You want a little July in your January? We just finished July on the Farm, our latest video documenting a year on our farm, one month at a time. Head over to the thegrovestead.com and enjoy!
Ivar told me, “I just realized an igloo is basically an earthen oven!” He’s been outside so much this week and it has me feeling sentimental for that pocket of time where you would stay outside for hours and hours digging and building and packing until your mom called you inside for the third time. And the only thought on your mind was how awesome this snow fort was going to be. Remember that?
Giant cotton balls are falling from the sky and the sheep love it.
Entire outfits are chosen based on if they can carry a baby. Entire outfits are dismissed if they can’t fit a baby. I just showed her this picture to ask if I could post it and she said, “if I can pick some emojis.”🙍🏻‍♀️🙍🏻‍♀️🙍🏻‍♀️🙍🏻‍♀️🏠🚵🏻‍♀️🍪🥬🥦🌻🐠🧶🤓🌸
Grateful for super fun friends (and next door neighbors!) who were game for a candlelight-and-snowpants-bring-your-own-picnic tonight. This was a tradition from my childhood, eating chili in a snow fort with our neighbors and now the tradition lives on!
Super excited (and honored) to be joining @townsends_official livestream tomorrow to talk about my new book! We have been fans of his youtube channel for years, learning about life in the 18th century. Join us at 2:30pm central this Friday! (Search for “townsends” on YouTube) #townsends #livinghistory
