Back in January, I shared our financial goals for the year, just as I have done for the past few years. Perhaps some of you detail-oriented readers noticed that after my first quarterly report, I stopped posting progress reports for 2023. There were three main reasons for this. First, our lives were turned upside down …
Wow, November went by fast! So many good things…Thanksgiving (complete with plenty of card games for all!), our new full-time business plan for the flower farm going even better than we’d hoped, lots of fall prep work like putting in tulip and daffodil bulbs, time out in the sunshine as a family… This year has …
You guys. Can I just say that ever since my husband and I decided about a month ago that we were officially going to take our flower farm full time and not have my husband look for another job elsewhere that life has been a little insane? True, it’s been insane in the best kind …

Yikes, I’m getting this out super late. Between Matt unexpectedly losing his job and school starting up again and us being in the peak of flower farming season, things have been crazy over here. I’m not even going to try and make this as detailed as I normally do, simply because I just need to …
I wonder when this year will stop feeling like a total blur…maybe when I’m less sleep deprived? Basically ever since Naomi’s unexpected early arrival at the end of April and everything that’s happened since, I feel like time is flying. The biggest news for June was that we were able to finally bring Naomi home …
