Well, hello there! 👋🐦

Just caught this little guy hanging out in the garden today. ❤️

One of my favorite things about living out here is that there’s always something to see if you slow down long enough to notice it.

🍓🍦 Breakfast ice cream?!

Okay... it's basically a smoothie that's been frozen! 😂

With a few picky eaters in the house, I've learned to get creative. This is one of my favorite ways to get some good nutrition into breakfast while giving the kids something they actually get excited about.

And it's made at home with just 4 ingredients, so I know exactly what's going into it. ❤️

Want to see how we make it? 👀🍓

🌱 There's something special about gathering food from a garden you planted, tended, and prayed over.
Every harvest may look a little different, but each one is a blessing. 🤎
Thankful for the food, the work, and the hands that make it possible. 🍅🥒🌱

Some days at Heatons Acres look a little different. ❤️
We're working this morning, and Rocky has decided his job is to make sure I don't get too much work done. 😂🐾
Honestly, every workday is better with a furry coworker.

🍅 One of the best parts of canning salsa is enjoying a fresh bowl before the rest goes into jars.
There's just something about fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, and herbs straight from the garden that can't be beat.
We canned the rest for the pantry, but we definitely couldn't resist enjoying some while it was fresh! 🌿❤️
Are you a chips-and-salsa person, or do you eat it another way?

🌼 Sometimes the best part of walking through the garden is spotting a little orange face peeking out from the wildflowers.
This has become one of Finnegans favorite places to spend the day, and honestly, I can't think of a prettier spot. 🤎🐈
It's the little moments like this that make homestead life so special.
Does anyone else's cat have a favorite spot in the yard? 🌿

🥒 What's Growing at Heatons Acres | Day 4: Cucumbers
It's been a busy few days between VBS and a hectic weekend, but we're finally back in the garden! 💚
We love growing cucumbers because there's nothing better than picking one fresh off the vine. They're also one of our favorite things to turn into homemade pickles so we can enjoy a taste of summer all year long.
Did you know the more you harvest cucumbers, the more they'll continue to produce? That's one reason they're one of our favorite crops to grow!
🍅 Be sure to come back tomorrow as we continue our "What's Growing at Heatons Acres" series with tomatoes!
Do you prefer your cucumbers fresh or as pickles? 🥒

Yesterday's flooding changed our plans a bit, but we're thankful to be back in the garden today and continuing our series.
Did you know blueberry bushes can produce fruit for 30 to 50 years? Ours are still getting established, and this fall they'll be moving to their own dedicated spot where they can thrive for years to come.
Be sure to check back this evening when we share what's growing next! 🌱

Green beans are one of our favorite crops to grow. They're easy to care for, produce all season, and are perfect for canning so we can enjoy them year-round.
