wanted. Lots of Legos. We went to get filament for the printer. That…

It feels like it has just been wild here. Tuesday night I was so tired. On Wednesday the kids and I hung out at home. They slept over with their grandparents because I had to do more cleaning on Thursday. We were all going to go to church Wednesday, but C.N.R. has been so tired.…

Tuesday was nonstop all day. We had to go to town to take a kiddo to an appointment, pick up an order, and then go do some volunteer cleaning. The animals were good yesterday. C.B. was much easier to catch to feed. He enjoys the food in peace once we can get him to it.…

This morning when I woke up, Sunshine Girl crawled in bed with me. We cuddled and placed a pick-up order. Then she did a Bible story on my phone and we colored in her Barbie coloring book. It was wonderful. The boys stayed downstairs on the couch and watch Owlegories. We went down stairs. Brothers…

Hubby and I got up and fed the animals. We had coffee and left early for church. He needed to work on something at church for a bit before it got started. I was able to share my testimony with a friend about how God is moving and working in me, my family, and homestead.…

Yup, today is Saturday! It has been a busy, yet not busy day. We all got up and going today. The kiddos had a swim party to attend. They got to swim for an hour and a half and they loved it. Sunshine Girl is getting better at jumping in. She is still holding onto…

This morning we did our farm chores along side a nasty smell. The dogs retrieved the dead ground hog from the woods. Oh my goodness. The carcass is going to have to be burned. The kids thought it was a deer leg. Nope. This shell of an animal has teeth. Anyways, the piggos are doing…

This morning we slept in some. We were quick to get going. We did Bible stories and Bible verses. We went out to the shop and loaded up some filament for a 3D print. Sunshine Girl is getting a pink and white water dragon. Lovey Boy fed the cats and we headed up the yard…

It is a cozy, rainy day. It would be a great day to sleep in, watch a movie, read a book, or just relax. I struggle with wanting to be productive on a rainy day. Our household is still on a T.V. ban; so no movie. This will be lifted when the kids can get…

It has been raining on and off all day. There was no rain, then I looked out and it was dumping buckets of rain. A minute later the rain had ended. Farm life has had to work around the weather. Piggos got a container of scraps today. We noticed that they are super excited to…

This morning came early-ish. After my alarm went off I went downstairs to pray and read The Word. Nothing like coffee and Jesus to start my day. I’ve been reading about the Proverbs 31 woman and looking into how I can apply those teachings to myself. It is a good meditation. It is a self-check…

Sunday morning started with coffee, food, and overalls. It was church day and we got up and got ready for church. Sunshine Girl and Lovey Boy both wore their overalls and were “overall buddies”. It was good to be in the house of the Lord. Worship went well, I can’t tell you what songs were…

Today was a full day. We had a birthday party. We picked up friends, cake, and ice. Then we headed to the park. The park party was a lot of fun. We ended up being an hour early for the party we were throwing, but it was alright. Friends and sunshine are good for us.…

I have to think about yesterday. What did we do? … We ate homemade bread. I cleaned the front porch and burned boxed in the burn barrel. Yay, clean up! It is hard to stay on top of the household things sometimes, but I sure do feel better when things are cleaned up. We took…

Along with children, chickens, and pigs we also feed sour dough starter. This starter was given to us from a friend at church. It was from Baker Creek. This has been tough stuff. It has been starved, fed, shared, and kept on going. Pretty cool too because Baker Creek is where we like to buy…
-
There was a lot to get done today. Kids up and fed, Bible stories, calls to make, bread to bake, cleaning. We had to order groceries and Amazon. My tiny farmers needed appropriate gear. That means tall socks, boots, overalls. Lots of good stuff. And of course caring for the animals. I went up with…

The pigs were a good push in the right direction. Excitement and motivation. These sweet piggos have been residing in our garden area. The hope is that they would work it for it us. They would eat the plants and weeds that were in overgrowth. Nope. They don’t care at all to forage those plants.…

I had recently been praying over our land and what we were supposed to be doing. Slowly this year our homestead has been added to and has been seeing growth. Something about those pigs. I don’t know why, but I have been oddly excited to add them to the homestead. I planned and eagerly waited…

This summer has just been a touch on the wild side. Unexpected travel. Time away from home. Having sweet loved ones monitor and check in on our homestead while we were away. We were in the thick of this and a friend posted on Facebook about having Kune Kune pigs for sale. C.N.R. and I…

Introducing our chicken coop on wheels. We purchased the plans from Cotton River Farm. We choose this coop because it could be moved and because of the nesting box. The eggs would roll down to us. They wouldn’t get dirty from the hens nesting on them. We didn’t want the chickens to be stationary. It…

Habakkuk 2:2 – And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. Proverbs 29:18 – Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law. Jordan Feliz – The River – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maT4phfTXR4 I can still…
