Vlogging as proven to be far more of a time challenge than I first realized. WHO KNEW farming required so much effort and constant attention?? But alas, it’s important to us to tell our story and be faithful to this random journey that has been put on our hearts and in our path, and so… if you can be patient …
I recently had the privilege- yes, I intend that word- to attend the funeral of a beautiful friend, whom I would never have the chance to meet. Her name was Sarah. She was a mom of three- her kid’s ages are similar to my three. She was a wife of 10 years- she passed just a few days shy of …
The term ‘home’ is growing ever more diluted for me. I’ve called so many places ‘home’ over the years, that I can’t say I even could define it if I was pressed to tell you what that means to me. This isn’t meant to be a sad sentiment. Quite the opposite, actually. My friend Tori- a fellow Nevada to Tennessee …
It was your birthday this week. Facebook reminded me of that. You would have been 64. Aunt Janel reminded me of that. Two years ago, I commented on your Facebook page to wish you happy birthday and it got me thinking… how many years went by where I didn’t? No post on social media, no call, no card. Nothing. Because …
Our population here at Shalom Farm has SORED to outrageous heights in only about six short weeks. We’ve hit the big 5-0 if you can believe that! 5 humans 3 dogs 2 cats 16 chickens 9 turkeys 12 guinea fowl 2 hogs and 1 Turdy- although I haven’t seen him in a while… 50- animals, all! Again, at one point, …
Let’s unpack this concept a little bit together… My heart is full. I’ve realized a really wonderful dream in my life, and achieved our families joint vision of living on a farm. I have three fantastic kids, who are absolutely thriving here. My husband has never been more emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally content. We are so thrilled to be …
We love South Dakota! Who knew it was such a rad place to visit? Honestly, I even considered living there as we drove through the Black Hill’s for the first time… but I don’t think I can bear the winters- and I love the winter! South Dakota will always be a place we remember, revere and return to. It’s hard …
Continuing the documentation of our road trip out to Tennessee via our vlog… This is the Wyoming leg of the trip. We love Wyoming! Well, most of Wyoming. To me, it is so very much the wild west that’s left. It’s just big, wide open country. And it’s pretty. Come along with us as we adventure through it…
As I type, my husband is on the phone with a peacock guy… When do you know you have an animal hoarding problem? So we have officially added TWO mule foot hogs to the party here at Shalom farm. Wilbur and Charlotte are their names, of course. They are actually super cute and very friendly. I, for one, am slightly …
We took off from Minden Nevada, on our way to Summertown Tennessee, by way of a three week road trip, at the end of April! It was a blast. We saw and did A LOT and we want to invite you along for the ride, as we always do. The first leg of our journey was heavy on the driving. …
