A friend said today “you can be overwhelmed & still be blessed!”
We sure have been SO blessed with our garden & harvests this year! And we are SO thankful!
But it also has been a little overwhelming trying to get it all taken care of in a timely manner so we don’t loose the harvest we have been blessed by with- plus juggle other life things- like just being a mom and dad to two young, strong willed, cowgirls! 🤪🥰

But we really are livin’the dream! Even during the tougher days- it’s all part of it and all worth it! And we get these sweet memories with the girls- who both LOVE helping with the corn, and really all things garden related🩷.
It’s hard work, but what worth having isn’t? 😉

It’s officially garden season full blast! And it’s already been a joy sharing it with the girls💕
Forever thankful to the good Lord for blessing us with this land and ability to raise our girls on it
Even if we were to not have a successful year of harvesting food out of the garden, I know there will be many memories made and shared as a family in the garden and that means the most❤️

🪴We are officially ready for garden season this year! 🪴
We might be a tad behind for some of the planting we want to do- but this is life, and we are doing all this with each full time jobs and raising two young wild cowgirls 💗 Learning to give myself some grace! It’s not in our timing anyways ☺️
I’am SO excited for this garden season… it’s only our second year really doing a garden and all the things that come with it. We are 100% still learning , but the only way to learn is to do! Just being in it at its completion of being fenced in and ground tilled, it just gave me so much peace.
Really praying this season is going to help with so much growth, learning and knowledge in so many ways! 🙏🏼
Stay tuned for more getting the garden ready reels/photos! We have lots to share- it’s been quite the process 🥰.
Are you doing a garden this year? Let us know below in the comments ⬇️

✨Rodeo fun is always a good time!✨
So very thankful and blessed to be able to raise our girls growing up in the rodeo community. And warms my heart seeing them enjoy and play and fun they have during the events.
This was just a few clips from the start of summer rodeo season a few weekends ago at Doswell, VA with DC Cattle 🐂

☀️Good Saturday Morning☀️
Remember to stop what your doing and have dance parties in your kitchen, by yourself, with your kiddos, with your significant other 😉 💕
This is my reminder~ and maybe for someone else also…. Having two (or even one-or more!) kiddos at a young age, while working , and trying to grow other dreams areas of your lives, and teach them all the things (manners, respect, etc lots of things the world is not) is 100% TOUGH at times.. but also is SO worth it, and it’s not always correcting and frustrating… sometimes it’s pure joy- dancing with your Da-Da in the kitchen with both girls one in each arm. And that, that is also teaching them and showing them love and creating precious memories that will last for both parents and kids forever♥️

”Happiness is hard to find
Letting everybody and their mother try to tell you what you’re worth
Oh, what you’re worth
When did you forget that the one who made you told you what you’re worth?
Repeat after me
I’m a blood bought, battle fought, all my shame long gone
Made new child of the King”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teaching her young about “farm to table” && allowing her to help cook because that’s how she learns and enjoys to help Mama (or Dada) cook.
We used our own tomato 🍅 sauce we canned this summer for our pasta dinner— it’s such a rewarding feeling and even more so when your child is excited about it as well!
Also teaching her the love of Jesus and that she is loved and a “made new child of the king” ♥️

💜Let them help if they want to, yes it will take longer and it might not get done exactly how it’s supposed to… but they will enjoy it and so will you ☺️ and it teaches them to learn hands on.

Abilene loves to help with most all things, but especially the dishes.. this day she actually asked to do the dishes before we went outside 🤣
Remember to let them be little, but to let them learn and allow them to do things even if it slows you down , you’ll miss it one day && your instilling good habits in your children for their future. Abilene won’t always want to do what Mama’s doing- but while she does now I’ll try to be the best example I can be for her (and still even when the days come she might not wanna “be like Mama”).
Don’t forget these littles are watching everything you do- and mimicking— let’s teach them less of what the world does and more respectable behaviors and self sustaining things.🥰

Abilene LOVES her chickens , and loves to help care for them too! Teaching her now about responsibilities that go with having land/animals , and the importance of taking proper care of them & the outcomes/reward that comes with it🥚.
✨All our egg sales go directly (we manage it😉) to Abilene~ and will be shared with Hadleigh once she’s a little older and can help care for them too— our goal is to have a AG~HJ egg stand set up along with supplying are already faithful buyers✨
We plan to upgrade our coop/chicken area this spring && add more chicks/chickens to the flock!
We want to hear what your favorite type of chicken is and why! Drop your answers in comments⬇️⬇️

Porch renovations!
More parts of the porch to fix up, including the fireplace we shared with y’all before… but that will probably be after winter !

🥚Abilene’s eggs here at 4G🥚
Abilene helps take care of the chickens, collect the eggs and sort the eggs into cartons!
Currently we just supply a few of my co workers with eggs. But our goal is to get more chickens && have an egg stand at our place— all the funds go to Abilene (right now we just put in savings for her. When Hadleigh gets older it will be for them both. 💕
Farm fresh eggs! 2.50$ a dozen.
