Hello! However, you found me I’m happy to have you here while I start this new chapter in blogging! It’s an idea I had toyed with back when we first moved out into the country and started building our house. Since I have gotten into the Hobby Farm and Breeding life my Dad, has encouraged me to blog about it. He’s been a big support along the way and I appreciate his insights and encouragement! I told him that he’ll have to guest blog as well, so he may chime in from time to time. I’m also hoping to get my husband and kids to chime in on their experiences as well.

As I get started, I plan to write about current things that are happening on our little Hobby Farm. I also will be going back to the beginning and writing about how we got to where we are now. It all started with a dream to get out of town and move to the country. I wanted to share our experience to encourage others who have dared to dream a big dream, that it can be done! Some people thought we lost our minds, but we did what we did for us, not them. We had a dream to raise our kids in the country and start homesteading. We sold our house in town, packed up our belongs, and moved into a camper trailer with four kids and two cats, while we worked to clear our land and build our house! It was a crazy adventure that has been so worth it! I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat!

I’ll be sharing current things happening with raising our chickens and ducks, and breeding our Labradors and Bengals. I’ll share about gardening and landscaping. I’ll share some of the ups and downs of parenting. (We have seven kids!) I’ll share about the different projects we work on while we continue to develop our land. And just the randomness of what pops into my mind!

I plan to slowly go back and detail the process of how it started! We cleared our land, built a shed, had electricity brought to our property, had septic put in, drilled our own well, and started building our house! That is a lot to cover just from the first year! I’ll go on to talk about putting in our dream garden and getting started with chickens and ducks! I’m sure as I get going I’ll remember many more things to share about! It’s been a fantastic journey for us and I’m excited to share about it!

A few disclaimers though:

I am not a fan of English and Grammer! I do the best I can, but I don’t get to hung up on all the details. Life is too short to keep up with all the nonsensical rules of spelling and grammar. If you see an error just move on! I’m just looking to casually share information, not write a dissertation. ;)
I am not an expert in any area of my blogging! Again, I’m just sharing personal experiences of what has and hasn’t worked for us! I’m a trial and error type of learner. I do a lot of unorthodox things along the way. You’ll learn that I get more posts up.
I’m a very laid back, and easy going person. I love and get excited about new ideas and love sharing ideas in a friendly exchange of information. So, if you want to chime in and leave comments please do! Because I’m not an expert I am always open to new ideas on how to do things!
That said - The world is full of different ideas, opinions and ways of doing things. I’m always down for learning about other ideas and ways of doing things, but in a kind way. I’m open to constructive criticism, but not mean or condescending remarks. If I’m wrong about something or you disagree with me - that’s fine! Nicely explain your thoughts and I’m more than happy to listen! Take a rude and hateful approach then I will tune you out! I don’t have time for drama and negative people! I feel sad that I have to disclaim this, but you never know the type of people that you’ll come across.
I’m a very open book! I love to talk and share ideas! If there is something you want to know then ask away! Most likely I’ll share! Unless of course you’re looking for sensitive information or something overly personal. ;)
Thanks for being here! I hope you found something useful or even entertaining! Check back for more updates!
