I recently heard the best explanation of the term “balance” ever…. “selective neglect”. (For example…even though I haven’t published a blog post in weeks- actually months- I’m going to stop writing now that I’ve written a sentence and watch a movie with my husband instead. I’ll come back when the time is right.) 9 days...
In case you haven’t read about it yet, we’ve decided to leave our homestead and live in town next to the beach again. This was a very difficult decision driven mainly by the desire to get completely out of debt (cars included) and save money. We will also be closer to our church and the...
Okay, this isn’t just one week, but some photos from the past few weeks. Welcome to our crazy life… The strawberries have been incredible this year.

My husband loves shooting photos with old cameras. He comes from a family of photographers and I can boast that my grandmother was a photographer as well…but Brendan is the one who has continued the family hobby. Remember the days when you had to take your film to the film store and wait for your...
Here’s a little update on the farm… We’ve got about 28 chickens right now, 10 of which are these little guys that hatched in my incubator around the end of August. I love the cool colors I get from my “mutt” eggs! Here is “Puffy”. He’ll puff up pretty much any time you go outside...
