Sundays 🩵

Unpopular opinion, but I LOVE to mow and w**d eat 😂 There’s just something about looking back and seeing everything freshly cut that makes me happy!

3 hours of mowing + 2.5 hours of w**d eating in 100° weather was FOR SURE the Sunday workout 😂🥵

Daddy got the hay cut and tedded while Mama mowed, and Emma got to play with family while we got it all done. 🩵 Then we both tackled the w**d eating together—and thank goodness he helped because I would’ve NEVER gotten finished without him! 😂

We make a pretty good team, if I do say so myself. 🩵🌾

Just another Sunday doing the work for this little life we love.

Day 1 of keeping promises to myself.

I don’t bat an eye when it comes to taking care of other people but taking care of me is hard sometimes.

After another miscarriage a couple months ago, another surgery and just mentally dealing with the grief and being “postpartum” but not having the precious child to show for it, honestly has just kicked my tail.

It’s hard enough to balance being a wife, mama, helping run our farm, working full time and all the extras I’m doing without adding loss into the mix.

I lost 130+ pounds and kept it off until pregnancy, loss and everything else and I’ve gained 28 pounds back. But honestly it’s not just the weight I feel slowly coming back. It’s the low self esteem, low confidence in myself, draggy/tired/sluggish.

I will never allow the “old me” back into my life again. The 350 pound, didn’t think she deserved to live, sad, down and depressed girl who was just surviving in a world she could have been thriving in her whole life!
N.E.V.E.R will she be back!!!

So with all that being said I’m picking myself back up again, trying everyday to do something to make me feel better! Mentally & physically!

I also would like to add that it’s okay to “start again” because if I hadn’t of started again 4 years ago I may not be here today!

Will everyday be sunshine and rainbows? No! But honestly I’m going to tell myself it is and once you say something enough times you will start to believe it!

If you are struggling mentally, reach out to someone.

You are loved🩵
You are worthy🎀

We have had so many people make comments like this”why are they growing such a big garden”, “why are they canning all this mess”. On and on and on comments…. THIS IS WHY!!!??? Thankful we have so much stuff put away from our garden because on days like this we are quickly reminded that grocery store prices will forever go up!!!!! Praying for those less fortunate. As a nurse and seeing so many elderly patients on fixed incomes it’s so hard to see this happening in the world!

Mornings with my best girl 🩷

Early mornings before clocking in at the office.

One thing her Daddy and I both feel strongly about is teaching her the things that matter in the real world. Responsibility. Hard work. Taking care of what you have. Understanding that something doesn’t have to be brand new to have value. And knowing that when you choose to care for animals, they depend on you to show up and do the work.

Right now she thinks she’s just having fun with a water hose and helping clean her new to her chicken coop. But we know these little everyday moments are helping shape the woman she’ll become.

We’re not just raising a little girl on a farm. We’re raising her to know how to work, care for things, and appreciate what she has. 🤍🌾

And that may be one of my favorite parts of this whole farm life. 🩵🥹
