Well look at that, our little John decided to come early, and on the feast day of Saint John the Apostle no less, Dec 27. Little man and mama are doing awesome.
Can we also admire our 9-year olds note on the wall as I reminded them to not forget about taking care of Toby, our 11-yr old dog, while mom and dad were at the hospital 😂😂

I am officially 37 weeks pregnant! And my motivation is low 😂🫠
So I told the kids we could get out Christmas decorations if they would clean the house first, and they did!!! -Washed windows
-vacuumed
-cleaned bathrooms
-put away extra “stuff”
And then fully decorated!!!
I keep telling friends that being pregnant and having another baby while having a 9yr old and 7 1/2yr old is a game changer!!
So grateful for my hardworking and loving kiddos (and hubby 😉)💗

Have you heard the saying “the best gift you can give your child is a sibling” ?
I have heard it many times, and it has always elicited the thought of the beauty that our children can have multiple friends to play with within their own home, to learn from, etc…
BUT
Today a new thought hit me (Adam took all the kids to Home Depot and I had time for quiet thoughts, a rarity 😆), with each child, I am asked to give and stretch, to let go of more of the selfishness that still rests in me. I am asked to let go of my own vanity and materialism. I am asked to be even more intentional with devoting time and attention to my husband.

I am asked, and shaped, into being a more giving mother, which, I think, makes me a better mother.

But, Lord help me!!! It can be a painful process. Sending out prayers for the all mamas out there, and especially for the dear ones who are also expecting babies 💗💙💗💙💗💙

Signs of a good friend: went to her house today, started nosing through her bookshelf like I always do 📚
And she said “oh, look through these! Take whatever you want”
……..
I am a glutton

Welcome to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!!!
Adam: “I’m going to say something controversial…. I’d take this over the Outer Banks (NC) any day”

Yesterday we drove from Traverse City, MI north. We crossed a huge bridge connecting Lake Michigan to Lake Huron and the vastness of each lake is completely enchanting. We drove along the northern edge of Lake Michigan with its sandy beaches and dunes on our left and remote pine-filled woods on our right. We crossed the interior where the remoteness of the area is obvious. It makes you consider how people prepare for a brutal winter and signs of homesteading are obvious.
I love a road trip almost anywhere, but the sense of driving north, and into a more and more remote terrain just make my heart leap. Add in fresh water lakes and it is just perfection.
10/10 would recommend
WHAD UP LAKE SUPERIOR!!!!

When the “baby” has a birthday in the middle of packing, everything halts to make a birthday pie 🥧

Happy 3rd birthday to our sweet Maria!

Temporary moves are funny, what do you bring? What do you leave?

I decided I can leave my carhartt on the farm as well as fence line materials.

Which survival, gardening and homeopathic books is a harder decision!

As well as how many jars from my collection 🙈

How do you narrow down the “need to have “ from the “nice to have”??!!

Friends, are you looking to get yourself a Scottish Highlander?
This gal is named Darby and she would love to come make your farm home. She has been a good cow to us, and easy mother to her calves, but we have enough uncertainty about the length of our upcoming military orders and feel it best to consider selling Darby-girl.

Let me know if you are interested, please share!

Where it Begins

Adam and I have had a frequent daydream for the past 6+ years of marriage. We would talk about my parents small farm overlooking Waneta Lake and how beautiful it was, how great a childhood it was for me growing up there, and how wonderful it would be to follow that lifestyle. But of course there were important things like jobs, paying off student loans, having babies, etc. to distract us. We became very interested in knowing where our food came from after watching documentaries like Food Inc., Farmageddon, Fed Up, Hungry for Change, Cowspiracy, Forks over Knives.. the list probably goes on. Anyway, it was easy to see that a movement is beginning and many others are concerned with our food production systems. I love food, so I wanted to find the best ways to feed our family healthy meals, but on a greater scale to share that with others! We decided July 2019 to move back to my family farm to help my parents, as among other factors my step-dad suffered a life-changing injury. As unfortunate and emotional as his injury has been, it has been the catalyst for Adam and I to rethink many pieces of our life and reordering what is truly most important. Please join us as we begin this adventure. We dream of selling beef, pork and (potentially) poultry from pasture-raised animals, using high-intensity rotational grazing that is wonderful for the animals and regenerative for the land. I love to have a garden and wonder about having a CSA garden to provide healthy produce to others. It is all still new, but if you’re interested in buying food from us, offering insight or support, or just following along, thanks for being with us!!! Blessings, Mary
