A little over one week ago, our youngest child turned two. I can hardly believe it. How can he be two already? It seems like I was just bemoaning Mabrey's 2nd birthday, and now she is five. Time goes by much too quickly in my opinion. Moses is super sweet, and is into everything! He … Continue reading Our Ninth Child’s Second Birthday || Low Budget Farm Theme

A Long Weekend
Excitement has been buzzing around our house all weekend. It has been such a good one. Normally I am perfectly content staying home, but we have been gone quite a bit the last few days.

Happy Tuesday, ladies! The days are getting warm and my kiddos are itching for summer. I, on the other hand, relish the beauty and (relative) coolness of spring.

I've been working in … Continue reading A Weekly Glimpse Into Our Home #13

Looking out the window, I see a small open field. A downed tree juts into the grass, sticking out of the wood line like a sore thumb. One more thing to clean up, but thankfully our children enjoy playing on it's branches. Near the back of the open expanse, I spot the few trees we … Continue reading Enjoying Our Renovation Journey

Our Journey towards a Simpler Life || Part 3
Read the first part of our story here. Read the second part of our story here. The day dawned early. I crawled out of bed at my mother in law's home, my pregnant body still sore from the long ride to Georgia the day before. But goodness, was I ever hopeful.
