People are always asking me, “What did y’all do this weekend?” ❤️
The truth is, at the farm, there really isn’t such a thing as a weekend off. There is always something to do, something to learn, and usually something messy happening! 😂🐄
But today was one of those days that reminded me just how **truly blessed we are**.
After milking, we separated cream and made fresh homemade **ice cream, yogurt, butter, and cheese**. 🧈🍦🥛🧀 We also rendered beef tallow that we’ll soon be turning into homemade soap! 🧼
These may seem like simple things, but to me, they are so much more. They are time spent working side by side, teaching our kids, learning old-fashioned skills, laughing, and making memories that I hope they carry with them for the rest of their lives.
There is something so special about a life where you can work hard with the people you love, make something with your own hands, and at the end of the day look back and know you did it together.
**God has been so good to our family.** 🙏❤️
I’m thankful for the farm, thankful for the work, thankful for the lessons, and most of all, thankful for the people I get to share it all with.
Sometimes the greatest blessings aren’t found in the big moments… they’re found in the ordinary days that we get to spend together. 🌾🐄❤️
