I feel like I start out every single blog post by saying that I've been failing at blogging. And here we are again. It seems like it's been forever since I've sat down and updated you on anything. I just have a few too many irons in the social media fire. I'm one of those… Continue reading 31 Days of Corn
Sunday Snaps: April 8, 2018
I am so excited to share this week's photos! When I first started Sunday Snaps, I had two main goals: Share current photos that show what's happening around the farm, and Get better at using my camera. Obviously the first goal is pretty easy to accomplish. Any time I share photos, you get a small… Continue reading Sunday Snaps: April 8, 2018
Sunday Snaps: April 1, 2018
It's almost 5 o'clock and I'm trying to figure out where in the heck my weekend went! Don't you just hate when that happens? Sometimes I can blame it on being busy, but this weekend I'm afraid I spent more time sleeping than anything. Oh well, sometimes you just need a lazy weekend. I don't… Continue reading Sunday Snaps: April 1, 2018
Sunday Snaps: March 4, 2018
Sunday, we meet again. As I sit here watching Fixer Upper, drinking my coffee, and scrolling through photos, I can't ignore the fact that there are muddy paw prints on my kitchen floor, dirty dishes in the sink, and laundry chilling on the couch just waiting to be folded. I have a pretty hefty to-do… Continue reading Sunday Snaps: March 4, 2018
Letters From Our Adopted Classroom

The farmers and teachers work together to share letters, pictures, videos, and classroom visits to help give urban students a better understanding of agriculture and rural life. Last fall I signed up for the program and was paired with… Continue reading Letters From Our Adopted Classroom
Sunday Snaps: February 4, 2018
Happy Superbowl Sunday! For some, today is a day full of food, friends, and football. For me, it's more about sweatpants and napping until the Halftime Show. My dogs and I have even taken to calling it Snooze-per-bowl Sunday. I'm just not a big sports fan, ok? I can't even confidently tell you what teams… Continue reading Sunday Snaps: February 4, 2018
Saying Goodbye to Belle
I've thought a few different times about how I would write this post. I've been preparing for it since the day I bought Belle. I didn't think I would have to write it so soon, but here we are. Living on a livestock farm, I've become all too familiar with the hard reality that our… Continue reading Saying Goodbye to Belle
Flat Aggie Came to Visit!
We have had a very special visitor on the farm for the last two weeks! Flat Aggie, Flat Stanley's cousin, travels all over the United States visiting farms and ranches to learn about agriculture. We had the pleasure of hosting Aggie for a few weeks during farrowing season, so he learned all about the pigs… Continue reading Flat Aggie Came to Visit!
Confessions of a Military Sister
Ok, this is the third time I've tried writing this. Let's see if I can actually finish it this time. It has been an incredibly emotional couple of months. It seems like just yesterday Trey told us he was joining the Marines, and now he has already been gone two weeks. I'd be lying if… Continue reading Confessions of a Military Sister
4 Misconceptions About FB Act
I haven't shared a whole lot about Farm Bureau on my blog yet, but if you follow me on Facebook you may have noticed I'm a bit of a Farm Bureau nerd!
