Year one

One year ago yesterday, a family of seven- 2 adults, 3 kids, and 2 Goldens- arrived at Shalom Farm in Summertown, Tennessee. We had left Minden, Nevada nearly three weeks before that, and had been adventuring across the country as we transitioned from Westerners to Southerners. We were weary, tired, and ready to settle into our new home. We pulled …

Chattanooga

The Cunningham clan made a get away this weekend, and it was much needed! It’s been a while since we put this ol’ travel trailer to real use- never mind the fact that we use it as a guest house when visitors are in town, which is frequently. But we haven’t towed it anywhere since last summer, which is to …

9 years

9 years ago today, I said yes. No, not to getting married, but I guess you could say that I was saying yes to ‘happily ever after…’ On March 8, 2009, I nervously took a step into entrepreneurship. I didn’t know that’s exactly what I was doing at the time, but I could tell that I was on the verge …

Don’t miss the roses

It’s only February 18th and I have had the great pleasure of spending time already this year- 2018- in Maui, in Nevada, in California and of course, at home in Tennessee. I love to travel, but to some of you, this might sound terrible! I get it. Travel can be exhausting. But I feel so blessed to be able to …

Shalom Family

The end of January was spent in the most amazing way here at Shalom Farm… After 17 days away from my immediate family, I had the great pleasure of flying home to Tennessee with my mom, Papa Scott, my sister, Uncle Chris, and my nephew- Baby Dylan. All my most favorite family people were united for the first time since …

Iowa! We see you!

There’s an Iowa kind, a special chip on the shoulder attitude… JUST kidding! I was a theater major, it’s basically required to sing! Iowa, in this episode of Raising Cunninghams, we find ourselves in your great graces. You’re flat, but you’re lovely. You strike me as the heart beat of our food production, and yet, I didn’t really have much …

Attacked

Have you ever been attacked? I’m talking about the kind of attack, where you’re going about your day as if nothing is out of the ordinary, and all of the sudden someone shows up and scares you to your core. They hold a gun to your head, and they make you question absolutely every decision you’ve made that day to …

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 …

Hit the road!

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. …
