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

I have a little feel-good, fun story for you this week. Twice a week I get up at 4:30am to run with a couple friends in the wee hours of the morning. It’s peaceful and the traffic usually isn’t bad – only a handful of times have we run into any “excitement” on our runs.

I want to give a little shout out to Dan this week. We’ve been through a lot over the last couple of months and there’s been a lot of grief. I’ve probably been a little difficult to be around sometimes as I try to manage my emotions, but he hasn’t left my side once. If

This week’s post is a little late, but I wanted to write about the “Find Your Joy” author event held Saturday at the Huron Library. I mentioned a few weeks ago the library had reached out to me back in February and asked if I’d participate in this event. I’d have the opportunity to sell
