Well, I’m not off to an amazing start on blogging this year, I’ll be honest, but I’m hoping to make up for my CRAZY January by blogging extra in February. You’re welcome. January marks the beginning part of winter, and I have to say, I’m already over it. I LOVE winter. Winter is my jam! Technically fall is my favorite …
Farm Fresh
So much to report down on the farm these days. I swear, things are always changing here, and it’s not even something that we can foresee or plan most of the time. We have become experts are rolling with what’s thrown at us. For example, it’s freezing here. By that I quite literally mean the HIGH has only just today …
It really is the most wonderful time of the year
Christmas came, Christmas went… no snow. I know all you Tennessee friends are laughing at me right now, but I really believed there was a chance! I mean, the weather looked very promising, and if I’m telling the full story, we did see snow flurries on Christmas Eve for about 45 seconds as we were driving up to Spring Hill, …
Life and death
Don’t panic, this blog isn’t as serious as the title makes it sound. At least not for me. To one of the hogs, however… So yea, we killed a pig. And yes, that was the plan all along. Yes, it was sad- a bit sadder than I thought it would be, but for a shorter period of time than I …
Fall on the Farm
Man oh man has it been a while since my last update on the farm! And no, it’s not because there isn’t anything going on. As a matter of fact, things haven’t even slowed down a little since we arrived. The ‘honey do’ list is ever expanding, and as much as we seem to do, the list never seems to …
Sneak peek into farm life!
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 …

Again, at one point, …
Is home really where the heart is?
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 …
Skunked
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 …
