Note: I just wanted to say a warm thank you to the outpouring of love, prayers, and support you have showed us since my last post. Going through a loss is never easy, but we are so grateful to have so many good people in our lives. Oof. Even though I struggle with January every …
In case you’re new around here, I’m currently working on my second 101 in 1001 list, which is a list of 101 goals or things I hope to complete/do in 1,001 days (which translates to about 2.75 years). This format for goal-setting has been highly motivating for me because it combines the power of a …
Confession: I don’t even really think it’s remotely possible for us to complete all of these this year, unless Matt gets a large raise at work and we actually make a decent profit this second year of flower farming.

After having a slow, (mostly) restful last week of the year, we’re ready to hit the ground running in the new year! We have a ton of stuff that needs to happen this month — largely with the flower farm — which I’m actually pretty excited about because I think that keeping busy will help …

We moved into our home on November 27, 2020 (Black Friday, coincidentally), which means that this marks our one-year anniversary of being in our new place and in our new community. While I have mixed feelings about how this first year has been moving to a rural county at a further distance from family, for …
I feel like this whole last month got away from me without much to show for it in the way of completed tasks. However, we did do some really fun things together as a family and created some great memories–like attending a few Halloween parties and fall events, taking the kids to a nearby national …
