Some days on the farm are slow and peaceful.
Other days… you accidentally fertilize your entire barn aisle. 🫠💩

The other evening, Jennifer Larson and I were in full chore mode, sweating in the heat. We mucked all the stalls, fed the horses, filled the hay bags—all the things. We loaded the manure into the spreader, hitched it up, and headed out to the field to do the final job: engage the spreader, dump the p**p, call it a win.

At least… that was the plan.

Jennifer was driving, I was riding shotgun, and we were feelin’ accomplished. As we rolled past the barn aisle on the way back in, I casually glanced to my right… and immediately 🤦‍♀️

There it was. A full-blown trail of manure—starting halfway down the barn and stretching across the front yard.

Y’all. The spreader had been going the entire time.
We weren’t spreading out in the pasture… we were decorating the barn and yard with a fine layer of 💩✨.

We looked at each other—part laughing, part annoyed—and just shook our heads.

So we cleaned it up. Together. With a big shovel and broom, sweat, and a whole lot of sarcastic commentary.

It was one of those annoying-but-hilarious farm mishaps that you’ll never forget—and honestly, it just reminded me how lucky I am to have people to laugh with, work beside, and make a mess with… even if it means shoveling p**p twice in one evening.

Raising bold, fiery little souls?
It’s not quiet.
It’s not easy.
And it was never supposed to be.

Some days I’m drained to the bone—
The noise, the endless questions, the mess of it all...
It unravels me.

But then I breathe deep and remember—
I’m not raising girls who were made to shrink back.

I’m raising voices.
Voices that speak up when it’s hard.
Hearts that push back when something feels off.
Spirits that run full-speed toward life with a fire I could never—and would never—try to put out.

They weren’t created for silence.
They weren’t created to play small.

Yes, it’s loud.
Yes, it stretches me in ways I never expected.

But that fire?
It’s who they are.
And I won’t shame it.
I won’t dim it.
I’ll teach them how to carry it with grace.
I’ll protect it like the gift it is.

Because I know what it’s like to grow up thinking your “too much” was a flaw.
And I refuse to pass that lie down to them.

Let the world say what it wants—
I’ll be over here raising world-changers.

🌿 The Not-So-Secret Garden 🌿

It all started with an idea—a turtle pond. But after a close call with one of my daughters in the pool at our old place, I became all too aware of the risks of water around the house. I knew this pond couldn’t be somewhere easy for little ones to reach. Then, a family friend gifted me some fencing, and instantly I saw it: a little haven just for me.

Fast forward a year, and this “garden escape” has grown into something much more than a pond. Now, it’s filled with garden beds brimming with lessons on self-sufficiency, a mud kitchen for the kids (because, let’s be real, they always find me out there!), and even a few chickens clucking around my little oasis. It’s become my place to clear my head, soak in a bit of calm, and reconnect.

So, while it’s not as secret as I’d hoped, this little space has become a treasure trove of calm, creativity, and memories…with a few clucking chickens and some wandering kids.

Anyone else have a “secret” spot that’s never as secret as you planned? 🌻

There’s something truly special about watching your kids grow when you have children of different ages.

The other day, I had one of those moments that just made my heart swell. Seeing my oldest daughter step up and help the younger cheerleaders was such a beautiful experience.

She’s becoming a leader in her own way, and I couldn’t be prouder.

When I first imagined life with four kids, I thought it would be overwhelming. But the truth is, the more kids I’ve had, the more natural it has become. It’s like we’ve found our rhythm, and caring for them has grown easier, not harder.

Each of my daughters is in a different phase of life, and it’s such a gift to witness. My middle girls are experiencing what it’s like to have a baby sister, showering her with love, attention, and care.

I get to see them nurture her, and in doing so, they’re growing, too. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen—watching them not just as individuals, but as sisters learning from and loving one another.

Parenting multiple children gives you the unique gift of seeing life through different stages all at once. You get to watch your older ones take on new responsibilities and become role models.

You witness your younger ones finding their place in the family, while being surrounded by the love and guidance of their older siblings.

It’s a reminder that while each child’s journey is different, they are all intertwined in this beautiful story we’re creating together as a family.

For any mamas out there feeling overwhelmed, remember this—there is so much beauty in these moments. Watching your children grow and interact at different stages is one of the greatest blessings.

We’re raising future leaders, nurturers, and amazing humans. Let’s soak in every phase of this journey. 💕
