The Tate Family Homestead

Today has been a rough day. Not only did I have to say goodbye to my baby girl as she left the country to begin her adventure, but my MS decided to flare up too. I'm not sure if it's the heat, the stress, or just my emotions catching up with me, but today my body is reminding me to slow down. I've been trying to rest and take it easy, and one thing that has truly touched my heart is how much my animals seem to know when I'm not feeling well. They've been extra clingy and loving today. Even the kitten refuses to leave my side and has decided my resting spot belongs to both of us. ❤️

Today is one of those bittersweet mama and daddy moments. Our baby is on her way to Scotland to begin a new adventure, and while our hearts are so proud, they are also feeling the weight of knowing she’ll be away from us for over a month. This is the longest we’ve ever been apart, and if I’m being honest, it’s hard on both Dad and me.

We are asking for prayers—for safe travels, for courage, for new friendships, for unforgettable memories, and for peace in our hearts while she’s away. Watching your child spread their wings is beautiful, but it also reminds you just how quickly time goes by.

Baby girl, be brave, explore, learn, laugh, and soak up every moment. We are so incredibly proud of the young woman you’ve become. This is your time to shine, and even from across the ocean, our love and support go with you every step of the way.

You’ve got this, sweetheart. We’ll be cheering you on from home. ❤️✈️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This breed has quickly become one of my favorites because I’m truly enjoying how sweet and gentle they are. Their personalities make them such a joy to have around, and their beautiful color patterns make each one feel unique and special. Watching them grow and seeing their gorgeous feathers every day has made me appreciate them even more. 🐔❤️

Late last night I was having a hard time falling asleep. Meanwhile, ol’ Maverick was sprawled out on the rug snoring away like he didn’t have a single bill to pay, chore to do, or responsibility in the world. Must be nice. 😂

It got me wondering, do dogs dream? And if they do, what in the world are they dreaming about? Unlimited treats? My cats they actually catch? Running through endless fields with zero recall? Maybe Maverick was out there in dreamland winning " Best Dog of the Year” while I was staring at the ceiling what all needs to be done in the morning! 🐾🤣

If I had to pick one, I’d choose a chicken 🐔—mostly because they have way more personality than people expect. They’re curious, dramatic, social, and every breed feels a little different. Some follow you around like tiny supervisors, some are independent, and some act like they run the whole farm.

I especially love breeds like:

* Blue Laced Red Wyandotte — gorgeous feather patterns and lots of personality
* Ameraucana — beautiful colored eggs and friendly vibes

Knowing your homestead posts… I have a feeling chickens might already be high on your list too 😊🐣
