Last week, my parents had the grandkids for four days. For almost a week leading up to it, my oldest nephew, Connor, was asking if he could have a sleepover at our house. This isn’t the first time he’s asked to stay over, so we finally said he could plan on staying over one night […]
I haven’t talked about my boy, Dobby, in a while. He’s still here and doing well! Although, it’s become pretty clear lately that my little boy is turning into an old man. And despite the fact that I’ve told him many times he’s not allowed to get old, he insists on doing it anyway. He’s

It was another busy, busy week, and I didn’t have a lot of time to think about what I wanted to write about. I was pretty close to saying “screw it, I’ll take another week off,” but I really didn’t want to do that. While I was brainstorming ideas, I sometimes google blog topic ideas

When we’re not at the farm, we’ve been busy working on home improvement projects. It’s been busy, and a slow-going process, but progress is progress! A couple of years ago, Dan painted the living room while I was on a work trip, and it was a wonderful surprise to come home to. The living room
What a wonderful, busy week it was! Two months ago, the NATE staff moved into our brand-new office building; and this week we had our official Ribbon Cutting and Open House celebration. When I was hired almost four years ago, there was already talk of building a new office, so it’s pretty awesome that it

For the first time in almost three months, neither Dan nor I have to go to the farm AND we have zero plans. Don’t get me wrong, I love the farm, and I love how much Dan loves the farm. But this time of year starts getting crazy with planting, picking rock, miscellaneous projects of

I talk about the importance of exercise in a lot of my blog posts, and how many of us come up with excuse upon excuse not to fit in a workout at least a few times a week. One excuse I’ve heard: I don’t have a gym membership, and I don’t have workout equipment at

It’s starting to feel like summer!!! I’m not usually a big fan of the heat, but I have definitely been finding myself getting excited about the warmer days we’ve had. I still don’t love running in it, but I’ll get used to it eventually. I’m more excited to go for walks with Dobby and not
