2023/04/29

On our farm, it feels like spring planting is getting started late. In reality we are not THAT late, nonetheless, I am anxious about it. We have something scheduled every weekend in May, this means I will have to leave the farm and do the activity. This gives me farmer guilt, it’s similar to “Mom-guilt” where you feel like you can’t be away from your kids or else you are an anxious mess, while simultaneously knowing that you are your best self when you get away. This boils down to a whole lot of

#62 How Gratitude Changed My Mom Guilt and 5 Easy Gratitude Habits This past week, we went to the American Farm Bureau Fusion Conference in Jacksonville Florida.

While I am not sure we can ever totally get rid of it, I know that gratitude has changed mine is a

If I am lucky my daughter will sleep for one two hour stretch per night, other than that, she is up every 15-60minutes. It’s funny what your brain does to you during these hours of sleep deprivation.
