Years ago, when I first started my other blog (which is now exclusively about flower farming), I used to run a series every Sunday called The Homestead Weekly. It was basically just a weekly round-up of everything we were doing around our home, and it actually was probably my favorite blog series of all time. …
Every February for the past several years, I’ve done a traditional “Day in the Life” post just to show how much changes (and what doesn’t!) from year to year. In last year’s post, I was 5 months pregnant with Naomi and we were buried under so much snow that there wasn’t much flower farming stuff …
Happy 2024! I always love when a new month starts on a Monday, and I think it’s beyond satisfying to have the whole year starting off on a Monday. I know Mondays often get a bad reputation, but it’s usually the day of the week when I’m feeling the most motivated to get stuff done, …

One lesson I definitely learned from 2020 was that I really can’t even begin to predict what each new year will have in store for us, and that trend of being endlessly surprised by life’s curve balls continued in 2021. To be honest, I didn’t have much of a definite life plan for 2021 other …
Every February for the past few years, I’ve done a Day in the Life post to see how much changes from year to year. Last year’s post was all about life with a preemie newborn, a toddler, and a preschooler, and although life was chaotic (because life with young kids just is like that), I …
