I'll be honest friends- I've had a really difficult spring/summer. To combat the awful, I've been throwing myself in to whole heartedly pursuing that which is good, true, and beautiful. Specifically, I've immersed myself in prayer and God's Word. I've listened to beautiful music, I've read wonderful books, and I've done a lot of crafting … Continue reading The Good, The True, The Beautiful
Wow. Allow me to pause for a moment to let my head stop spinning. Ok. It has been a whirlwind couple of days for us. We had a few fellas from church come out to help us put in the new floor. But what they actually did surpassed even my wildest expectations and honestly I'm … Continue reading Homestead Update and Kitchen Remodel Progress
Lots going on around the homestead lately! Here's a quick update before I jump back into the work. We're expanding our rabbitry by 4 new Silver fox buns today! That brings us to a total of 3 bucks and 2 does. The mother and father doe and buck produced 2 kits, one male one female. … Continue reading Homestead Update
I swear my biceps and shoulders are twice the size they were when I started these kitchen renovation projects. My elbow is just about out of grease. [Elbow related side note: I was playing soccer with my boys and they insisted on mama being keeper. I got an awesome save but my elbow landed on … Continue reading Kitchen Remodel: Sink Progress Part 2
We've owned goats for almost a full year. In that year, we've learned a LOT, made a lot of mistakes, and learned some more. One thing we decided to try after watching the goats forage last summer was to set up a coppice system for them. For those unfamiliar, a coppice is basically a grove … Continue reading Tree Hay: Establishing Coppices for Goats

The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Praise the name of Yahweh.Job 1:20-21 The month of May has been really rough … Continue reading Hard Loss
Praise the Lord, my husband finished his final week of seminary. That means it's PROJECT TIME ON THE HOMESTEAD! We have our back line of fence posts in, we've got flooring getting put in Friday, and a driveway guy coming the next week to repair/grade some of the damage caused by the big rains last … Continue reading Front Landscaping Makeover
This little guy was born 5/11/21 I'll be honest, I was a bit disappointed he wasn't a little doe; I was really hoping for a 7/8 Guernsey doe to breed Fonz to in the fall to improve the genetics of our herd. C'est la vie. On the other hand, with the AI success rate at … Continue reading Our New Baby Goat
It's been a weird and exhausting several weeks. Almost as if I've been watching things from a detached perspective. I attribute this sense which I used to struggle to describe to the presemce of God leading me and carrying me through otherwise difficult things. My brain and body want to quit, but miraculously, I am … Continue reading Grief and Gospel Hope
I caved. And here's my confession: I'm about to till my no-dig garden. Backstory: I wept the first time I watched the Back to Eden Film with Paul Gautschi. Wept. Because I was overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of his garden and the connectedness he had to God the Father through His creation. Beautiful. So … Continue reading Homesteader Guilt: Tilling My No-Till Garden
