The only joy I can liken it to is when a toy actually dumped out of your cereal box: Elsie just found her first dandelions! She came running in the house, out of breath, to tell us the good news. 🥰
After many weeks of lambing and bottle feeding, we got away for a little vacation. When we got back home Hattie wrote a note to send to Embassy Suites, “Dear MBC, Thank you that we got to go to you.” 🥰 (Also, elevator tag is as fun as I remembered...)
This week I have been so amazed at how, in like one big lightening storm, God ripped out the brown carpet and replaced it with bright green shag. 😍
We went for the Easter bonnets this year and of the three of us, I don’t know who was the most excited about it. Hats are fun. They should be a thing...
Fulfilled an annual Easter tradition: teaching one of my children what an iron is and what it is used for. 😅
The Farm Open House was so great and we’re excited to do more events like this. It was so special to have both longtime friends and fast friends that were made in person. What a joy when social media becomes actually social!!! 🎉

Becca joined me this week for an interview about Durable Trades. She shared her perspective on discerning your family’s giftings and aptitudes when building a family economy… Instead of asking “What am I good at?” the question becomes “What are WE good at?”

“Even if you’re not searching for potential new careers, Durable Trades is a great read, describing how our fragile economies have compromised other values in life and offers discussion on ways to refocus on our jobs, families, and communities.”
