Friday was quite the exciting day on the farm. I watched our mare foal. She had a little stud colt. His name is Snickers, and he is super cute, a little sweet with some crunchiness around the edges. As in, if you can get your hands on him, he settles right down, but catching him, […]

May 29, 2012 by 3 Comments
We started wheat harvest yesterday. This is the earliest wheat harvest on record. Normally we don’t cut until the second to third week of June.

Keeping up with Household Duties while Homeschooling
April 3, 2011 by 6 Comments
Honestly, I am not sure that you really can. You just have to hand it to God, and pray anyone that happens to stop by understands that not only is your home a home, but is also a school. Our family doesn’t really have a schedule, but we run on routines. Routines allow us to […]
Life Skills in the Homeschool
March 22, 2011 by 1 Comment
We are big on life skills. In fact at times, I think my children learn a lot more out of the mores then in the books. Rarely can life skills be learned in a book, character lessons, yes, but actually being able to carry those out, no. In our family, we incorporate life skills in […]

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
