Happy Birthday Lil'Bug- part 1
My beautiful girl. I can't believe that 5 years ago Lil'Bug made me a mama. It was love at first tingle, but this girl, she took her first breath and took mine away. She's amazing. I am often left without words at how much a small bundle of joy could change our lives so very much. I can't believe how short this five year journey has been and how far we've come. Dreams do come true. She makes me believe in myself and in the world again. I love you Lil'Bug.
Mother, wife, sister, friend. This is our second year on the farm, a dream we've had since we were first married. We unschool, AP parent, and grow our own food (or try to).

The white hen. So far she's been roasted chicken dinner, chicken pizza, chicken pot pie- next up, chicken egg rolls, chicken salad, and bone broth. 1 chicken, 6+ meals.

To Warm Our Hands
We bought a wood kitchen stove. It will also heat our entire house and provide hot water. One problem is that we found lots of people who are able to install it but no one who will or has time. We have a metal roof, which is awesome, but makes dealing with the chimney liner installation tricky. So, for now the beautiful stove is sitting on a piano mover in my dining room. Sigh. It really is lovely and not at all intimidating, as I thought it would be during the months we waited for it.

Downstairs Pictures of the House
Abby from Sugarcreek worked hard and helped me get really organized and get some color on the walls. Over 3 months, though really only a handful of weeks of actual labor, we collected paint and things from here and there and then.....
Now, it is starting to feel like home. I was getting used to the white walls, but really I am a lady in need of colour. Thank you Abby for helping so very much. :)
