Friday Free-For-All

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a wrap-up post, and boy do I have a lot to catch up on!! Kyndall is sailing right along in first grade, loving every single second.  Libby is treading water in Pre-K… some days are great, some not so much.  Shirts have been trucking along full speed, keeping us busier than we ever expected.  Soccer is in full swing, but will start wrapping up..

Barn Light Electric

Ever heard of Barn Light Electric? They are a light company that has tons of super cute lights, and right now they are having a contest for bloggers. They are giving away a $1000 gift certificate to a lucky winner.  Second place gets $500 and third place gets $250.  I never win anything, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to share a few of their lights.  You know, while I’m..

The Never-Ending Farm To-Do List

Canine Introductions

We have quite a few animal friends on our farm, but our dogs are the most loveable.  Introducing, in no special order: Spot–the sweet, calm stray who wandered our way about a year ago and chose to stay for good. Oakley–our baby before we had babies.  He’s going on 8 years of age and is the only one lucky enough to get to come inside the house. Bailey–one of our.. Read More
