Or really just a giant muddy mess in our backyard. Last summer we started the process of building a deep pit beef barn to feed cattle in. Basically, a building with a 12 foot concrete hole under it to contain manure for the cattle that we were going to raise in the building. The process was pretty amazing and exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. Elliette went from thinking we were making a swimming pool to thinking that we were going to be buying her a horse to put in our ... continue reading...
Mommy Mondays: A Book Review and a Give Away!
One thing that Elliette is really into right now is reading. Especially when she is trying to get out of going to bed right away. She wants you to read about a billion books to her! It's hard for me to ever say no to books when she asks me to buy a new one and I am the queen of finding amazing deals and stocking up for birthdays, holidays, or gifts.

It pretty much sums up our two kiddos right now. A very happy, easy going Elijah. And Elliette, who looks almost pained to have to stop what activity she is doing to take a photo. She is our busy ... continue reading...
White Chicken Chili Burritos
It's already a busy new year for me. I seem like I have hit the ground running this month and will be traveling more this month that staying home! The good news about that is I have a really great conference coming up. And my first, very first, week long vacation without the kids. In Mexico! I am super excited, but also super nervous to leave the kiddos, and my farmer! In the next couple of days I have some meal preps, meal planning, and lots of snuggle time on my to-do list.
