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 …
#downonthefarm
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, …
A busy day
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 …
Wyoming
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…
Life on the farm
It feels like 2938 days since I last blogged, but surely that can’t be true. The days seem to just come and go here, and we are absolutely constantly working. Like I’m not sure when the last time I took a shower was. I mean, what’s the point? I’m currently sitting at my beautiful new farm table- the only furniture …
I’m coming home
Readers… we’re almost there. I can’t even believe it myself. We’ve hit 10 of the 50 states in the last 3 weeks on this crazy journey together, and as we’re literally coming to our final destination in a few short hours, I’m struck with ALL the feels. One, without question, is gratitude. Thank you Lord. Man, we have been so …
The Windy City
Oh Chicago, the windy city! What a blast we had exploring as a family! I have to tell you, I don’t think we could have possibly fit anymore in to the 24 hours we spent seeing the sights. Even with three young kids, we got it done. And I, for one, am leaving a complete and total fan of the …
Family Matters
Readers, I’ve missed you. I hope you’ve missed us. It’s been four whole days! But we’ve been busy as ever doing a whole lot of not a lot with family. But when you’re with family, it all feels very busy and very exhausting, right? In the best way, of course! You’ll find us today where you left us last time, Rockford, Illinois. …
The woes of moving
Most of you don’t realize this, but when Thomas left to take the uhaul across the country to our farm, he embarked on quite the adventure. He and his friend, also called Tom, ended up doing a three day trip in about 50 hours. It’s quite the story… check it out!
South Dakota
Okay, so turns out the alarm in our trailer in the middle of the night, probably wasn’t due to the Golden Retriever’s laying against it. Or at least not entirely. It was probably due to the fact that we were actually suffocating ourselves. I agree, that sounds dramatic, but we’ve never camped in the snow before with the trailer, so …
