Reset
Every day is a new day. Good thing! Today was another day of chores, errands, a trip into town with the traffic and time obligations, more chores, then make dinner. Then there are the things that don’t quite fit in. That’s ok. Just let it roll off. Every day is a new day! Drop off…

No slow time
When you think of a peaceful country life, you think of taking things at your own pace. At least I did! I thought of this peaceful life in the country, doing some cooking, some gardening, taking some walks. Maybe go for a ride on our quads… Well maybe someday! I love my life, but the…

The Why
Everyone needs a why. What makes you get up each morning. What makes you go to work, do chores, work a homestead? What is your motivation? For me, it is my family and my faith. I am known for taking on more than I should. I have a bookkeeping business that I am trying to…
