Meet Etta Jo.  She is a Nigerian Dwarf cross goat in full milk that we were able to welcome into our farm.  We will be introducing her to the other girls over the next few days! This week has been very busy.  We are finishing up some candles, salves, and lip balms for our events this weekend.  We have launched two new lip balm flavors; Bubble Gum and BubbleMint.  I will say the BubbleMint is absolutely my favorite.  Starts nice and sweet with a bubbly flavor, and has you thinking for about 2 minutes "where the heck is the mint?"...

We've been so busy here. Between making candles/salve, blanching squash, and taking care of animals, we have been maxed out every night!  We had to go to the grocery store today to pick up some sale items (which is SO much fun with a 2.5 year old). Before the grocery store we visited the local pet store which just happened to have goldfish on sale SO now we are the proud owners of a new fan tail goldfish that Mae has proudly named Goldie like Peppa Pig's goldfish. Dan is thrilled, and I'm sure Goldie is too. The poor unfortunate...

Poor Mae has a nasty cold. I swear she inherited my sinus tract, which is horrible. She slept all night but was up early.  We played a while and then took a nice steamy bath to try to help her breathe. First cold of the season but every cold this poor kiddo gets is so stressful. Today we bought a little paint-it-yourself bird feeder on sale at Tractor Supply! I realize how much of a messy nightmare this will be, but keeping a sick kiddo busy and happy can be hard, so it's worth the mess.    We are so...

Being a farm is hard. Being a parent is hard. Being married is hard. For us as of late, all of the above is true. Bit of a rough weekend of working on bettering our family.  Going through trials and hurt has and will continue to make us stronger, and help us to come closer to God. This week will be one of healing and growing together, as partners, parents, and as a farm. We had two Farmer's Markets this weekend! A whole lot of work, and a whole lot of time put into both of them. Our garden will start...

So I want to take this opportunity to talk a little bit about a cause that is very close to us.  Pediatric Stroke Awareness.  Many of you are aware that Mae suffered a stroke at birth which left her with a brain injury.  This brain injury has resulted in a lifetime of hurdles that our little girl will be forced to endure.  There is no doubt in my mind that she won't be fine.  In the 2.5 years or so that I have come to know her I can truly say that she is so smart, so special, and so...
