Fall Resolution: Savoring Life

Fall Resolution: Savoring Life

  I have yet to find a mom that doesn’t consider herself BUSY! It really amazes me how little time there is in the day to get everything done…and most days, very little actually gets done. I have yet to find empty-nester parents who haven’t said to me something like, “Savor the moments, it goes...

A Very SAD Day For My Baby Goats

A Very SAD Day For My Baby Goats

Today was a very difficult day for me…and, I’m sure, more so for my baby goats. (Just to catch you up, on the second half of our vacation– which was so relaxing and wonderfully uneventful that I decided not to write a “part 2” post- our friend sent us home with two new adorable baby...

CA Coast & Yosemite Vacation- Part 1

CA Coast & Yosemite Vacation- Part 1

We’re on vacation!  This year has been extremely stressful for us, so after saying, “I need a vacation” a thousand times over the last few years, we decided to actually do it.  We took a few days to make our way up the California coast then head over to my mother in law’s house outside...

January Skies from Our Southern California Homestead

January Skies from Our Southern California Homestead

January is my favorite month in Southern California.  Not only because it is my birthday month, but because we have the most amazingly beautiful sunsets of the entire year.  I used to easily stroll down to the beach to enjoy the views and have worried about losing this joy since moving to our new mountain...

First Week On The Homestead Begins with a Massacre!

The porch at our new house was (and, um…still is) covered in boxes and instead of unpacking and cleaning, as I should have done, I wanted to get my homesteading adventure officially started by bringing home some chickens.  Fortunately our new house came with a fully enclosed chicken coop and absolutely adorable hen house. I...

My Unvaccinated Story- Video Gallery

**Real Food Family is looking for families to share their story on this video gallery! Sometimes I think I shouldn’t publicly get involved in the “vaccine debate”.  What if our nation eventually mandates all vaccinations, without exemption, and my family becomes a targeted enemy of the state?  My online postings will be documented proof that...
