Hey y’all… time is flying by so fast!

May 2025 Garden Walk and Updates

A Walk Through the Garden
A walk in nature always amazes me and reminds me that we serve an awesome GOD! We are surrounded by his love and mercy but often we get so caught up in life that we don’t see it or feel it.
We are so blessed to have an abundance of nature in our own backyard and garden… this reminds us our of creator every day.
It makes me ponder how amazing the Garden of Eden must’ve been… I’m sure that our garden can’t be anything close to that but it can be a place where we can talk to God and feel his presence as He surrounds us with His love. The burdens of this world melts around us when we allow ourselves to take in all of His glory.

Special Holiday Meals: Valentine’s Day Menu & Activities
It’s so hard to believe that we are almost through half of February!! Where oh where has the time gone?
We’ve been busy around here with the greenhouse, moving animals, setting up compost systems, and getting garden beds ready for planting, which should happen pretty soon. We are hoping to get some potatoes planted this week.
I believe that Valentine’s Day started out as a religious holiday, but it has now become a major spending event for those who are romantically involved. It’s crazy to see the amount of money spent on candies and cut flowers! We watched a clip on World Watch, and it was eye-opening! You can read more about Valentine’s Day traditions HERE.
Valentine’s Day: A Day To Celebrate or Not?
I can remember the days when my older kids went to public school… I’d always be scrambling to come up with money for Valentine’s and candies to send with them. Then my kiddos would come home with stories of how other parents had surprised their kiddos with balloons, chocolates, and flowers. I’d always feel like I hadn’t done ‘ENOUGH’ and I’d scramble some more to buy them a little box of candy or something special.

Garden Updates, Greenhouse, Flower Planting, and a Pantry Challenge
Hey everyone!
How is your new year going so far? We’ve been busy as usual and trying to get as much done as we can before the summer comes… although these lower-than-normal temperatures have been making that a little difficult.
Our gardens are still going and we are so thankful for that as we have really been enjoying the food that we are getting from them. Up until a week ago we still had tomatoes and green beans… the tomatoes don’t look too happy at the moment and the green beans are a little sad too but I think they might pull through when we get past these crazy temps.

Starting the New Year Off Right with Bill Organization!
I hate paying bills, as I’m sure almost everyone does, but I have a couple of ways that make it easier. I set a day each week to sit down and pay the bills that are due or to schedule upcoming bills. I also like to keep them organized with a simple printout. I can check them off and then highlight them as I see them come through on my bank account. This helps me to stay on top of the bills, avoid late fees, and not have any overdrawn accounts.
